Yes I have had mine come on and it scared me good, def makes your heart race..didn't realize the amount of rain water that had collected, and a small leak in my livewell hose had some water trickling out...where was your water source?

Let me just put a plug in here for installing high water alarms...well worth the minimal effort it takes to install them. I'd rather have a heads up there's any issue, then find out it's to late and I'm in deep yogurt. I got this one and if you couldn't hear it your hearings completely shot...

I was thinking the same thing, most likely a thru hull or such. Missing pie plates, my guess is when your in the sinking situation the first thing Im gonna do is start popping plates to figure out the problem before we went under. I suspect they got lost in the wash/panic.

I have a 9.9 on my 1992 24 explorer and I have had to use it a few times worked great..next time I'm out I'll let you know what I get for speed..like a previous posted said your not gonna break any speed records.

Cut the caulk very carefully with a razor knife..I mean careful I about lost my finger with a dull knife this spring..two surgerys and lots of physical therapy, it will never be the same..okay I digress Cut, remove old caulk (acetone) cleans it up nicely, to get the last bits. Once done, boat...

Yeah that's what I was going to suggest or something along those lines...worth a shot

Humm maybe a better explanation or pictures I'm having a hard time making sense of what you got there? Is it from a grady? Are you making a new deck plate? What's the end goal other then a flush deck? I think I'm missing something

if I understand correctly, with the trim all the way down your going to be pushing the bow down, which in turns plows more water...what your looking for is the sweet spot in the middle where your up on plain and riding ontop of waves, to much or high and your going to start to porpoise. You will...

I just removed the same/similar fixture to replace with LED's. There were two small screws that held in the lens cap. They were located on the bottom lip. Once those were loose the lense and cap came off and gave me access to the two mounting screws on each side of the bulb that fixes the...

Yeah I got a pair of the 15ft tacos on my rig (24 Explorer).I was swinging both ways on which ones to get. I like the ruggedness of the wishbone mounted ones, and there deployment, looked hard at getting a pair. I opted for the taco collapsible since I trailer from time to time and have some low...

Looks great, I watched the video on youtube looked easy, what LED's did you go with what are your impressions of the top now that it's on? I think it looks good, I like that you went with the blue..nice work

I have mine mounted on the hardtop above the helm, to the front. I do get glare and have been on the fence since its old and want to replace. I have thought about this as well but haven't come up with a solution since there is a fair amount of bow glare. I certainly wound not mount on top of my...

Awsome...great idea, I don't have that room but if I did...nice work posting the video!

If it's been on boats for 1000's of years and they still put them on them. The old GPS's I wouldn't trust with my life. I replaced the azimuth digital compass that was 20 yrs old with a good Ritchie. Never thought about forgoing without one

Re: Sunday launch day pics..and this winters modifications l Ordered new LED floods, then decided to do the rest of the boat in LED's at the same time. FedEx should be dropping off today. :)

Not a snowballs chance in hell. I am a freak on how it's run and how it's taken care of. Think about the mentality of people driving rental cars, to the carpet the whole time. In-laws go for rides, I'm the captain, the wife never has asked to drive/dock and that's okay with me. On another note...

Looks good man it's coming along ! I too wanna see it with the top rigged

Now there are a few rods, still need a few more. looks good man I noticed your custom rod tree holders in another post. Enjoy the boat.

Wise decision

At 22 years I got nervous last year, the origional owner didn't keep up on things. Pulled the boat out and just the slightest pull on the hoses and the plastic thru hulls crumbled. That was it for me everything went to stainless all new hoses in the boat . I sleep better now, figured I was on...
