    Still Waiting ...

    I deal with a lot of capital purchases for work. Almost everything we ordered this year has had challenges with delivery. We order about 10 pickups/year. Still waiting on 8 of them and at least one from late last years order. Being told next years orders probably will have no guarantee of...

    Issues with bimini-mounted "all around white light"

    Your picture looks the same as mine. I assumed there was something missing because mine would lay down all the time as well. I had a backing the boat into the shop quick before it rains mishap (left the bimini in radar position) and bent the stick. Had to cut the mast in half to get it...

    Power-assist steering

    Power assist was on the boat when I bought it and I've been extremely impressed with it, effortless 1 finger steering at any speed or tubing maneuver. Now whenever I "build" a new boat on the website I click that option, and the ESP option, and a bunch of others :) I know it's easy to add all...

    Unhinged seat

    I have one in the corner of the rear L shaped lounge seat. It's over the batteries/Perko switches. Everything in that compartment is bolted down so I don't worry about things blowing out. I do worry driving home in the rain but tell myself "its a boat things should be OK getting wet" :) I...

    Who is going to be the first one??

    I must have been frozen under the rock when these came out this winter :) The wife made me quit looking at the brochures, apparently I get stupid ideas when I do.

    Thanks for the reviews, placed an order. Hope it gets here in time to put a few trips in before the water turns hard again.

    Garmin transducer 4 pin adapter cable?

    I'd buy one just to have on hand right now. Total pain in the rear to rewire.

    Garmin transducer 4 pin adapter cable?

    The existing wire bundle went in between a different set of floor joists/crossmembers that an angle iron stiffener in the rub rail blocked access to.

    Garmin transducer 4 pin adapter cable?

    After numerous phone calls and google searches I gave up finding the unicorn adapter. Spent 4 hours on Saturday fishing the new transducer cable to the helm. Took 2.5 hours to get the fish tape from a freshly drilled hole under the helm across the boat to the port side. Peeking between the...

    Compatibility of Mercury Verado Power Steering and Sea Star Hydraulic System?

    I've got a 2015 G ESP with a 250 verado and Sea star hydraulic steering. I've never had an issue in the 3 years I've owned the boat. Take it for what its worth but the dealer I bought from said the previous owner never had an issue either. They sold him the boat new and did all the service...

    Garmin transducer 4 pin adapter cable?

    Pic 5 is the original connector. Pics 3 and 4 are one half of that connection going to the chartplotter. The other half goes to what is left of the old transducer cable. The wire tore so I'm not sure if there was anything between the tear and the transducer or if the original TD had a...

    Garmin transducer 4 pin adapter cable?

    My transducer decided to see how deep the water was by sinking to the bottom of the lake and I need to replace it. The remaining cable had a sticker with a replacement part # (010-10249-20) so I ordered that part number from Cabelas. There is some type of extension or adapter cable coming out...
