Getting the boat ready for this summer list.

Post by Big Block Power »

Ok I thought my list was short but it's not. Thanks AJ!
I just wanted to post in here because there's not too many topics in here.So here is my boat to do list.

1 Replace broken wheel stud.
2 Install new rims and tires.
3 Program my Bluetooth sensors in the rims and see how bad that app is.
4 replace bunks or at least carpet
5 replace the 140 tstat to 160
6 install starboard leds in the blower vent
7 maybe get a amp and power up the bow speakers and a sub
8 change the fuel filter
9 make sure my tower fits.
10 buy a buffer.
11 install Hill Marine props

I'm sure there is something missing.

Sounds like about 45 minutes of work. You can get that all finished the morning of your first lake trip :D

6 install starboard leds in the blower vent


I'm sure there is something missing.
I was going to do the same.

Are you combo or just key on .. figuring a couple of led push lights shouldn't draw but would look great at night on the side beaming lightly through the side ducts.

Unless it looks like a nav light then I'm screwed 😂😂

Holy crap. That's dangerous. I wonder if you could find a locking pin of some kind for that. Or where the clip would go through it make the hole larger and put a lock through that. In Illinois I guess they are getting the winch handle stolen all the time, so everyone takes there handles off. I haven't seen it here but I don't go to big public ramps.
