    Ball & Socket Deck Mount insert and bimini pole velcro

    2004 Sundeck 220. Guest "helped" me put away bimini and popped the black nylon insert out of the middle socket deck mount on back. Where to find a replacement insert of the entire deck mount that is IDENTICAL. Is this Taylor Made or something like this on ebay...

    harbor freight polisher proper pad, bonnet sequence/order

    Don't find anything on this. New polisher. I have the velcro backing disc, foam pad and a couple bonnets (terry and wool) that came with this unit. Do i put on my starbrite marine polish with ptef with the foam pad and remove it with terry? The instructions say to do this so what's the wool...

    Slip or in/out service

    Hey, nobody has mentioned corrosion here? I'm no expert and went with stack because of all the gunk and corrosion that I *thought* I had seen on friends slipped boats. Maybe I like the clean aspect of dry because I haven't yet seen the fork soot everyone talks about. Nor the hull buildup...

    220 Sundeck Thread - Questions and Answers

    Bow ladder is overrated in my opinion. Granted I have 2004 220 and perhaps the design has changed, but it seems flawed. The darn thing doesn't come straight down or out from the hull but rather tips in toward the hull. Thus you're leaning back a tad when trying to get up it. And even worse...

    Sundeck head storage mods?

    Thanks both. Will come up with something shelving related... don't want to mess up the interior in there so it may need to be standalone. Perhaps a disco ball is a better idea for the space. PC, I'm OK with the power for now. Kids are still small. I feel I would like alot more... when...

    Sundeck head storage mods?

    Seems my 220 Q&A post can't be found, odd. I'll post here and have a question on head storage. I don't see this request or mod anywhere, including google search. We bought our 220 thinking my family, all women, would use the head. It was a must have. They don't use it, actually get a kick out...

    220 Sundeck Thread - Questions and Answers

    A question on head storage. I don't see this request or mod anywhere so thought I've give it a go here. We bought our 220 thinking my family, all women, would use the head. It was a must have. They don't use it, actually get a kick out of going commando on an island. We use it for storage...

    cleaning UNDER carpet - lazy way

    Looking for your thoughts. Unsnapped and cleaned carpet at home. Before I put it back in I notice quite a bit of rubber backing bits (wet backing or heat causes small bits to stick to deck) and debris, along with other debris from what had been the sides or edges of the carpet within the boat...

    Bimini top base/anchor pin

    Sweet guys, thanks. I called into Great lakes today for the canvas snap tool ironically and left a VM... will just add to the order. $8 is rape but I guess that's better than going with generic like this, although they're $6. I'd be dead man walking without my bimini it's so hot here in the...

    Bimini top base/anchor pin

    Is this called a clevis pin? I've got one coming apart. The pin is threaded and seems to screw into a plastic cap (not too secure or tight over time i'd guess) and the cap is then attached with a small wire to presumably the mounting screw underneath. This is the base/anchor channel by the...

    Safe to go WOT?

    I thought a blowout was what happens when you get the mechanics bill. Requires changing the drawers? And sometimes makes you palpitate. Good input folks. I just didn't want to introduce too much excessive wear or tear if winding it up. The 4800rpm is a good guide. What would happen if you...

    Safe to go WOT?

    Don't know if this belongs here or Gas/Engine. Don't see this specific question on search. Wondering if I'm OK to open up the engine to see what it will do. How long to sustain or when to back off? I'm so used to babying it and so far always had others onboard to tube... roughly 3k to plane...

    First weekend out, witness boat fire

    Scary huh. It was Port Royale. We *almost* went out about that time to head up lake for dinner but got a text saying the marina was basically shut down so not to bother. Out today for a birthday bash. That boat looked to be a sailboat and was moored up over in shallow water by the beach...

    Looking at a 2005 Sundeck 220 and new to boating

    Welcome UGA. I just went through all this myself in the last couple months on an identical 2004. PM or reply with any questions if I can help. 130 hours is low. Be careful with that statement though... perhaps it was used and then stored and even perhaps not overly maintained, i.e...

    Drive Lube low after 10-15 hours

    Don't know if they did or not but the purchase survey mechanic thought it was inferior lube that had set awhile. Was blacker than usual. They replaced and reminded me to have it looked at again at next check. Something regarding older or discolored or hardened lube that had settled.

    Drive Lube low after 10-15 hours

    Perfect, thanks guys. Boat had a hiccup of "burnt gear lube" before my purchase which was just suggested to be inferior and older lube without use, nothing metallic and certainly not burnt. You can see the wheels turning in my head now that it's mine and seeing the reservoir today! I'll just...

    Drive Lube low after 10-15 hours

    Couple basic questions I hadn't seen in search. New to me boat purchased at 150hrs with maybe 163 now at the most after 2 months approx use since survey re-winterization. I just happened to see that I'm barely north of the Add line on the Drive Lube Monitor. 1) Can I just top this up? What...

    My cheap Harbor Freight polishing tool, who’s laughing now?

    Hey folks without searching back threads can you confirm this is the unit below and where are you getting the 7" velcro wool pads.... dont see them at Harbor. Also, I didn't quite understand the $5 buffers a year comment on pads from dpmulvey. Much appreciated...

    Scott, you CAN use the aux port for ipod/iphone. Just did the same myself on a CMD3 if that's what you have.

    220 Sundeck Livewell Idea

    Surfin, going to try to find these parts this weekend and give it a shot. Take back if it doesn't work. This similar to what you're looking for? Bimini poles may be ok (I think they're 7/8"??). Only concern was the 40lb striper I'm after...
