    Uhm. Create your own theme (you can base it on the Marine Wordpress Theme if you want) and just add the code / css to the files needed? This is very basic Wordpress theme-building. What you do is you take the files in the Marine theme (make sure it's open souce / the license gives you rights to modify it), and then you change the header.php-file (most likely, since it's wordpress, the menu is present in header.php). You also need to change the css-file(s) of course, to add whatever styling you have for your menu

    yeah you should use <?php wp_nav_menu(); ?> instead of encoding html to the theme.

    Add this on functions.php
    register_nav_menus( array(
'topmenu' => __( 'Primary Navigation', 'mytemplate' )
) );
    PHP:
    Paste this in your header.php
    <?php wp_nav_menu(array ('theme_location' => 'topmenu')); ?>
    PHP:

    In wordpress dashboard go to Apprearance > Menu and create and match the menu
