I had water on top of my clean out plugs also. It must be from the wave that hits when you stop. I was just looking for a good place to mount the fire extinguisher yesterday. I might glue the bracket just inside the door to the left. Let me know if you find a better spot.
How does yours fit, Davis? I have seen some people saying they didn't exactly get the fit that they wanted with the regular standard Stoltz and they were ordering the middle piece and ends separately and it looked like a better fit. Are you happy with just the standard three inch? Can you provide any pictures? I definitely plan to show up with my new roller in hand when I pick up the boat so I can swap it right after the initial launch, just still a bit undecided on whether to just buy the 3" or get it in separate pieces for a perfect fit..
The newer 3.5" roller from Stoltz is supposed to be for Shorelander trailers. However the stock plastic roller measures wider at 3.6" so there will be a little gap in between the metal ears. The profile is also different than the 4" Ultimate. Either roller would work fine on these boats. I did like most and just bought the 4" Ultimate. I trimmed the ends of the roller for a perfect 3.6" fit. A little more info earlier in the thread
I actually went with the 4 inch recommended by Malibu Dan. I used a scissor car jack with a towel on each side to bend it a little bit so the 4 inch would work. I just dropped my boat as my storage space yesterday but will try to post some pics soon.
Just stopped and took a few pictures.
LMAO, reading the post I was think "oh no, what is it going to be? 'Dirty deeds'? 'hell's bells'? or 'highway to hell? lol. Guess I've a sick mind.
Water on top of the clean out plug is normal as waves wash up on the back platform and water gets in the hatch.
My experience with both this Yami and past boats was I would let them idle/warm up at least a few minutes before engaging. I guess I have been so paranoid of it dying around the launch surrounded by other boats.. if I have the time and no pressure to get my trailer out of the way I will let it idle for awhile... if heavy launch traffic I will let it idle and pull it off the trailer with mooring rope to the dock and tie off letting it idle more... especially with how cool it has been here lately...
Okay thank you, it just sounds like I need to let it warm up more if your not experiencing a similar issue. #warmweatherboaterproblem.
So which size is this one? Seems to fit fine. Just moved my boat and I bet the dealer had in it and out of the water twice and it already has a mark on it from the roller.
I back the boat down the just far enough so the boat trailer tongue is not in the water. Then I hop out to release the winch and safety chain. I hop in the boat, start it and let it warm up then signal my wife to back down a few more feet so the boat lifts up and drive it off. Then my wife parks and mets me at the dock.
That's the 4 inch one.
