    VHF Antenna, what do you use?

    @Bennie The connection that the cable comes through was purchased at West Marine or can be found on the internet. It gives a finished look and prevents water from entering the hole. I also have a plastic clip at the in the back so when you lay down the antenna, it doe not rattle.

    Tullytown Cove, PA

    I'll have to come up that way this season. It's been a while since I have been on the Delaware River. I use the ramp at Neshaminy as it's wide and plenty of parking room.

    Tullytown Cove, PA

    Is there a land fill on the sides of the Tullytown Cove? Years ago there was a cove in that area North of the Neshaminy Park ramp that became a marina and had a land fill on the adjacent land. It was a huge party area until it got developed. I counted over 100 boats one Saturday. I haven't been...

    Changing out front Nav Light

    I changed mine out to the one used by @su laxplayer21 above from Amazon. It is really bright and was easy to install. Looks great.

    Guide-Ons Size For Trailer

    I have a 2010 AR 240. I put on 40" guide-ons a couple of years ago on the trailer. I believe I should have gotten the 60" or 75 " as the 40" is too low in the water when launching. What size are others using since I will be replacing them in the near future.

    MFI Trailer Bearing & Races

    Thanks for the reply @istdgm. I will probably do the same. Years ago I had a Chaparral boat and trailer and the bearings were the same. At that time, the bearings I got came from and auto parts store with a race which fit right in. I was never aware that their were 2 races available for the L...

    MFI Trailer Bearing & Races

    Thanks for the reply Speedling. I was trying to avoid taking any race out unless necessary. I always like to have bearings and races on hand in case in case of a problem. I usually replace the bearings and seals every 3 years. I thought maybe someone would have taken out the inter race and...

    MFI Trailer Bearing & Races

    There are 2 size races available for the inter bearing L 68149. One has an OD 2.327 and the other is OD 2.361. Does anyone one know which one is correct for the 2010 MFI trailer?

    AR240 vinyl seats coming apart

    I had the exact same tears as @motorboater on several cushions. The dealer had me take several pictures for him and got me new cushions under the yes warranty that I had at that time.

    Installation of DSC VHF radio to the stock GPS antenna

    That is a question that you will never get an exact answer. It is a line of site communication. Somewhere I read that under ideal conditions and depending how high your antenna is, figure 1 mile for every watt of power. That is probably based on open water. Boat to boat. Weather could effect the...

    Installation of DSC VHF radio to the stock GPS antenna

    The VHF radio has the GPS built into the radio. I was concerned that where I located it would interfere with the ability of the built in GPS to contact the satellites, but it works perfect. The radio is an Horizon 1700 with built in GPS. The picture shows the first radio I put in before I sold...

    Keep the mods coming......Living vicariously through many of you!

    Ronnie, Where did you find the wake board rack that swings around. I looked for one that does that plus one that might hold water skis.
