    Bilge pump replacement

    Any luck with this? I have the same concern. This summer will be the first time the boat will be slipped for the season. It will be left unattended for the week. I noticed when on the trailer the pump cycles on and off at a consistent interval when on automatic despite the boat not being in...

    Bouncy Shoreland'r Trailer? Carlisle Stands Behind Their Product

    My trailer has been sitting at one of shorelandr’s repair shops since March. I had the same issues with my trailer. Unfortunately for me, they show up until I towed the boat out from Utah. I called Carlisle and asked them as to why the tires were cupping I n the edges and bulge out from the...

    DSP Audio Tuning for Audio Geeks

    Is there enough room to add speakers in the coamings? I wonder if JL makes a component marine quality just to go in the captains area. Tweets in the tower and woofers on the floor. I suppose I can go 2 way's, but rather break it out.

    DSP Audio Tuning for Audio Geeks

    I get annoyed with the way this sound system is setup and I haven't run into the same problems you have with the remote. There are so many things to address. One day, I'll get bored and start looking into a complete overhaul. Right now, I'm trying to get the trailer right. I'm with you, the JL...

    Need (want?) a new pick up to tow

    The 6.2L is a great motor and pulls the boat well. 11.5:1 compression make it fun but requires higher octane. The truck has some identity issues. One part PU and one part sports car. It wasn't my first choice but it was on the lot and GM was running one their specials in February, so I was able...

    Need (want?) a new pick up to tow

    Sorry about that. Yes, correct. Max tow package. I picked up the heavy-half term from the country boys back in UT. I really wanted the 3.42 gears, mirrors and extra cooling. I liked the performance of the 6.2L getting up and down the mountains back west and the fuel ecomony back west was...

    Need (want?) a new pick up to tow

    Two years a go I went from a 02 Tahoe with 3.73 gears to a 17 GMC SLT with the heavy half-ton setup. Night and day. Unbelievable the gap between "capable of" and "engineered for". Pulled the boat from UT to PA this past summer. Very comfortable drive. Love it and will NEVER go back as long as I...

    Any northern Chesapeake bay members here??

    Ha! That's awesome. Next time I drop my kid off at school, I'll have to run up that way. I haven't been on the Delaware, but I hope to hit the canal and Chesapeake City.

    DSP Audio Tuning for Audio Geeks

    I love talking sound and I can't help to take a moment and throw in my two cents. Full disclosure, I haven't played with the sound system on our boat, yet. Even though it isn't comparing apples to apples, I have a background in live sound engineering and I completely understand everything you...

    Seadeck doesn’t dry out

    I installed Seadek and I love it! It was some work upfront, but I love the results. Even while we were living in UT, the carpet would seldom dry unless it was unsnapped and draped over the fence. The snaps would get hot as balls and it was a pain to clean, especially when our then pup would...

    Should this be covered by warranty?

    I hope you have success with your claim. I also have a gel coat issue. I was denied my claim. My cracking is right under the port bow jumpseat. I going to try again with a new dealership, now that I am out here.

    Any northern Chesapeake bay members here??

    Hey gang. Just moved back and looking to spend a lot of time on the bay this summer. I plan on launching from North East, MD and cruising all over the northern half of the bay and making my way down to meet up with family at Fairlee Creek. @Boyd95 do you raft up at Fairlee Creek and take...

    How do you beach?

    I also agree with the other boaters. I never beach. I put way too much money and time keeping this boat spotless, just to turnaround and scratch it up on a beach. Like @haknslash said, without the an outdrive, we can comfortably back in close to shore. I usually use a two anchor spread to keep...

    Want To Buy Trailer for 24" boat - Found

    Good to hear. Sounds like some of the earlier fender issues have been addressed. I like the built in 7 pin. Good luck and let us know how you like it.

    Newer 24ft boat in shorlander trailer must do mod!

    They are the OEM Carlisle tires. I tried reaching out to them, but I haven’t gotten a response yet.

    Sorry for derailing this thread. Has anyone experienced the cupping issue I mentioned above?

    Newer 24ft boat in shorlander trailer must do mod!

    I read a first hand report on the rescue effort. Volunteer spotters trying to triangulate their efforts over radios cause they could find them because of the darkness until someone with NV goggles was able to spot them. I can’t recount the details, but something like that. Wow. That would have...

    Newer 24ft boat in shorlander trailer must do mod!

    You were there for that Bear Lake incident? Around Memorial Day? Wow. My neighbor worked with the father. Ski Nautique boat trying to beat the storm back? Family died from hypothermia. I am glad to back. I grew up around the area, Wilmington to be exact. Miss the people, the restaurants and...

    Newbie in PA

    Wow, that’s good to know. My 1/2 Ton is rated for 12 towing and 18 combined, but I’ll never see that. I towed 10k just a handful of times while working on some landscaping projects around the house. After that, it is just the boat and utility trailer. I was taken back a bit when she suggested I...
