    SideShift bow thruster

    The isolator should not come off the windless feed if the windless cable currently comes from the Start Bat. Your adding a Bat for the thruster, so the Isolator should come from the Alternator to a 2 bank isolator, and then one lead goes to the Start Bat and other goes to House Bat. Using a...

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Trying to figure out total length on the trailer was an issue but many calls and think it comes to 33ft. Transom to bow is 25ft 6 in Trailer is 28ft so tongue should be 2.5ft Boat with motors is 30.5ft Its only called a 280 because if you count the swim platform and that comes out to 27.5ft
