Getting the boat ready for this summer list.
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

12 install seadek if they ever let me order it.

6 install starboard leds in the blower vent
I'm sure there is something missing.
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

Re: Getting the boat ready for this summer list.
Last year someone still my swing away toung pin from a public boat launch and I didn’t catch it. Almost Lille’s me coming down a mountain. Thread under safety I think.

Re: Getting the boat ready for this summer list.
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.
