How does that speed compare to your former 2015 2375 RCW ESP with Verado 250?

Yes, and it only takes a few weeks. Has never been an issue for me.

I added an under deck LED light bar to both my former and current boats. I documented both installations here Oct 2023 Update: Added LED Bar Light for Docking The one on my former boat was 4320 lumens which was a bit of overkill. I went with a 2160 lumen model on the current boat and the light...

I acid wash annually with Napa's Aluminum Brightener Cleaner. Does a great job. I don't use a bucket and rag like Fire Up. I dilute it 1 part acid to 3 parts water in a 2 gallon garden pump sprayer. Rinse your trailer with fresh water before, during and after (especially if it's galvanized)...

Just curious, Dan. Where do you boat? Law enforcement on my local lake in SC have the opposite opinion, as do I. The more lights the better as long as others can still clearly see the red, green and white navigational lights. The red, green and white navigational lights on most boats are...

Great job on the installs and thanks so much for documenting your project so thoroughly for us.

If it's any help...last Fall I was quoted $11,000 to replace my center elliptical toon on my 2017 23RSB. That included material, labor and $2000 freight (ouch!). Thankfully my issue was ultimately covered by warranty.

A lot of you are aware the manufacturer of Simtex fabric used to say 303 Aerospace Protectant was not an approved product to be used on Simtex and using it could void the warranty. But I'm positive I read somewhere on this forum that Spalding now approves of 303 Aerospace Protectant on Simtex...

I replaced all my rocker switch covers on my last boat. (Look at post #3 in this thread for before and after shots. Switch Layout 2011 22SFI). I used New Wire marine and I am a very satisfied customer. They know everything about rocker switches and can supply just about anything you need...

See LaurencetheAdventurer's post #2 in this thread front bimini flew off Alternatively, some of us have drilled holes through the base brackets and added hitch pins to prevent the Bimini arms from detaching from the brackets. Search for "Bimini pins."

Great job. With all the issues with exposed rear mounted transducers, I wonder why through hull versions aren't more common.

Hang on. That is probably 24,000 lumens per light. If you are installing two of them and running them off the same switch, you are going to be drawing 12.6 or more amps. The rocker switch in the kit I saw on Amazon is clearly a 20 amp rocker, so that makes sense. I think you are going to...

I Googled it and see this light bar on Amazon. Can't find the wattage or the amp draw specified. But I did a generic Google search of "how many amps does a 24,000 lumen 12v led light bar draw" and the answer is 6.3 amps at 76 watts. Take that answer with a grain of salt, but it is probably...

As you probably know, relays are used to switch high-current loads using a low-current signal from a switch. How many amps do your new lights draw? Crawl under the console and read the specs on the back of the rocker switches. They will tell you how many amps the switch can support. As long...

I had my 2001 Benny professionally wrapped and it looked fantastic. They cut the vinyl to fit between the rails of the playpen. I loved it but there is one caveat -- if you tie up a lot (like we do), the vinyl inevitably gets nicked, dinged and cut. It's just a big vinyl bumper sticker.
