I would need to take a closer look to confirm it but I cut the plates to just fit in the space and wedge back toward the bow. Then I placed one screw thru the bottom edge into the plywood shelf it sits on. I am traveling on business in Asia until the end of the month and won't be doing much...

I'll try to insert a few pictures of my installation so you can see how it looks. The speakers are not that obvious since they are up front in the storage pocket. I have included a closeup of one of the speakers and another not so good photo of the LED at the opposite side of the pocket. Hope...

I had the same problem and installed a pair of Polk 401 speakers on either side in the front of the storage pockets. There is enough room to install a plywood plate to hold the speakers. I covered the plates with a carpet as close to the existing that I could find and centered the speakers in...

I used the Plastidip on several areas where the backing was turning to powder last year. Used it all year with no problems and it looked great this year. I treated more areas this year with two coats that I just painted on as I poured the black goop out of the can. Used a wire brush to take off...

We have the 200 Select and really like the combination. The engine has plenty of power and the BIII is great from the hole and for maneuvering - especially in reverse. Everyone says bigger is better but this combination has worked great for us with the boat loaded with adults or pulling...

I used the PlastiDip from Home Depot also at the start of the season. It really was the cheapest, quickest, and easiest solution for my carpets that were beginning to shed the black powder. I wire brushed the loose stuff and used foam brushes to "paint" the backsides in those spots. The black...

Try Cabelos. I got a replacement for my ShoreLand'r trailer there last year. They carry Dutton-Lainson and several others. http://www.cabelas.com/ and search for trailer jack. The Dutton works great.

I have Perfect Pass on my 200 Select and really do like it. I've tried pulling someone without it, and it's no contest as to which way is the best if your going to maintain constant speed in the turns.

There are numerous threads on the site about repairing and/or replacing carpet when the backing goes away - usaully long before the carpet does. I repaired several areas on my 200 Select this season just to see how I would like it. I used black PlastiDip from Home Depot - I just painted it on...

Thanks for that. I've already forwarded it on to family and friends.

I would definitely suggest you check the existing threads on carpet backing repairs. I re-did my carpets this year because of the good ole black powder problem and so far am very pleased with the results. Several materials have been used successfully according to the threads, but I used...

Most likely just a bad connection at the bulb itself. Remove the cover and check the contact.

I changed mine this year with 160 hours on it and it was beginning to break down - it had even lost a few small chinks. I had almost convinced myself to wait another season but I'm glad I went ahead and did it once I saw it. The job itself is not hard - you just have to reach down so low to get...

For that price I can sell you the switches from my boat.
