Put on a wakeboard rack and mounted tower speakers. Only dreaming of the day we get to go out again ?.View attachment 193835

Looks fantastic. Nice garage. I tried that spot and shortly after put my wakeboard rack higher after setting it there so that it wouldn't collide with any tall dock posts or higher docks, as well as not be in my line of site when towing other sports or driving around. That spot didn't work out for me too well, especially when I put two boards in it with the lower board bindings pointing down.

Gotcha. I wondered about that. I kept looking at pics and couldn’t decide. I’ll probably go out there and move it today since I’ve got nothing but time since it definitely AIN’T boating weather around here.

Your height is probably about right for me. I stand 90% of the time I drive.

Killer deals at the boat show. $70 each where everywhere else was selling these for $89.

This was one of the easiest modifications I've done...

New Boat Buckles for the transom and moved one of the factory straps to the front to hold the boat down. Used the factory bolt upfront that holds the bow stop. Also found out both bow stop bolts were on the loose side

Picked up a 19 AR240 a couple weeks ago. I've just been buying random stuff and waiting on warmer weather to take it out finally.

Spark plugs
Scupper valve
Spare tire cover
Trailer Guides
5/8 ball valves (to be able to tow)
4 person tube Airhead Great mable
Ropes
Recovery ropes
Trailer hub caps
Armaflex to seal up the engine hatch
Life jackets
Etc

We have so many more things you're going to need ?

Hub caps and spare tire cover. Easier than painting the wheels and pretty cheap at $40. Gonna move the spare over to the other side soon.

CC: @WiskyDan That's another thing, if you decide to paint, pull the spare, paint it, and rotate your tires, using the spare for 1-by-1 painting to get all of it. Bring it over by me on the trailer, I've got an impact! 1-day project, make it a weekend with the Admiral, and you've got a launch right there too. Might not even need a jack, but we got that too!

added some solar led lights so i can see better to dock and night...

Replaced the winch strap (broke pulling up boat last week, enjoy my knot to make it work lol) aerator pump and live well pump, as well as aerator cover.

I’ve done the hub cap thing before so suggest if you really like them you buy a spare set which will allow you to easily replace them when they get lost on the road (usually after hitting a large pothole or speed bump). One way to reduce the chances of loosing a hub cap/rim cover is to glue them on with silicone or rubber cement.

Replaced the steering cable on my 2022 SX195. Finally be back on the water!

It broke on a 22?

yeah... hang around here and you'll never be done with your boat... here's a tip... don't look at the receipts put them in a folder and lock them away

Didnt break, but froze up. Below is my thread / rant

I was thinking about throwing a couple zip ties through just in case.

4.3 connect has been finicky for a while. Yesterday went out and it didn’t turn on at all, then no power to anything at the helm.

Found a bad main fuse, so replaced that and we are back in business.

Good to know. I’m going to order some and keep on the boat. Not sure if we even have spares from the factory.
