Just changed mine. All stainless now and heavy duty. I’ll post itHave a complete tool set to include two large wrenches for the latch handles when they spin freely on you as you try to lock the hatch after opening it! Did it sound like that happened to me?
LmaooOh and a sharp knife so when you suck up the dock line into your intake, you can cut the rope as it will be too tight to loosen. Don't ask!
Dixie H - Brand New 2020 FSH 210 Owner here. I appreciate all of input and knowledge shared in the forum. I took my boat out for watersports (wake boarding and tubing) this weekend and i have to say the travel during low speeds is pretty tough to handle while managing three kids reading to get in the water and under tow. Do you feel that the Cobra Jet add ons made a big difference for general steering and control at idle or low speeds? Thanks in advance.I would recommend going over the boat top to keel. Nut and bolt check, check throttle throw. I second the trim tabs. I also went with Cobra Jet Steering, made a world of difference but I recommend running it without first. I also recommend a built in VHF if you’re around Miami.
Trick is that these boats need power to steer. You can use the no-wake but you still want to add some power for steering. Cobra's do help with tubing and sports since they help the boat to track better similar to the articulating keel.Dixie H - Brand New 2020 FSH 210 Owner here.

You can't really "bow up". Fully retracted is the same as not having them. When they are engaged they are going to push the bow down. Where they come in handy is leveling the boat ride and dealing with swells. (Auto leveling system.)Re the Lectro Tabs - has anyone used them to bow up higher at slow speeds for more wake?
