Checked my bilge pump. First time in thirteen years. Working properly. Sorry, no pic.

No pic = it didn't happen.

"Did you guys come to sit on your phones, or enjoy the boat ride?" Mine is the only phone that needs to be charged, as I use it for Navionics and streaming music. Anyone else that "needs" their phone, better have it fully charged beforehand, or bring along their own power bank. If it were legal for me to operate a cel phone jammer, I'd have to buy several for others in the neighborhood, as the guys there are like-minded.

@drewkaree while i agree with you in principal and spirit, usually take the two girls and 2-4 of their teenage girl friends. I am afraid to make a stand for fear of a mutiny on the phone topic.

@tdonoughue Thanks for asking! bilge pump

 

[tdonoughue]

aw, 404.

Well, we'll give you the benefit of the doubt on it.

 

[WREKS]

@tdonoughue How about now?

 

[tdonoughue]

It works! Nicely done.

You'd be surprised how often they talk about "the time we were on the boat and...". It usually happens after they exhaust their battery and are forced to interact with life. The next trip (and subsequent trips), they start "saving" their batteries to be able to take pics, soon enough, they are trained to enjoy the boat and the phone is secondary, used to record the fun to show to others.

HAHA yessss! I feel the same, but several of my buddies are on call due to their jobs so sometimes its a must. Then you have their wifes allways wanting to take pictures of the kids, etc. I agree, when on trips or vacations I could care less about my phone. However, half the time im on the boat, I am "working" LOL

looks great. Did you use a heat gun to remove?

 

[jEt_jAk]

Changed the cover screws to red thumbscrews and matching oil cap.

No. Let it sit out in the heat for a little bit. Truth be told the first graphics on the boat we’re coming off and I replaced the graphics with the original. I followed all the instructions but the film started to come up after a year again. I wasn’t gonna replace them a third time.

 

[Scarabpaul]

Keep us posted on what you think about them. I've been considering these myself.

F.M., I just tested them out yesterday in some chop, i cannot believe the difference these tabs make. its literally a different boat!

I'd be interested in what you purchased and placement if you have pics.

Swapped out my wake/wake fingers for wake/surf and wake/kneeboard fingers!!

@jcyamaharider
I know this is an old post, but what fingers are those. Did the new fingers line up with the stock swivel? Looking for the same type of setup.
