I orginally planned on only installing two, but now decided on 4 wakeboard tower speakers. I'm assuming I need an amp to push them, but is it absolutely necessary? I have no desire for loud music, just want to be able to hear them while sitting in our favorite cove watching the kiddos play in...
I have dual batteries on my boat (same exact ones, brand, size, etc, etc) tied into a perko selector switch. When I first got it, I asked how should I charge them and was told to use a dual bank charger but didn't see a reason to make an additional expense as I have battery tenders laying around...
Looking to install a set of speakers on my wakeboard tower. I'm not really interested in something loud, just want to hear some music as we sit on our favorite cove and enjoy the water and the kiddos playing. Nothing too expensive, wanting to stay around $300.00 or below for the pair.
Also, is...
I can't decide whether I want or need to add brakes to my second (front) axle on my tandem axle trailer. I have a 2009 Chap 236SSI. I'm guessing the total weight it about 6000K or so.
Your thoughts please?
What do you all have?
I know I should know this, but on disk brake calipers and when bleeding the brakes, do both bleeders have to be opened or will opening just one of them do the trick?
Thanks.
Hi, my boat trailer has surge disks on the rear axle and I'm considering adding the brakes to the front axle as well. The front axle has the bolt bracket already installed and ready to accept them. My question is how difficult of a job is it? Will I need to run the fluild lines from the actuator...
I've been searching high and low for the 'best' hull cleaner for water spots/stains. I always towel dry the boat after taking it out of the water, but those stubborn water stains seem to always stay. How can I make them disappear once and for all? I've read that Meguiars #47 is some good stuff...
How often to you change your engine and lower unit oil? I'm currently using volvo penta fully synthetic engine oil and lower unit lube in my 2005 5.0GL-E and SX-M sterndrive.
Manual says once a season and my dealer's service manager says to change it every 100hrs????
Your thoughts and...
I'm wanting to change the oil in my SX outdrive. I don't have the manual 'yet', but just hoping some one can lead me in the general direction in which I need to go.

My wife accidently sliced a little tear on the vinyl sun deck on our new boat. Has anyone used those vinyl repair kits before? I'd get it professionally done, but was told by my dealer to save the money and fix it myself as the orginal replacement is 400.00 without installation. Any...
Was on the lake this past weekend and my buddy wasn't able to save my new boat from a scuff mark on the bow from the dock as the water was way choppy. Any suggestions on how to remove it? Was thinking there may be a wax or cleaner that could work wonders. <br /><br />Thanks,,,,,
I know I saw it some where, but can someone post the way to determine the drop/rise receiver one needs in order to tow a level trailer. <br /><br />thanks,,,,
I own an '05 Caravelle 207 w/ volvo 220hp I/O my WOT is about 4700rpm running 50mph with GPS. I currently have a 14.3 X 21 aluminum prop on there. The stock prop is a 14 1/4 x 21 and the 14.3 found its way on there when my dealer bent it during my test drive. My question is would changing to a...
Lately when launching and retrieveing the boat due to the lakes low water levels, I have to really back my truck down in the water. I know/read/heard that submerging the trucks differential in water is bad for it as it can suck up water possibly causing problems. How frequently do you all...
What boating magazines do you all read/subscribe to? <br /><br />Also, I'm looking to purchase transom tie downs for my '05 Caravelle 207LS. Any suggestions? Also, what online stores do you all frequent?<br /><br />thanks,,,,
