Stabil is now selling a product specifically to address this ethanol separation in boats.

MM is the same with parts costs. MM is my local dealer and I got a quote from them. I had the same sense about their near monopolistic power so I called the SR dealer 100 miles away. MM wanted 20% more. I wasn't surprised.
I've been a SR fan for a long time and if anyone can pull through it...
Any of you trailer boaters have any advice on frequency of outdrive cleaning and whether or not to wax I've only had my boat out half a dozen times and I'm already getting the white buildup on the outdrive. I would use toilet bowl cleaner on my old boat's outdrive maybe once a year and it...
They don't make one for the XMD3. You have to by an ipod interface module/box that I hear dosen't work very well; it simulates a cd changer to the xmd3. Even the newer Clarion head units suck when at controlling ipods. Big letdown. I don't think the newer clarion remotes will show the artist...
Before you start you will need a stero RCA to 1/8" minipug cable. It has 2 RCA male plugs (Lt/Rt) on one end and the miniplug that attaches to the Ipod headphone jack on the other. You can get them at radioshack
Come to think of it I had this same problem on my old celebrity and the power cables never came near the trim wire. Surely someone has had this happen too.
I just installed a new amplifier and am getting a loud pop from the speakers when I trim my outdrive or trim tabs. I have the power wire coming from the output from the battery switch and the ground wire going to one of the batteries. I am parralleling the trim wire most of the cable run but I...
Very Helpful website. More than you ever wanted to know and has interactive calulators for determining wire size, fuze size, ohm resistance. WOW! look under wiring for your question on how much you can run on a 10 guage wire. http://www.bcae1.com/
Also bridging the sub of the same channel as...
Check our these guys: www.darvex.com for your wiring needs. I've used them a couple of times their pricing is great and shipping is fast. Make sure to go with the HPM series of speaker and power wire. The wiring is tinned making it marine grade.
Another thing to keep in mind with these outdoor speakers is that the vast majority are 8 Ohm designs that don't promote efficient utiliation of 12V amplifiers.
Do the amp screws protrude into the storage under the front seat? I have been considering using some King starboard so that I can screw the amp and distribution blocks into itand only have to run a few screws into the boat but the uneven surface in that compartment doesn't lend itself well to...
I was meaning to take my GPS with me when I took it out but forgot. I would be real surprised to to see it move that fast. If you search for boattest and 240 sundeck sea ray you can find some graphs of their testing out boat. Useful to see what the best cruise speed etc.
BTW I'm with you...
No, mine doesn't have the corsa. I test drove one that did and it did sound great. I've got a friend with a 270SD and a 496 HO with the corsa so he'd show me up anyway. This is my 3rd boat as well I just moved up from a 190 Celebrity that I bought new 12 years ago. Was a nice boat but the...
I'd like to see the tower speakers. (there is a thread talking about adding pictures by putting a like to a picture site such as snapfish). I was thinking of adding the kickers to my boat too. Are your amps mounted on an amp rack or just attached to the back of the front seat?
Hey Jeff, you got an amp on that boat yet? I just installed one on mine last weekend so if you need any advice holler. I was surprised to find that the factory had already prepared a place where the factory amp goes with a piece of wood backing to mount an amp to. Too bad it is not big enough...
Hey, Jeff I just got here a little before you with my "new to me" 05 240SD. Looks like we got the same boat and are on the same quest to upgrade the sound system based on your comments on another thread.
OOOHHHH, nice speakers. I was only looking at the marine speakers because I really want to stay with white on this boat. I had black speakers on my old boat but it had a red interior. I still wonder about the efficiency but I assume with the right power they sound very very good. Just out of...
