    Bad rear tire wear, what is going on?

    Yep these are all stock tires and agree they look like AT tires. The outsides are worn more than the middle or insides, and only the outsides have mild cupping. Max cold psi is 50 which is where I run them. They are Eco Trail ST tires and must just be junk. They don’t weigh anything when I...

    Bad rear tire wear, what is going on?

    I verify they are all at 50 ever trip. All 4 are wearing and have mild cupping on the outside. I’m beginning to think bad tires combined with trailer nose being too nose down. All wheels spin freely and bearings all feel good.

    Bad rear tire wear, what is going on?

    Quick update after in-depth inspection this morning. All 4 tires seem to be wearing on the outside of the tires with some mild constant cupping on the outside. Nothing is obviously out of alignment. Took lots of measurements and compared each side. My truck squats quite a bit so it rids...

    Bad rear tire wear, what is going on?

    I just towed about 350 miles to the beach and as soon as I parked I notice the tread on the rear wheels are completely worn out. The other side is not quite as bad. Anyone else experience this or know what it could be. Only about 1500 miles total on trailer. I don’t think the breaks are...

    2023 Gulf Coast Jet Boaters 3rd Annual Panama City Beach Florida Gathering July 19-22

    Take a look at the Windy App. It’s for sailers and show forecasted wind speed & direction, swells and duration of swells, tide cycles, rain forecast all in one screen. Very handy for determining comfort and/or safety same day and a few days out. SailFlow and Windfinder are others, but I like...

    One picture of your last outing.

    Wow those were some quick strikes, he was good and Pissed! :oops:

    One picture of your last outing.

    He looks to be injured in 3 places too, which maybe contributed to his rude aggressiveness behavior?

    One picture of your last outing.

    It would have been interesting to see if you shut down your engines (stopped all the noise and vibrations) if it would have calmed down and/or went on his way?

    2021 252SE Fishing Rod Holders Using Seat Receivers

    OH I see you must have a different tower, slightly small tower tubes than the 24/25x boats. Dam!!

    2021 252SE Fishing Rod Holders Using Seat Receivers

    Awesome thanks! So these 2" Dia tubes work on our 2.5" tower tubes?

    2021 252SE Fishing Rod Holders Using Seat Receivers

    Nice setup! Where did you get/find those Rocket Launchers that fit large dia tower tubs? I've been looking for them on and off for a few years now with no luck at all...

    255xd Any impeller upgrades? And cavitation issues.

    Wow, how many hours have you run to get to that point. Going to go take a closer look at mine now...

    Is Multiple starts normal? 255

    Mine does exactly the same thing especially in cold weather. Not worrying about it, it’s consistent with both engines so I figure it’s mainly due to the tight engines with less than 25 hours on them…

    2021 255XD head compartment holder

    Our 2022 came with the black floor shelf holder I think is what you are referring to, but not the net against the wall. Love the net holder idea….

    Ballast issues on 255xd

    It just reverses polarity to the pump to run it backwards. So you can test it by disconnecting the pump and jumping it straight to the battery in with neg to pos and Pos to neg. If it runs in one direction you can bet it will likely run in reverse so its likely a control module issue or...

    Keelguard help

    I had a fiberglass repair shop professionally install a full length 22' keel guard (off a 150' roll of the product) on our 2016 242x and to deal with the tight folds at the rear, due to the 2.5 to 3" inch keel molded into the back of the hull, the shop used epoxy to keep it from ungluing or...

    Ballast issues on 255xd

    This sounds like a classic sign you need to replace the impellor in the pump. The impellor also prevents water from back flowing into the bag when the boat is moving. Worn impellor will not work very efficiently but I've not really experienced it working one way only however I could see that...

    Graphics for 2022 255X models

    I was thinking about going to Will at JBP to see about creating some cool sea deck graphics for some added rub protection on the sides like some options on Scarabs.
