    2019 QX 25 Performance Issues

    I think more data points would be helpful: Is this new to you and this is how it always performed, or it previsouly was faster so when you stated "Currently" this is a new event? The QX is a heavy boat - I could not find anyone that listed their performance on LIST YOUR SPECS HERE thread...

    Thank you Scott! OK - you have me here - I have watched that side shift product for a few years - everyone that has it LOVES it. Agree, once you are going in - might as well get both stern & bow! I did not realize there was a remote - BONUS! I do stand by the center guides - they keep the...

    R Series vs RX new boat decision

    Generally speaking, more luxury models have a higher profit factor. That also means they get a larger discount!

    R Series vs RX new boat decision

    ON the build your Benny feature, the standard specs at the end can be copied and pasted and resorted to get a great comparison - I must have spent 40 hours building spreadsheets and studying the catalog - and, that resulted in almost a perfect Benny (they did not have Lillypad ladders when I...

    I saw something similar on an old trailer auto hitch design, did a bunch of research, then had them added to my trailer. The rear is just a few inches lower than the underside deck. The slop then allows for underside lights or winch, but more importantly the slanted horizontal guide sits right...

    Best Pontoon Anchor Winch 2026?

    I have never seen a Anchor Winch that can support a TriToon on a windy day. They don't work with Box Anchors - though I imagine you could configure it to let it down and bring it up if you are willing to connect / detach each use. I often use two box achors, have lost about 6 to tree stumps -...

    And if you frequent windy days, or want the BEST - toon loading guides prevent the front from being blown off the trailer while loading, especially on deep water ramps. ON Windy ways, this allows me to approach the trailer from any angle, get a pontoon slightly into the trailer, then use that...

    Stereo Upgrade - Amp & Sub: SubWoofer Design & Installation

    I suggest you summarize your system (amps and speakers, with model numbers and quantity), and then ask AI how much power it will use at various levels you expect to use. Without any specs, assuming a class D amp, 30% volume maybe 400w per hour, at 60% volume maybe 800w+ per hour (30-70 amps per...

    The details I could find suggested the 300 to 350 adds approximately 2.5 to 3" to the front to back measurement. Pictures I have

    Helm Master Power Switch

    Step 1 is to figure out if that Horn is on the master switch - if everything BUT the horn is going out, and the horn is on the master switch, then it seems you have something wrong with a distribution panel (though I have never seen what the master switch looks like - i assume a single power...

    Lithium Battery FYI

    This video is misleading, it does NOT accurately describe the current Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries used in modern RVs, boats, or standard drop-in applications. The video is an excellent safety analysis of a thermal runaway event, but it features a fundamentally different battery...

    Trailering

    Slanted interior guide rails plus corner vertical guides is the answer - rarely an issue and on windy days, a dramatic improvements (though still difficult). These horizontal guides help keep the front end from blowing off the trailer.

    Stereo Upgrade - Amp & Sub: SubWoofer Design & Installation

    Wire Gauge Selection (OFC vs. CCA) At a 20-foot distance, voltage drop becomes a significant factor. 4 AWG OFC (Recommended):Pure copper handles the current easily over 20 feet, keeping voltage drop well under the critical 0.5V threshold. This ensures your amplifier receives maximum voltage to...

    Blown fuse help

    You will have to figure out how to trace the lines (Multimeter), possibly the tower lights is the place to start and not require removing skirting or underbelly shields.
