    Whole Boat LED install

    I added white LEDs storage lights by tapping into the stock courtesy lights . I’m happy with the results. Wires are right there and it’s a quick mod.

    My Bearing Buddies are not holding grease!

    That's a great tip about buying the whole assembly. Put the new one on then rebuild the one you pulled for a spare.

    Huge Power Loss

    Check the spark plugs and make sure none are loose. I had a similar issue but it did not seem to be as bad as what you are experiencing and it was due to one plug not seated. Good luck!

    Remove Graphics Side logo Idea

    I noticed the difference while looking for some new decals and I thought it was because they were knockoffs and not from the manufacturer. Thanks for explaining.

    Port side pump issue

    I'll pull the pump and check things out and smooth it out. The dealer is almost 3 hrs away. Is the 4200 preferred over the 5200? The boat ran fine prior to the dealer pulling the pumps for the crack repairs. Does anyone know what the black sealant might be that is on there now? Thanks for the...

    Asbestos Abatement Experience?

    Be extremely careful how you take care of this especially if you will have any family members,employees,or consumers in the space. Take the time to learn the proper abatement and hire someone licensed to do it.

    Dragonfly 5 pro transducer cable splicing?

    I found these which look like they are well designed and if you get the multiple wire one there would be room for future wire runs for other mods. https://store.pyiinc.com/collections/cable-glands/products/cable-glands?variant=22581602945
