    The Vexilar Alumaducer works as planned.

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

    Adding docking lights

    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...

    Adding docking lights

    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...

    Adding docking lights

    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...

    Vinyl Wrapping Panels

    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.

    Post a picture of your set up showing what you are looking for. Maybe there is an aftermarket equivalent replacement.

    Center bilge bilge pump

    I had the dealer replace my bilge pump when they had the boat torn apart to replace the center toon. Service manager suggested that because it's a real challenge to replace it with the boat fully assembled. 2017 23 RSB.

    Stereo Upgrade

    Haw! I went old school. Cut out a scrap of PVC trim on my table saw. Routed the roundover edge. Used a combination square and a utility knife to create the recess. Post a pic of what you eventually come up with on your new fangled printer gizmo. ;)

    Stereo Upgrade

    I very recently replaced my Kicker KMC100 with a Rockford Fosgate PMX-2. The head units are not close to the same shape. Had to fabricate a filler panel. Documented my install here Replacing Kicker head unit with Rockford Fosgate PMX-2

    Replacing Kicker head unit with Rockford Fosgate PMX-2

    Yes and yes! I really like it so far. (But haven't launched the boat yet so I've only listened to it on the trailer.)

    Replacing Kicker head unit with Rockford Fosgate PMX-2

    No, it works fine. Wife had occasional trouble pairing her phone to it so it frustrated her. I had trouble seeing the display in sunlight with polarized sunglasses so that frustrated me.

    Replacing Kicker head unit with Rockford Fosgate PMX-2

    I finished my install a week ago or so and want to provide some guidance if anyone wants to do what I did. My install was on a 2017 23RSB with the OEM Kicker KMC100. The old head unit came out easily. Start on the outside and carefully pry up the bezel. There are 4 screws holding the head...

    Confirmed I have a 52 gallon fuel tank

    Captain's Choice Marina in Leesville, SC (on Lake Murray) did the work themselves. They are top notch.

    helm gage light bulbs

    Please post a picture of the bulb you're looking for. If you can find a part number on it, that would really help.
