Dark Horse Marine, LLC

The last thing you want to ever have to worry about when you’re out on the water is whether or not your equipment is up to par. Well here at Dark Horse Marine, we’re going to do everything possible to make sure those thoughts never cross your mind! We have more than 40 years of experience serving the entire marine and boating community – from individual owner/operators, to boat builders and engineers, to boat dealers and repair shops (and everyone in between) – providing top quality parts and tools to keep your boat out on the water. Working only with the highest quality products and the most reputable companies, our marine experts understand exactly what it takes to keep your boat running better than brand new all year round. We’ve cut out the middleman completely, and as a “brick and mortar” stocking company our marine experts will not only be able to help you find exactly what you need – we’ll always be able to get it out to you pronto (and without any of the sky high markup you may have been paying in the past). We hope you’ll turn to us for all your marine equipment and maintenance needs, and look forward to talking with you soon!

How do we still have these?! 👀

The Mantus Wet Storage Bag is a no-brainer when you need to keep your gear stored. With a 19” height and 11” diameter, you can keep your anchor rode nice and tidy or maybe even your diving equipment. Its PVC material is not only waterproof but built to withstand the sun as well.

👉 We currently have 3 left so snag one before they’re gone! Also, ask me how to get one — FREE 😉!

This is a stack of tape, that was taken off of an anchor rode after painted depth markers fully dried. 👉 Can you take a guess how many feet of painted depth markers this order had on it? They are measured in 50ft increments. Example: 100ft or 150ft. Leave a comment with your answers!! Let’s see who gets the closest!

The Final Product!!

The custom bridle we have been working on is finally done and ready. This dying process wasn’t as time savvy as we would have liked, but I do believe it came out beautifully!

Let us know what you think in the comments. If you could dye your snubber or bridle to match your boat, would you??

Anchor drop... or anchor slip? ⚓️⛓️

Did you know there’s a tiny powerhouse doing all the heavy lifting right inside your windlass?

Meet the gypsy (or wildcat)! ⚙️ It’s not just any wheel—it’s precision-engineered with custom-molded pockets built to match your G4 chain down to the millimeter. As it spins to drop or retrieve your ground tackle, those teeth securely lock onto each individual link for a slip-free, effortless anchor haul every single time. 🌊

👇 Quick question for your rig: Do you know the exact size chain your gypsy is built for?

Whether you’re running 1/4”, 5/16”, or 3/8”, we keep you covered! We always have top-quality chain right here on hand and ready to roll. Drop your chain size in the comments or shoot us a message if it’s time for an upgrade! 🚤💨
