Ok, maiden voyage is over. Now for the questions of things I have found. First the dealer told me I need to remove the rear seat that is not hinged when I tow this. That would be everytime I use it. So I stow in in the "pop-up" room area, or in the back of my truck. Already seeing a scuff on one corner. Any suggestions as to secure this in it's place on the boat? Seems like a bad design to me. Also, I have this TENDENCY to trim the motor up (sometime out of the water) when I place my hand on the throttle. The trim button is right where my thumb rests. Ergonomically, its a great place, but not so much for me. The trim on this is SO QUIET that I don't realize what I doing until I here the sound of the prop slapping the water. Has any every add some kind of alarm to the circuit to inform that the trim is active? Also, my boat didn't come with a run strip, so after three times out I have had to replaced two snaps already, as a slight bump on the dock and they bend. Wondering if I can get the factory rubstrip installed, or if there is a good aftermarket suggestion. Many of the welds on the toons still has the slag or black carbon deposits. Has anyone found the best practice to remove these? I have played around some with the trim while at almost WOT and I really can't feel any difference. My last boat (Fourwinds 195 Sundowner) you could feel it smooth out and increase speed. Not feeling this here. However, this is my first Pontoon. Thanks for listening!
