Re: Cleaning non-skid fiberglass

This thread is a little old, but my non skid is white for the first time since I have owned the boat. Pressure washer.

Re: Hydraulic Swim Platform Not Working

Re: Hydraulic Swim Platform Not Working

Just a dumb question, but you did have the key in the run position didn’t you? It won’t work with the key off or in accessory.

Try Current Waterssports in Louisville, Ky. I had them order several for me. I believe they ranged from about 13-19 each.

Welcome aboard! Nice boat, but I'm a bit biased. Fellow KY boater here. Rough River with early and late season river boating thrown in. Louisville to Madison is fun.

Re: Don't forget to use your blower!

I turn it on as soon as I get to the dock and it stays on all day. The only exception is if we stop to swim. Then I turn it on as soon as we decide to head out. By the time everyone is loaded and the anchor is up, the coast is clear.

Re: Changing your New Generation VP impeller

Re: Changing your New Generation VP impeller

I use self modified vise grips for pinching off air lines at work. I can't see why these wouldn't work for clamping off the inlet hose during an impeller change. https://shop.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_12261.jpg https://www.harbor...
