Great boat, I used to have an older (first year production 2012) SX190 but the 2019 redesign is very impressive.Installed new rim/tire combo. Great deal from Overtons a few weeks ago. As well as installed the cobra jet fins and quick release transom tie down straps.View attachment 97232View attachment 97233View attachment 97234View attachment 97235View attachment 97236
You need one of these: Marinco 15A Pigtail Shore Power Adapter PlusInstalled this bad boy only to learn the hard way that shore power has a special type outlet

$$$ and they take up a lot of room on the boat. You're only charging batteries not supplying power to a cabin with galley and such.Oooh. Any real reason to not buy this and instead buy the whole extension?
If for some reason need to temporarily store in your driveway, or anywhere else (like for example when your rivers flood for two months strait, lol)Oooh. Any real reason to not buy this and instead buy the whole extension?
Absolutely.Ok. So using this adaptor plus a medium to heavy duty regular cord should be enough? Safe?

I removed the Hawkeye depth finder/alarm and moved the radio control from the right side to the left. I only did this to avoid drilling any new holes. If the radio control wasn't already there i would have put it as far right as humanly possible. So far it doesn't bother me where it is, it's easy to see and use, but it does stick out a fair amount. If there were no holes in the dash i would have mounted it somewhere above the cruise control.What would you differently with mounting? I am planning the same Echomap 43CV on my '18 SX195 with same dash layout as yours.
I am thinking mounting furthest to the right as possible.
Thanks again @swatski and others for the suggestions on sound issues. I have some material on the way that I will be applying, but I would like your help on the trailer jack too please. I will have to move the bow stop support back a few inches to make room for the larger Arc Trailer jack. I am guessing the best way to work on this is to get the boat off the trailer first?The fuel hatch seal is a must.
I find some very simple and easy/non-permanent ways of sound deadening working quite well, one of them is stuffing the rear compartments with memory foam (covering the deep end and the bulkhead dividers separating front of the engine bay). The idea is to cut off the noise coming out of the engine bay through the bulkheads - on both sides.
I do not have any pics, but will post. Stuffing the back of those storage compartments with memory foam does wonders to reducing noise! I do that whenever we don’t use ballast for wake surfing.
Here is an example of what memory foam looks like - mattress topper ($90? at Sam's club) use in the ski locker - this is more for holding spare fuel jags in place but same idea.
