Long story short - I have not. I was able to revive my lead acid batteries with a new smart charger, but will likely need to make a change at the end of this season. I've researched extensively issue #1. Food for thought: if your starboard engine battery bank is setting off low voltage alarms...

Looks like you've done this before?! You're right. All that light was really nice.

My guess is you used a stud framed wall with a footer/foundation below grade. Mine is a post framed building with posts going below the frost line sitting on concrete pads. Different ways to skin a cat. Your method potentially will hold up better in the long run. When I'm 90-100, I might need to...

On the day of the lift I had 10. On the framing days it was me and up to 2 others. Usually high school kids. My brother was going to be with me for the better part of the week, but shredded his shoulder 2 weeks before. Yes. Weather was a factor planning. Thankfully ma nature cut me a break.

I would have enjoyed the challenge if I had more time and manpower. It was a grueling week and I probably have another 30 hours worth of work. Thankfully most of it is much easier than the 1st 80 hours.

I wished it was that easy. It was moved in ⅜" increments to 40". I'll let you do the math on the number of steps!:)

Double ram bottle jacks. If anyone needs 2 ton bottle jacks, let me know. I've got a couple.;)

My boat has come full circle in the past 3 years. When I bought the boat 3 years ago, it had the hardtop. My garage only had a 10' door, so it had to come off. I hated to do it and was chastised for the move, but it had to be done. Thanks to a generous forum member, I was gifted a full Bimini...

Looks amazing. I have wondered how many times you can polish that deep without going through the gel coat. Hopefully I never find out! On a tangent, what do you all use to cut salt/mineral deposits off the hull before waxing? I thought I had it stripped with Dawn, only to see water spots later...

I've tried to adjust it to do the same thing, but it won't. I wonder if it once had a spring that is no more.

Do remember which one you bought? I was hoping this one was friction or spring/tooth interlock type set up that would enable me to simply lift or lower it. That appears to not be the case. The base on the factory unit is pathetically small. Because it can move so easily, and wouldn't surprise me...

I figured something had to be missing. It didn't make sense to need tools to raise or lower a light mounted on top of a hardtop.

I agree 100%. However you can wish for a fix in one hand and... you know how the rest goes. I paid a lot of money for my f150. The build quality is atrocious, but it is still a better performing truck in most categories that matter to me then everything else out there. Ford took care of some of...

While it is irritating to pay top $ for quality and not not get quality or a resolution, there are some easy fixes for your ailments. The issue you are seeing with the insert likely has something to do with poor maintenance of tolerances during the build process. They won't get fixed because it...

Make sure it's galvanized, or you will be replacing that too in short order. Likely a little light for a major wreck where the hitch comes uncoupled, but if you hitch your trailer correctly, you'll never need it.

The Voyager doesn't have the biggest cabin. Most portable household AC units are large and heavy. I've wondered how well one of these would work and if they are reliable. Available to run on or off a battery...

The 275 and 270 use what is or what is nearly the same hull. There have been a number of complaints about the 270 hull doing things like you have mentioned and worse. Here are my $0.02 from 2.5 years of experience: The hull is a bit fickle. If it isn't loaded or trimmed right, you will...

If you liked how the boat ran with 225 Yamahas, you will miss nothing with 200 Merc v6s. The 225 Yamaha was not known to be a strong performer, whereas the 200 Mercs will make at least as much power but drop your transom weight by 250 lbs. Be sure to spring for the Merc Eco Enertia props. Well...

Does weather often permit you to fast cruise at 45 mph? Do you have the need? Correctly propped with Merc 300s you will have a 60 mph boat. No Grady from the factory is that fast. While it sounds impressive, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable running a boat designed to cruise at 30 mph that fast...
