    Difference with SVHO intercooler.

    I installed the SVHO intercooler on my SX192 a few years ago, it definitely helped with heat soak. Air temps here in AZ top out over 120* this time of year, so was looking for any help I could get. At first I just put in a Y-fitting, but a few days later added the extra pisser for optimum water...

    One picture of your last outing.

    Nice family photo! I always thought that pic looked like Hoover Dam. I don't get up to Lake Mead very often, so wasn't sure.

    Help Please- Drone Shopping

    I've had a Phantom 3 for a few years, if I was to purchase today I would go with the Mavic. My buddy has one and it's much more compact, making it easier to travel with.

    Replacement bimini top.....Overton’s??

    I had purchased just the canvas portion from Overton’s. However when it arrived, I discovered that the section that should fit around the center bar, wasn’t centered. Customer service said it was defective and would have happily sent me a replacement, but at that point I chose to go to a local shop.

    Best place to mount GoPro?

    No tower on mine, I've got the SX192. I just use the suction cup for the GoPro, and stick it near the tow rope hook. The GoPro has a pretty wide field of view, so everything in the rear gets recorded.

    trouble loading boat onto trailer

    You may need to go in a bit deeper. When the top of my trailer fenders meet the water, is when I'm good to launch/retrieve.

    Great! I thought the timing chain problem got sorted out on the 2016 models. :confused:
