    Replacing SX230 Stern Light with Innovative Lighting 512-1220-7 LED Plug-In Mount Stern Light

    I agree the full-length pole light stashed deep in a storage compartment is a pain to get at when you need it the most. But just FYI, Attwood and SeaSense both make telescoping LED sternlights that fit our existing stern light sockets. No modification is necessary with them and they are about...

    Dodge 1500 eco-diesel vs 2500 diesel.

    Yeah, I've been pulling boats and campers with a Ram/Cummins 2500 for almost 20 years. For towing, it can't be beat. Set the cruise control and the Cummins will just pull and pull without downshifting. Gotta love that. I did just make the switch to the Ram/EcoD 1500 this month. Towed the...

    Texoma July 23, 2016

    It was a great day and I wish I got there sooner. Initially the forecast was for the hottest day of the year but it turned out very nice. I don't know officially what it was, but it was certainly more pleasant than I expected. Great to see everybody again and @PEARCE 's new "cruizer" was...

    Gauge Ideas

    For a long time I've been kicking around the idea of trying the Lowrance LMF-200 multi-functions gauge to take the place of the crappy stock depthfinder. This is one gauge that can display many different things...

    303.. ruined my boat cover, how about yours?

    I'm on my 3rd OEM mooring cover in 10 years, so about 3 years per cover seems to be about the average cover lifetime to me. 1st cover I used no protectant. 2nd cover I used 3m waterproofing which helped repel water more, but didn't seem to affect the cover life one way or the other. In all...

    What's up with my Ram?

    I've had 3 consecutive Ram/Cummins trucks with about 150,000 miles each and no problems. I used to be a Ford truck guy but switched to Ram with the 2nd-gen body style, then a 3rd-gen and now driving a 4th-gen. I fully expect to be driving a 5th-gen Ram when they come out.

    Just bought the Polk PA D5000.5

    And make sure you change that ground wire all the way back to the battery. Car audio uses the metal frame of the car for ground so car audio ground wires are usually short. But marine audio needs a ground all the way back to the battery and it needs to be the same size (or larger) than the...

    Replacement Rocker Switches

    You should have bought them last year they were only $6. Wait til next year they will be $8 :confused: The different II & III & V style covers are all interchangeable on the same switch body. But it looks to me like the price is the same so why not get the one that matches. Buy it now...

    Completed New Price $25,000 OBO Garage kept low hours 06 SX230HO<TX>

    I'm shocked to see this for sale. Thought you'd keep her forever since she never ages! :D I agree with all the comments. I have personally seen this boat many times on and off the water. This has got to be the best maintained boat I have ever seen. Always looks brand new. Anybody who...

    I suggest keeping it. Those straps wear out faster than the cover does.

    Removing hydro turf grrrrrr!

    I've replaced mine multiple times. Haven't tried it in the cold but for me, using a pressure washer worked pretty good. But EVERYTHING gets wet so be prepared if you decide to go this route.

    Water in Oil

    @fairpilot I'm just curious, how many hours were on the engine that had the leaking manifold before you replaced it?

    2015 vs 2016 Vortex. Differences ?

    Chaparral doesn't have them because they use the BRP drivetrain. Likewise for any other brand/watercraft that uses the BRP jetdrive. I'm not positive, but I think Yamaha has a patent on the cleanout port and that's why nobody else has it. I'm not sure what you mean about a wood chip embedded...
