    Yes, a ribbon delete post...but for the install, not the worthiness.

    We must be missing something, we shouldn't have to grind down tools on this. Maybe there is a thin walled socket set I can buy.

    Did anyone have an issue with the bottom inside bolt? I can't get any socket I have to fit in that spot, there is no outside clearance. I couldn't even get the open end of a box wrench in there.

    Crab Island Monday

    We're headed to Destin in late July, really contemplating towing the boat 12 hours, looks like a lot of fun. Most likely won't do that though.

    Marina Storage

    My slip only has decking on 1 side as well, I put my mooring cover on in under 5 minutes now. Like Julian said, start at the bow and roll back, snap the cover around the tower from inside the boat. The only difficult part is around the back, I do attach the snaps around the transom hooks. I...

    This issue sounds like a job for the resident jetboaters.net electrical engineer @Mainah

    2015 LTDS JL Audio Upgrade + Fishfinder Install

    When I've got my iPhone hooked up via USB and the system is set to iPod, and no music playing, I can hear a little fuzz sound in the speakers even when the volume is sort of low, maybe 20%. And it gets louder as I turn it up. I don't hear it when music is playing, although I think it would be...

    Detailed 2016 242 LS $1k Audio Upgrade

    The only wire I touched on the factory harness was the blue remote lead. I simply cut it and spliced in my new wire that I ran to 1 amp and then jumped that to the other amp. I was under the impression that the tweeters are direct to the factory amp, they do sound better once they get a little...

    Thought I'd chime in here because I did follow @Mainah's design fairly close. What I ended up with: 8 JL Audio MX650 1 JL Audio MX10IB3 150' knuconcepts 14ga speaker (about 15' too much even for all 8 speakers new runs) 25' knuconcepts 4ga black/red power/ground. 15' knuconcepts 12ga speaker...

    2016 Yamaha 242 Limited S Speaker Upgrade

    I have a MX10IB3 under my port seat as well. Right next to the table mount, no fitment issues.

    How much stereo is to much?

    Looks very cool, curious about how you will cover your boat? I don't see cockpit cover buttons.

    Good call, Dan would help out I'm sure. I've got him rotating my lift so I can back into my slip already.

    2015 LTDS JL Audio Upgrade + Fishfinder Install

    I'm only worried about dropping a tool in the lake. I can get the boat high enough to work under it easily. Once the wire is inside the engine bay, the rest is inside. Should be drilling 2 holes in the jet plate, 3 wire guides, feed the wire. So thats a drill, a socket, few box wrenches...

    2015 LTDS JL Audio Upgrade + Fishfinder Install

    Doesn't look like you block any water from existing the scupper, should that happen. Have to see if the connector will fit thru that scupper. Such a hassle to pull the boat out, thinking i'll inflate the tube, throw all my tools on that and just tie myself off to the boat while its on the...

    2015 LTDS JL Audio Upgrade + Fishfinder Install

    I updated the title because I just came across a good deal on a new Raymarine Dragonfly 4 Pro + navionics. So while I just dropped my boat back in, I think I'll be installing it this weekend or next. I saw @Bennie routed his transducer cable through the scupper hole, and then bolted the...

    1.8L Ribbon Delete, part numbers and information listed.

    Now I know why no one was understanding me. The bolts you removed, are actually nuts on mine engines and the bolts that connect to the engine, require hex stud bits, not another set of bolts. Odd that they are that different, but maybe not.

    1.8L Ribbon Delete, part numbers and information listed.

    But the 10mm bolts are the ones that take a hex head bit, not a box wrench, correct?
