    Deckboat V's Pontoon Boat

    Re: Deckboat V's Pontoon Boat Mine is not a speed demon by any means. Only opted for the 115hp but it is smooth and pulls tubes all day. Also nice to load her up with 12 people and still cruise just under 25mph. She runs about 29mph with the wife and I. Speed does cost more since you need...

    Fender Cleats installed

    First, I know they are intended to be installed on the top of the rail but that would not work for me. So I have to loop the rope an extra time but they work fine. First set is installed, I paid $17.99 each. Then I found a pair for $23 and the picture and manufacturer were both the same...

    Adjusting trim indacater

    Can I adjust the trim sensor on a 2008 BF115. The gauge works but when it is trimmed all the way down I would like the gauge to sit on the bottom line. Currently the gauge bottoms out before I trim the motor all the way down.

    Mounting Electronics W/O drilling Holes?
