New owner and boater

[Shatty]

Hi guys. Just purchased a 22 195S in black brand new. Taking delivery within 2 weeks. I was reading the first post for new owners. Great writeup. I have driven a boat before and know the basics. What do I need to purchase for the boat for its first time in the water? I bought life jackets already. Bumpers? What size? Also is the 195S a 12v or 24v system?

Congrats on finding a boat.

Check with your dealer on what they include. Some include a "coast guard kit" in the prep. Some charge you prep and include zero extras.

195s is a 12v system.

We bought medium sized bumpers and hang one from the side cleat and will be trying the second one hanging from the tower this season. The clips we bought work great. Allow you to adjust their location on the rope and then can clip onto a cleat or onto the rope.

Also I read about the trailer roller that it scuffs up the boat. Which one should I replace it with? Will do at the dealer before I take it 700 miles home
