    Trim Backing Material

    Does anyone know what kind of material this is that is used as the backing material inside the carpet trim? Is it pvc or starboard or something else like that? It appears to be some sort of plastic material and it measures 1/8" thick by 1.5" wide. I need to get 20' of it. Not sure it's...

    Where can I find this connector?

    Can anyone tell me where I can buy this connector or what it is called? It is on a 2004 Tige boat. The handwritten number on it means nothing, I just wrote that on it myself to know which connector goes to which.

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    Yes, I was told by Blue Sea tech support that it's best to charge the house battery first because it will be the battery that drains more often. The start battery will only be used once when starting. Is it OK to go without the two 150 amp fuses between the batteries and ARC? I read in...

    Blue Sea Add a Battery

    I made this plan of how I am going to set up the Blue Sea add a battery in my Tige 2004 20v Switch. Can someone please look at it and tell me if they think everything looks good or of there is anything wrong in my plan? Thanks!

    Perfect Pass Restarting

    I have a 2004 Tige 20v Switch and I just installed Perfect Pass. It is working fine except that it restarts when I change gears from forward to reverse or reverse to forward, not every time, but sometimes, seems to happen more if I shift a bit more aggressively. Has anyone else had this happen...

    Transmission Spewing Water

    I took it out to the lake last weekend and confirmed no more leak now that I tightened down the collar on the dripless stuffing box, so that is definitely what the leak was. Now, I just hope I didn't make it too tight because I know it needs a little water to come through to keep it cool. I...

    Transmission Spewing Water

    ah, oh well. Maybe $9 more will get me a better one, but then again, probably not. So I went back and looked at the video again and notice something I did not notice the first time. It looks like the water is coming from further back than where I was focusing on. There is a rubber hose...

    Transmission Spewing Water

    Just checked, they aren’t loose. I checked the transmission fluid also and it’s still full. It was under pressure slightly because when I took the cap off it kind of made a noise like when you remove the lid on a soda pop can that was shook up, I mean just very slightly though. Is that normal?

    Transmission Spewing Water

    No, I will check them. But I can tell you, I ran it for about 35 min on fake lake and got no water in the bilge, water was coming out the exhaust pipes as it should from the hose water, but nothing leaked into the bilge. I didn’t think to engage the propeller and transmission on fake lake...

    Transmission Spewing Water

    That picture I just posted is of the front of the fly wheel. It is open. It looks like there use to be a rubber gasket covering it. Not sure if water could be coming out of here?

    Transmission Spewing Water

    I have a used Tige 2004 Switch V I just picked up and the bilge kept filling up with water too fast after only being out on the lake a short time. I took it to a shop to have it looked at and they said the packing in the prop shaft was leaking too much water so they fixed that, they also said...

    Fresh Air Intake Vents & Glove Box Drain Tube

    New owner of an old boat here. I am a first time boat owner and basically know nothing haha, but I am a quick study. I noticed there are two 3" ducts on my Tige 2004 20V Switch coming from the top of the center console down to under the floor, one on each side, so on the driver's side and...

    Bilge Blower Vent Duct

    Oh very nice, I did not know that aluminum does not conduct electricity. I thought it did. That is good to know. What I found in a Google search seemed to indicate that aluminum does conduct electricity while not as well as say copper, for example, it said it does conduct...but maybe it...

    Bilge Blower Vent Duct

    Hey man, while I appreciate your link, it could come without the attitude, that would even be better :) But at any rate, thank you for the link! By the way, I probably spent the better part of an hour or two researching on my own before I posted anything, so just saying...

    Bilge Blower Vent Duct

    Thanks for the reply! So, it does fit, I can clear that up because I already installed it. I just started poking around here on the forum and found a thread where a lot of people said not to use aluminum dryer vents in the bilge because they can conduct electricity and I was wondering if I...
