I want to add non-slip /anti-skid strips to the fenders on my trailer. I step on the fenders as I step into the boat. This is a double wheel trailer. The fenders are thick, strong metal that can easily hold my weight. I can find anti-skid tape strips at the hardware store. (see pictures) These...

Not that deep. Maybe I don't need to be concerned, probably just cosmetic. It there a way to touch them up just to look better?

@ Scott Did you add a tower? If so, what make and model? Can you post pictures?

There is no "suction". Water is coming out of your hose under pressure. It goes into the hose adapter/ motor flush (muffs) and into the bottom of your outdrive. The water has to travel up to where the impeller it. Maybe 2 ft. If the hose adapter does not make a good seal and squeeze the...

@ Scott my understanding is that the OMC outdrives had a problem with the gearsets they first tried changing the angle on the clutch dogs and then redesigned the shift cables. If you adjust the shift mechanism properly they can be fine boats. I have never heard anything bad about the hull or...

@ poconojoe Yes the tower manufactures to discuss what material and size for doublers some even provide a doubler kit. Can you explain how I drill test holes in the transom without going thru the outer skin? Do I drill from inside the boat? I do keep the bilge dry. I pull the plug after...

@ poconojoe All the sites for towers have mounting instructions that include reinforcing the hull when necessary. Re Dry rot, maybe I'm not using the correct term. I think it should just be called "rot". I did find a good article but would like to hear more from the members...

I have a 1992 Four Winns Horizon 200 that seems to be in great shape. I've had it 4 years and have done a fair amount of work on her: Rebuilt carb, fuel pump, fuel hoses, shift cables upholstery, trailer brakes and actuator, The outdrive, and engine seem to be in great shape, good compression...

I had a similar problem, melted an impeller due to it running dry. The cheap plastic hose adapter (muffs) did not squeeze hard enough to seal well and get the water up to the impeller. I switched to metal muffs and everything is fine now.

I have read that placing the rear mount for a wakeboard tower on the gunwale is stronger than mounting it on the side. I'd like to keep the tower out of the way of the bimini top so the side might be better for me. That is, as long as the side of the hull is strong enough. I know Four Winns are...

I hope this is not to much to ask. I'm trying to decide on a tower for a Four Winns Horizon 200. How the tower folds and where it sits on the boat is very important. That might be very hard to determine before I install it. So, If a few of you post pictures of your beautiful boats with the...

This is on a Four Winns Horizon 200 with a 5.8 V8. The foam in there now is starting to come off. I might as well replace it. It can't be very expensive. ( yea, I know. It's a BOAT!) Of course the objective of the foam is to reduce the sound of the motor, so I want to use the right foam. I...

You may never be able to find the name of the original color but that may not matter. I'd go to your local hardware store that carries paint. Get a few paint color samples. The little square things. Compare to your color to get close. Then go to either a local upholstery guy or a fabric supply...

Need advice on a tower for a 1992 Fourwinns Horizon 200. I only paid $4800 for the boat so I'm not going spend $200o on a tower. I did restore the boat and she is lookin good and running well!! Please share tower manufactures, models, websites, pictures etc. Thank you KM7

I know this was along time ago but what did you end up with? I'm in a similar situation. I bought a 92 Fourwinns Horizon 200 for $4800. I've redone all the upholstery and some engine/ carburetor / outdrive work and she runs perfectly. I don't think $2000 on a tower makes sense. Let me know...

Here is a site I found for towers: http://www.boardoutlets.com/wakeboard-towers What companies/websites have you found? What model boat do you have? I have a Horizon 200. I want to add a tower so lets compare notes KM7

I have dual batteries and a battery switch. I store the boat in the driveway during the winter. I charge the batteries every 4 months or so using an automated step down charger. It can start at 15, 10 or 2 amps and will automatically adjust the current as the battery charges. Should I remove...

I recently replaced 2 bearing buddys on my trailer. A few days later 1 had fallen off. I found it in the street and hammered it back in only to have it fall off again!!. I may have been to heavy with the hammer when I removed it. I will buy new ones but how can I be certain that they will stay...

I have a Four Winns Horizon 200. The Bimini top apparently had a piece that zipped onto the back of the main piece. I never had it and just noticed the zipper. Do any of you Four Winns owners have this piece? Can you show me what it looks like? Here is a picture of mine up. It is not a great...
