I have Progressive as well on a 2024 L series and haven't heard anything. just renewed a couple months ago. Having some background in the industry, I'd recommend calling. unlike cars where the VIN encodes every detail about the vehicle being covered, boat are essentially all manual, and the...

i don't have that brand of inflatable float pad, but have that exact blower for the same reason... and found it works well for inflating tube and our pad... i can't remember what size adapter i used, but it came with the blower... wish i could be more help...

one more important question.... is that with the bimini deployed or stored...

i hope you can find a strong enough mount for that bad boy

we did something similar last year for christmas in July... a note: watch your battery, it can drain fast if you shut down the motor (alternator) get a pure sine wave inverter... LED lights will generally flicker a lot with a cheaper inverter

i actually just picked one up yesterday. now i need to rig it up on the boat. I'll share pics when i get to it later this month if anyone is interested...

i do the same actually.... for me its the time between uses that i need to stay topped up. i have middle toon storage and a bilge pump that can drain things when i get a lot of rain, and/or don't get out on the water frequently enough...

thanks! no power at my dock, and we are only able to make it out on weekends, and not every weekend... i like the extra peace of mind charging....

any recommendations on chargers/maintainers that run off a small solar bank?

awesome suggestion... thanks! i just need to make sure we're never "that guy" driving around using dock lights like headlights... :rolleyes: my family still think the boat is a car... (not boat of car... that's a song from They Might Be Giants, lol)

i carry a deck brush onboard all the time to clean things off without getting wet, lol...

some pics/video while running normal/turning would maybe help too? tough to say, but i'd bet you are mounted too high.... that said, trimming down while turning in a pontoon is pretty normal or you'll ventilate/blowout the prop. I haven't heard of overheating in the process till now though...

I think the too high mounting is an issue probably. a couple pics will help. that said, most motors come in a regular and long shaft model... based on this comment, your dealer may not have used the right lower unit...

you mean 5 days until I'm looking forward to next season? :p

couple thoughts... i'd highly recommend having one battery be a starting battery and the other a deep cycle to run at anchor. the other suggestion (i'm currently assembling myself), would be to grab something like a cheap 25W solar panel from harbor freight, and a solar charge regulator...
