    New interior upholstery for my 08 sx230

    I have not. We decided to wait and glad I did. We really only have one bad spot. We decided to make a camper van out of a sprinter and that project has been eating my wallet. Hope to have it done in a few months though. Hell of a tow rig to take boat to lake! Please keep this updated who...

    DIY Steering Cable Luber

    1yr report after doing this. I am glad I did it, got me one more year out of my cables. I just checked them and they are a bit stiff. I pulled them to oil again, and they smoothed out some, but not like a new cable. i was putting around 70-80 psi and also grabbing the bucket end of cable and...

    Surprising water leak...

    I am having the same issue. Having all kinds of water leaks and this appears to be my last. Already fixed scupper plug, then removed rub rail and siliconed and re-sealed the two part hull about midship all the way around. When I launch, my swim deck is about 4 inches under water. I kept...

    DIY Steering Cable Luber

    I used about half a bottle of gear oil for 4 cables. It would have been a lot if it would push it up hill, that would have ran into the boat/ controls. Also, I run my boat in salt water. It was impressive how much water it pushed out along with contaminated oil/water. I would rather push...

    Throttle Dropping? Check here!

    Special thanks to @Speedling for this write up. Excellent. I modified just a bit. I had my roof replaced and saved the original copper valley pans. I cut small 1/4 inch wide strips couple inches long. I used it to wedge into controls, worked like a charm and I didn’t have to take...

    Here are picks how the bucket cables were done. @Julian if you want to add this link to the plastic bag tip for oiling. I put pics here since I oiled the steering as well. I placed a heavy duty trash bag with kitty litter to catch the oil as it came out. I worked the buckets/steering cables...

    DIY Steering Cable Luber

    Has anyone done this to throttle cables? Correction, I meant bucket cables. I took some pictures. I used the same size hose as the steering. added pressure with a compressor. 50psi on bucket cables, 70psi on steering. worked like a charm. all from inside the boat.

    FACTORY 6.5'' speaker holes pattern.

    Has anyone replaced the speakers in these boats that used the same screw holes as the originals? I hate making new holes, plugging old ones etc. Bought a set and they are not the same.
