I thought I had the support and filler cushions for this boat last year and have turned my house upside down looking for them. I lost, misplaced or never had them when I bought the boat. I'm blonde too. Looking for the bow support and filler cushions for our 2001 SR 230BR Signature. Any...

Since my boat is small enough, I am going to start waxing it myself this year and am going to buy a ShurHold Dual Action Polisher... http://shurhold.com/dual-action-polisher?utm_source=Shurhold.com&utm_campaign=bb4bcfa1bd-Newsletter_75_25_2010&utm_medium=email The question I have for the...

I just read the thread pertaining to batteries and the different types for marine purposes and searched around a bit looking for this answer. Question on all this then ... I have always had the batteries that came with the boat never understading all these "types" of marine batteries. Those...

Well ... My marina who winterized my boat had said they would pull the batteries and store them for me over the winter. As we start to thaw and melt here I was inside my boat the other day, looked in the engine compartment, and guess what was in there? :huh: Good guess! :smt038 I have...

I'm absolutely estatic! Last year the insurance on my boat cost nearly just over $500 through my auto insurance company - it was the cheapest quote I could get being my first year owning a boat in over 20 years. I just got a quote back from Sea Insure (Sea Tow) for $317! Coverage/Deductible...

Greetings. I have not been on this forum in a few months. One reason is that work has been very busy and we were out on Candlewood Lake in CT enjoying our first boating season as a family. Our girls (5 and 7 years old) have been having a blast and we have created some pretty cool memories as...

I went to use the bow filler cushion this past weekend and was perplexed as the cushion had snaps and didn't seem to fit in the open space on the bow. :huh: Are there any other 230 BR owners (or similar) who can help me with this setup or point me to a doc of some sort that describes the...

Okay. Here's a dumb question for most everyone but me. If I don't know, I ask. :grin: I have to remove some of the old swim platform step padding on my boat to replace it with newer padding that is a better fit. The instructions say to pull the padding up. Remove the PSA with mineral...

Okay. I diched my Yukon Denali XL as the gas was killing me using it for commuting (duh!) and I bought a small commuting car (Kia Soul - LOVE it!). Since we needed a tow vehicle to move the boat a dozen times a year, we traded my wife's Sienna in, and since she had to have the tow vehicle, I...

I have tried searching until my fingertips bled. I thought there was a thread somewhere in these forums about rules, instructions or a checklist for guests on your boat. It was regarding things everyone shared about some of the things told to guests before departing for the day. Does anyone...

Okay, this one has me and the Admiral a bit stumped and freaked out. We bought this boat back in December and splashed it the first week of April. Now that it's nice out and we are spending much more time in the boat, we are starting to use the Clarion stereo much more ... sort of. The radio...

Once I bought my boat last December and saw the swim platform and felt how slippery and uncomforatble it was standing, kneeling, lying, sitting and climbing back onto it, I knew I had to do something with it. My girls are, as of last week, 5 and 7 years old. I know for a fact that they will...

Ugh. I let my brother-in-law drive my boat over the weekend. He tells me all morning he wants to drive and how many boats he has driven in the past. I let him drive in the open water on our lake. In unknown waters (unknown to him), he quickly gets to 35 MPH and heads towards 2 small islands...

Hi... I read that I shouldn't use WD40 to lube the zippers on my camper top as it may/will stain the canvas. The camper top has never been used in the life of the boat and some of the zippers are stuck. What have you used to lube zippers on your canvas? Thanks in advance!

We are finally in the water and at the marina with our first new-to-us boat! We have been out 3 times thus far and had a nice lunch on the boat last Saturday on Candlewood Lake in CT. My wife and my 2 little princesses LOVE their new boat! It's going to be a great summer of making some priceless...

Being new to boating, I have a question regarding VHF radios. We will primarily boat on a freshwater lake (Candlewood Lake in CT) and I would like to carry a handheld VHF for emergencies and ensure it is a floating VHF in case it goes overboard. That said, I am looking here...

Question on this topic. What if your boat has never been named? We are going to name it in the next week for the first time even though it's a used boat and has never been named. Ceremony or no ceremony? :huh:
