Well, this turned out to be simpler than expected. I bought the single color blue lights from Amazon that I linked above and they came in yesterday. When I removed the old lights today, I was pleasantly surprised to see they were also single color lights with just a red and black wire. Since...

My 2017 23RSB has RGB (multi-color) underwater transom lights. The LED's are failing and I want to replace them. They are out of warranty. Called the dealer and they can supply "Bennington" replacement lights for over $500 each or Atwood aftermarket lights for $267 each. That's more than I...

Bill N -- you have it but here is a little more detail. Vinyl repair double cut technique: Free hand cut replacement material a few inches larger than the damaged area. Lay the replacement piece over the damaged area. Use a fresh blade in a utility knife and cut through both the replacement...

And once you get the seat off, clean up the mating surfaces and lube them with Vaseline. Makes them turn super silky and lasts a long time. Grease would probably work too, but the risk of it melting and making a mess are the concern. Over the years I've found Vaseline to be the best lubricant...

I've used Napa Aluminum Brightener every year for years to acid wash my toons. I do this with the boat parked on the asphalt street in front of my house. Have never seen one iota of damage to the asphalt. You should rinse your trailer well with plain water before you begin so the driveway...

I have the exact same opinion and here is why: I love 303 Aerospace Protectant so I bought a gallon of their Fabric Guard for my cover. I didn't do a good job rationing it out as I applied it and ended up with one panel on the cover untreated. Tried to buy a quart more of the Fabric Guard...

Glad you got it sorted. Reading back through this thread, I think there was some confusion that took some folks down the wrong diagnostic path. To most of us, "cranking" means the starter is engaging the flywheel and moving the internal components of the engine. If your root cause was a...

Another vote here for the box anchor. We were hanging out in the most popular cove on our lake for an event and tied up with 5 other pontoons. Only one of them had an anchor out. I offered to deploy my small size box anchor but was told it wasn't necessary. Eventually 4 or 5 more boats...

OEM graphics for a 14 year old boat are going to be hard to come by. I suggest you look for a local company that makes decals and wraps vehicles. Those guys have the software to copy anything and make a high quality vinyl decal. They will also likely be able to install it professionally.

I have the same issue as Mr. CheezWhiz on my 2017 23RSB. The left side hinge screws have pulled out of the plywood. I've repaired it once myself by drilling through other, previously unused holes. But the screws pulled out again recently. The wood in that area is rotted so epoxy/larger holes...

You've got to tell us the back story on your boat name. JAMMIE DODGER

Lithium jump box and a charged cell phone are two must haves on my boat.

Lots of discussions about stereo upgrades over the years. I suggest you do a search to find relevant ones.

Ditto for me. I use a battery operated transfer pump from Amazon (TERA PUMP 5th Gen TRFA01 Fuel Transfer Pump) and have learned to insert it just to the first line molded onto the nozzle. Works flawlessly at that point.
