I had put mine under the seat bases. 2 on each side up front. I went with blue to go with the factory cupholder, side skirting lights, underwater lights, and bimini top lights. I only used them setting at the dock or setting at anchor on the bay or a canal cruise.

I figured out how the other half lives this past weekend. We had our 2nd annual Saginaw Bay power boat run in Caseville Michigan this weekend. I told my college roommate about it and he committed to bring his brand new Nortech 39' foot center console with quad 500R Mercury racing motors the...

My son got another fantastic opportunity to re-enact a Vietnam event in Indiana and this time he actually got to fly in a Huey helicopter. What happened to the days when us old guys were using sticks or cheap plastic guns to pay war in the neighborhood? HAHAHAH

Yeah, we had this 3 days ago in Mt Clemens. 3 people injured. Lucky it wasn't more. Fueling at fuel dock and rumor has it they didn't run the blower afterwards. Can't confirm that though

Glad you got seats all cleaned up. Starbright, 303 all make great products. Good luck with getting her all ship shape and enjoy the rest of the season with it!

My 18 year old daughter has always wanted to get a pick up truck. She was driving a 2016 Jeep Cherokee for the last 3 years come November (she turn 19 in August) . She saved her money and worked hard and today we came home with a new 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500. All paid for on her own. She's...

I was 12 years old when my dad had his 1st heart attack while duck hunting in a cornfield in 1983. I had gotten a Intellivsion game console for Xmas the year before. While my dad rode his stationary exercise bike for his rehab in the basement of our house, we'd play games for hours on end. B17...

Saw this photo on our Saginaw Bay site. Uggghhhh

Hmmm. Never had a problem with my factory installed underwater lights on the back of both tubes and side skirting LED lights in the 13 years I owned the boat before I sold it.

Do you have a similar one on the other side tucked away? Could be for options like LED side skirting wiring? I think that was about where the LED harness plugged into the main wiring harness.

I'm not familiar with your specific model, but I assume your anchor and ladder are up front? If so and if it was like my old 2011 RCW, my wave shield / wave tammer was riveted in and you'll have to drill them out to gain access to the bolts of your ladder and anchormate. Then replace the rivets.

Is this what you are looking for? Looks like the clear ring. https://www.ebay.com/itm/116514271198

While you don't see many on pontoon boats, but we had a couple of "skinny water" aluminum center consoles that we had our marina install nose cone / low water pickups on 70 / 90hp Johnson / mercury outboards. Probably not what you are looking for, but is always a option.

My factory Garmin was also mounted on the port toon which is odd because you typically want them mounted to the starboard side due to prop wash from a std rotation outboard. Mine was routed along with the factory underwater light wiring and zip tied once it went under the wave shield etc...

From what I understand they are closing 59 stores across 23 states, but the remaining brick and mortar stores will remain open and so will their online sales. Its a basically a major restructure of its business model. West Marine is not going out of business, but the company filed for Chapter...
