I can second that about getting some sound into the helm area! Its the only way you will be able to clearly hear music at cruise. The box speakers I just put in are WM brand but increase the volume for the capt x3. In regards to the wm speakers, I used them on a previous boat with good...

This past weekend I just ran new speaker cables to (2) new locations in my boat that sound very similiar to the locations your describing. The speakers will be located directly outside of where captain and passengers feet would be if they are sitting in the helm chairs. Before starting any...

Dont forget Bootle Bay, West End (55mi from PB) if your looking for a relaxed, fishing oriented guy-type trip for the least amount of $$. Not so much the place to take the family unless they love to fish and dive as much as you. It is a reasonable run to the corner for tuna and what I consider...

You will want to be aware of what equipment is covered by your policy. it is my understanding that most equipment that can be removed will not be covered in the event of theft if it is left on the boat. This is not only fishing equipment but may include things like non-flush mount electronics...

Just like Gradyfish said a wire puller is worth its weight in gold (and time saved) a cheap alternative is just the semi-flexible all purpors wire that you can find in the hardware section at any HD or Lowes type store. Rolls of 150' are about $8 and I just throw it away after each use and...

There are only a few things to keep in mind for the 2nd bilge pump..... -You will definitely want a completely independent system so an additional thru-hull is necessary should you require the pumping capacity of both pumps simultaneously -Manual/Auto switched wiring should be run to the helm...

Any thoughts on the oceanLED amphibians? I am considering a pair of the A6 lights.

el jefe, Price and usage aside the term cheap may not be correct. I was referring to the amount of heat generated and the way they seal together and to the boat. The connections were done properly and mine functioned fine and had lasted 11 years. Given that my boat is significantly...

This is where I purchased the lights, the customer service is exceptional. http://www.cbconcept.com/led-166warmwhi ... 1-1-1.aspx When you receive the lights you will want to do your own "sealing" of the connections for extended longevity. Under $40 dollars total for everything shipped...

Last night I was able to install the Blue LED rope lighting under the gunwale on both sides of my 208. Let me tell you, these LIGHT UP the cockpit a brillient blue. It looks great and was VERY easy to install. The LED ropes are directional lights moulded inside thier flexible casing so...

My LED ropes should be here in the next few days along with the northstar fuel monitor. One or the other will be installed by this weekend, the rest will have to wait since the weather is looking excellent to get offshore both days. I'll follow-up with pictures shortly thereafter.

Pictures as promised......not my truck but a very real fear for all trailerboaters.

Welcome to the board btw!

Both are great boats, models that GW produced for quite some time. Size is a matter of preference, restricted by intended usage, towing capacity or slip space. The engines will both be a wild card, strong cores but only to the degree by which they have been maintained. Hours will tell one...

If those speakers are driven by an external amp you may need to adjust the output level (either on the amp itself of in some of the more pricey head units).

Your description regarding the use of many smaller leds vs a few much larger diodes explains alot. For my purposes slightly less light is fine, battery power is limited and I don't plan on carrying a gen with me unless one of my fishing buddies volunteers his. Initially I am going to install...

Since LED lighting seems to be a hot topic spread throughout a few different threads I wanted to get recommendations, experiences and most importantly pictures of the LED lighting you have installed or seen in person. Please include the Mfgr and Model in your posts. Everyone loves...

I have noticed that Blue always seems to transmit the best through water. White reflects off of suspended particles and green doesn't carry as well. Starting with blue underwater lights will mean carrying that thru to the indirect cockpit lighting since I dont want an "ambulance" theme.

The blue-seas stuff is nice, may go the same route but definitely not to the E-Box. Without a dedicated chase its alot more wires to run in the aluminum.
