    How much for oil change?

    First 10 hour oil change is a lot more than oil and filter - the ECM is checked for fault codes, bearing grease, steering and bucket, plugs checked, etc.

    Wetsounds Sub AS-10 tuning

    @jacoviii suggests a good idea, but a lot of work that likely isn't necessary. I recommend you set the amps to high-pass at about 70-80Hz and the sub low-pass to just above the high-pass point. All of your stock speakers will do 80Hz without issue (excluding tweeters of course), so the sub only...

    What # gauge cables are battery cables?

    After you get that shiny new cable on there, put a small dollup (not too much as it can be messy and greasy) of good old fashioned petroleum jelly from your garage or bathroom cupboard over the exposed metal cable and posts - it will greatly reduce oxidation and rust all year. If you take the...

    Want a lot of bass for not a lot of money? Here is what I just discovered.

    You chose well though...bigger is usually better. :D I doubt you'll notice much difference in the sound output of the 8" speakers, but the tweeters will fill in more treble and you might perceive a loss of bass output as the highs will tend to balance out the bass. If you tune the bass/treble...

    Amp low-level inputs versus high-level inputs

    What he said - low levels are more desirable. And these outputs are after the signal has been tuned, but just before the amplifier stage, so all tuning is still fully functional. When you turn up the volume knob, the signal to the amps goes up to get more volume.

    Want a lot of bass for not a lot of money? Here is what I just discovered.

    Music and accuracy has been a passion of mine for many years, and speaker specs can be deceiving if not qualified. Without qualifying numbers and a graph, I'd say Kicker frequency response depth is not any better, probably less actually than more expensive brands. It's the fall off curve dB...

    Subwoofer - Is it worth it?

    That's a very subjective question and depnds on your needs. Some people hate subs, others love them. I'm in the middle and like subs for the home theater downstairs, but good towers for clean and accurate music upstairs. No subs in my truck for the same reason, the cabin is too small to need a...

    New AR190 - It takes 6K RPM to go 20mph?!

    Two inches wider, three inches longer than the 2018 hull.

    Show us what you see!!!

    Are they coated with something? Bare copper can leach molecules into food and lead to buildup in your system leading to poisonous levels. Copper cooking pots and pans typically have inner linings to prevent the copper leaching. Aluminum foil also should not be used regularly for wrapping foods...

    Replaced JBL head unit with Fusion...Questions...

    I have a Fusion unit in my old boat and it retains memory and presets without power. I think most marine units expect the battery power to be turned off when not in use, so it has internal memory backup or flash memory to retain settings. Even with the battery removed for the winter, the Fusion...

    Connext & tachometers not working

    Just a wild guess as we don't have our Yamaha yet, but I'd say something was missed when the battery switch was changed?

    New shorlandr trailer rust

    You can probably hit Home Depot and pick up some Rustoleum or similar rust inhibiting black paint to touch up those areas.

    2020 AR210 captains seat swivel

    I've sat on the 195s at the boat show, and it will swivel around to the 180 degree mark and lock there, but you need to slide the seat forward a bit before you swivel to get clearance from the starboard side. It's designed so you can swivel around to the cockpit table. Port seat does the same...

    Brand New AR210 - how many engine hours, 0 or ?

    Funny how they're planing out which means 5k RPM or better when we're supposed to take it easy on them for an hour+. I wonder if it's only new models/hulls they're testing or every single boat that comes out of the factory?

    Amateur Hour Here!

    I don't think so - the back of the bimini toward the stern can be adjusted slightly up/down with length adjustments for tow rope clearance, but I think that's it.

    Amateur Hour Here!

    Numbers 9 and 11 I really like. Same here for the two bucket seats - that's why they made the 195s model which we ordered and hope it comes in soon after this craziness dies down. :D

    Boats on order - staying with your plan?

    No I don't believe so, significant means something is noteworthy. The rate of infection, is noteworthy, but the rest of the stats are actually average and not alarming at all. I'm not trying to belittle those who have lost family or friends due to COVID-19, on the contrary. But to panic over the...

    Boats on order - staying with your plan?

    Nothing here yet I don't think...probably hoping for a quick resolution first. We're waiting for our boat to arrive so we might yet see some incentives.

    Boats on order - staying with your plan?

    Essentially unchanged numbers - look at those numbers under 65, half of those over 65. These are still typical numbers, nothing alarming or end of the world apocalyptic stats.

    Boats on order - staying with your plan?

    I don't think you're using the word "exponentially" correctly - it means more and more or faster and faster growth with an increasing rate. According to the current stats, numbers are slowing: Today USA 456,712 +21,785 16,231 +1,443 Yesterday USA 434,927 +31,935 14,788 +1,940 The...
