    Bilge

    Hi Jeff, Thank you for your input. The dealer stated that normally on a two battery system to use say #1 battery left on so the Auto side of bilge can run if need be. But like I mentioned the Talons are wired on if the switch is in the on position for #1, #2 or both so the switch has to be off...

    Moved battery switch

    I got the switch box. Looked at the wiring to see how high I could go. I did not want to add wire. Traced the box minus the 1/4 " lip I think so it was snug and not fall through so you can screw it to the board. Cut an X or U of the fabric so the flap is on top inside when tucked in. Cut wood...

    Fresh water wash down.

    I live on the west coast in Florida and have the fishing package 2022 tri-toon. I looked at portable wash downs to install in the changing room area. The changing room area has none of that, just large area for storing. Love it! So after a lot of shopping I saw a DYI fresh water set up and I did...

    Moved battery switch

    When I got my new 2022 25L tri-toon I noticed when I opened the top/ changing room, water from due and rain drained right on the switch plus having to get in there every time was a hassle. I cut a hole on the side and moved my switch into a plastic box very accessible and protected. I love it...

    Proper phone charging at the helm...

    This what I got, mounted on right side and ran wire under console to USB I installed. This thing is tuff ( RAM ) and water proof. I love it! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084PZRSYF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Bilge

    Hello Has anyone had to get to the bilge on the center toon in back by gas tank? I have a new 2022 with a live well in back center above it. With the phone and video I see it down there but how in the world do you get to it? Problem is dealer installed Talons and in order for them to be off I...

    Prop type and size for Yamaha 300

    Wow who would think so many variables. It would be great to test them but like mentioned. I'm sure they will shrug it off and say that size that's on it is the correct one.... I have kept all of the post info, I will dial it in some how. I just don't want to spending $700 per prop just to test.

    Prop type and size for Yamaha 300

    Great Information! Thank you for the straight scoop. When we do the first trial with the boat before I take it home I am bringing two other guys, the rep and myself so that should give me an idea with some load.

    Prop type and size for Yamaha 300

    Thank you for the information! I am completely in the dark in this area and agree with you. They keep telling me engine all the way down so no cavitation and with this prop only loosing 1 mph. The props your looking at seem to be going for around $650. What Prop size and pitch would you...

    Prop type and size for Yamaha 300

    14.25 diameter 17 pitch is what is on there. I was hoping for 15.25 diameter. Yes your right. The way things are now with products/props I will try it and ask if they have the larger one they can bring if possible to switch out. 300 hp will have the torque. I will post my findings when we go for...

    Prop type and size for Yamaha 300

    All great points... I will keep you posted as to what happens. I did just order my Edson Power Knob for the stainless steel corvina wheel ( Brown ). I called them directly and gave them the size of the diameter of my wheel. 1.5 inches. That requires a special length band. They said they had one...

    Thank you! Good point about the back further down. I did also opt for the 53 gal gas tank to that will pull it down also. I guess I will see soon and make determinations then. I know the dealer will probably try to talk me out of any changes. He will want it gone..
