"Seat"??????????????????????????????????

Well, Must not have been too overly interested in answers. Oh well. Scott

Robert, I have the Side Shift stern thruster on our '14 Benny 2550 RCL. I have to say without a doubt, it's by far the best improvement in ANY slow speed/docking/trailer retrieval situation. I did the install myself and it was a kick in the butt to install. The remote/joy stick is totally...

Yep, Loading a boat on the trailer is different for each boat, trailer, ramp, and more. Some boats, including Pontoons and Tri-toons, will sit differently in the water. The way they float and or are influenced by even small gusts of wind can frustrate even veterans of boating while trying to...

Well boys and girls, I don't know how many or if ANY of you have ever priced any Sunbrella lately but I have a commercial compound walking foot sewing machine and dabble in heavy duty sewing and have purchased smaller batches of yards of Sunbrella and that stuff IS NOT CHEAP! It ranges anywhere...

LOHarris, Can you answer the questions above? Scott

Never heard of that but I've never heard of a lot of things that are on this planet. And I thought WE here in lake Havasu were the only ones with metals in our water, hmmmm. Scott

Well LOHarris, There's a few things we need to know here. 1. Is the boat in the water constantly and not trailered back and forth to home? 2. How old is the boat? And consequently, how old is the "sacrificial anode" or just plain Anode? Based on your statement "Timing of this problem...

Yeah, I should have figured there's be some sort of coating on those elevator doors. Otherwise there'd be hand and finger prints galore and it WOULD be a PITA to clean and keep clean. The "Mirror" finish you see is very, very nice and we constantly receive very nice comments. But, as you may...

That's what we have, a double bimini. And that setup, without a doubt, is OUTSTANDING in providing a considerable amount of "extra" shade. We wouldn't have it any other way. Scott

You are mostly correct here Sir. However, while "graining" is a form of *roughing* the surface, we're not talking massively deep grooves. In fact, the graining effect one sees in raw aluminum as it leaves the factory, primarily can't actually be felt with fingers. It's way more of a "seen", not...

The "grain" finish as stated earlier, is mostly done by machine at the factory prior to delivery to whatever kind of facility that uses it, like Bennington. To put anywhere near that same finish is without a doubt, one pain in the butt after the aluminum has been handled, formed, bent, welded...

Acid washing is ONE WAY to finish a pontoon and there are others. Most owners don't or won't go through other various methods of finishing or "refinishing" a toon simply because it's waaaaaay too much work and owners would rather play than work and, I don't blame them.. When we purchased our...

Well, I'm just a tad confused. In one thread you state you'd like a HARD TOP BIMINI (which for the most part, I have NEVER seen) and in this thread, you want an extension to your existing bimini. Scott

Weeeeelllll I wouldn't say this thread is PROMOTING side shift thrusters, not at all. The Side Shift thruster is but ONE of many ways to augment control of boat, specifically a pontoon/tri-toon in MANY slow or NO speed conditions. And without a doubt, those who have bit the bullet and installed...
