    Bow Fishing Platform For Q5 FS

    Has anyone made a fishing platform to drop into the bow area of a Q5? I thought that I read a while back that some one has made one. I would love to find out how it works and see pictures. What I would like to do is create a plywood platform to fill in the bow area. It would have a cut out for...

    Q5 sf Anchor Locker

    I am thinking of installing an anchor locker on my Q5. I think that the front of the bow just under the seat pad would be a good place. Has anyone installed one in this area? I am also looking for a suitable aftermarket pre-made compartment with a flush lid that would make a good locker. Does...

    q5I SF converting large rear compartment into a live well

    I was just thinking about converting the large compartment under the rear seat into a large live well. Has anyone done this? I would think that it would be quite simple by adding a pump and some hoses.

    Boat cover/tarp cleaning

    I have searched for this on all of the posts but could not find an answer. I just uncovered the boat today and found the tarp to be totally covered with mold/mildew on the inside.

    Does anyone have an hour meter installed?

    I am just wondering why Tahoe doesn't install hour meters on their boats. I bought my 2010 used and had to take it on faith that the boat only had 25 hours on the engine. I want to put a meter on mine just for my own accounting of hours. That way I get a good yardstick on how much I use the...

    Q5i anchor size question

    My question is what types and sizes of anchors are any of you Q5i owners are using? All I know is that the one that came with my used boat is not cutting the mustard. If I am lucky the anchor will dig into the soft bottom but most of the time it doesn't and won't hold the boat in rough seas. Any...

    Q5i trailer lights

    Well I just love my 2010 q5i s/f. but I am having trouble with the trailer lights. This boat was bought used with about 25 hours on the boat. Anyway, my problem is that the plug-ins for one of the brake lights and both yellow side lights will not stay plugged in. I guess I will have to replace...
