Re: R4 Trailer Bow Stop Position

Since we tow the R4 long distances several times a year and the R4 is so much heavier than my previous boat I was concerned. For my peace of mind, I took this issue straight down the rabbit hole to get comfortable with the matter. I visited the CAT scale at my local truck stop. What I found was with ...

Re: R7 acting a little weird

Silver bars maybe 1" wide 8" long where all the yellow wires terminate. Since it is your displays. I would check the ones behind the access panel in front of the cockpit dash first. I was surprised with mine that a boat with < 20hrs had so many loose connections. QC must have had the day off.

R4 Trailer Bow Stop Position

I am curious as to where people are positioning the "bow stop" on their trailers. My R4 came on a Heritage two axle trailer. The dealer set the bow stop such that when loaded, approximately 4-5" of the bunk boards extend behind the transom. The boat is far enough forward that I am unable to ...

2023 R4 Trim Tab Switch Location

I am looking to add Lenco Trim Tabs to my 2023 R4. Had these been factory installed where would the LED switch plate been installed? Pictures would be great. Thanks in advance!
