You could add 3 feet of chain to that anchor before the rope begins to help lay it down. And at least 3:1 or more rope to depth.

In my car I put a bottle of Techron in the tank every oil change. My F150 is 5 years old now, only 150 hours though. I wonder if I should add a bottle to the tank when I get it out next week? I only put premium ethanol free gas in so I think that's "top tier" so maybe no need? Opinions?

I have a 2020 22SX. Anybody know the bulb size or socket for the overhead navigation light? The one on the canopy? Thank you.

I have a 22SX tritoon F150 with a 14.5X14 and I hit about 6K wide open with a few people. I think that would be a lot better on yours too.

My friend just got a 2024 SV model. His doors have these plastics that both hold the door open and make it easier to close. When closing it acts like a ramp to lift the door. Can this be added to my 2021 SSRXV?

My friend loves 2 features on my pontoon. The Seagrass flooring and the mooring cover clip on vs snaps. He is looking for used and does anybody know what years these were made an option or standard?

I fill up in the fall with premium at the gas station on the way to winter storage. In the spring I go from storage to the launch and don't usually have to add more for a few months so I'd say my gas is in there for 9 months. No issues yet.

Thanks Viking. I did a search and got some ideas. Not sure how to handle the underskin panels yet though. Fire Up that looks really cool, and I like the garage too.

I have a 2021 SSRXP Tritoon and didn't get any kind of lighting package but now wish I had. I am thinking of a rope light around the outside under the rail with an RGB controller. Also maybe another on the inside near the floor or seat edge, I'm not sure. The boat is in winter storage so I can't...

Have you tried looking at Yamaha Performance Bulletins? https://yamahaoutboards.com/en-us/home/owner-resources/all/performance-bulletins Thye show common boat/motor configurations, how they perform and with which prop. I found one "similar" to your setup...

I have a friend here in Illinois that just bought a place near Fort Meyer with dock. He wants to get a used pontoon and has been looking around here. Would a freshwater lake use intended boat be suitable in the ocean? Another friend said they used to be different but nowadays they can all go in...

Amazing transformation on BK's boat! Currently looking at Plasti Dip colors. Thanks.

My 22SSRXP is black with a silver stripe. Boring and there is at least 3 like it on the lake. I've been thinking I'd like to change the stripe color to something very distinctive. Maybe a neon color like green or orange. How would I do it? Masking and spraying would probably be easiest but kind...

This is great info and I am going to order a few gallons for my boat. Is this 303 "Fabric Guard" the right product? https://www.amazon.com/303-30607-Upholstery-Protector-Repellent/dp/B00KMYYQ5O/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=303&qid=1630680419&s=automotive&sr=1-8 Would it be OK on the Syntex...

I am in the same "boat". I bought a 2020 22SSRX, Yamaha 150 with SPS and extended aft deck. I want to handle my own in/out and maintenance. Looking at trailer websites they ask the length and weight. Is the length 22 or longer with the extended deck. What does it weigh? I am only moving to and...
