Big fan of RainX on outside, antifog solution on the inside.

It's not very effective, nor is it very useful. Even when out on the open water, I manage to keep the windscreen pretty dry. I can imagine if you had a full canopy and were riding out in some nasty weather (which I really would not recommend at all, especially in an open cabin boat), it might be...

In my humble opinion the wiper is more headache than it's worth. I removed mine, rain-x the glass, and haven't looked back.

1 day down!

Say no more !

Angle is adjustable on iPad for glare and sitting vs standing.

It wasn't that complicated. He replaced amp, head unit, remote, and speakers in like 3 hours with two guys. My navman was still working, but I really never used it. I know my waters around here really well, and when going outside of my normal area I just used my iPad with Navionics so I had...

Sure. I don't have any on my phone right now but will take and share. It was really easy to wire the remote-- I hired a professional to do it :D Where are you in PA? I have a guy here in NJ that is fairly priced, honest, and would probably travel to eastern PA.

Finally had a chance to finish the install. Unfortunately I forgot my iPad at the office so I didn't have it for the photo, but here's the setup. The iPad has 2 small metal plates behind it that match up to the magnets and hold it in place. I used the existing circuit for the navman which I...

Yup. Will do. The music hub is part of winter project part II, new head unit and amp. I need to solicit help from a friend or professional for that one. Stereo **** scares me.

Im in the process (slow process) of building an iPad setup in my dash. I've found that using the navionics app is more useful to me than any fixed gps unit mounted to the dash mostly because I can constantly update the software, for free, and I can use the iPad for other things. Going to be...

I hear the insurance company doesn't want to use anything rebuilt, and merc doesn't make the 6.2 anymore, so I'll be getting a 383 stroker with a 10% power boost. A S/C would be nice...

For those following along at home...I present you with one of many boating nightmares: Watch your water temp gauge like a hawk. You never know when you'll suck up a garbage bag and block your intake. Looks like Boat US insurance will be footing the bill on this one, but not in stone yet...

I have a small plastic storage box with lid that I use to keep tools and odds and ends in. That box stays in the compartment ahead of the helm. I've never had any issues with vibration.

43 hours this summer and hit my first real mechanical issues this weekend. So sad. Ruined a fun day today. Luckily it died at the dock. Started Friday night with an overheat alarm (which I think was separate. I think water intake was blocked). Worked fine after we let it cool down. Then...

Sorry this is late. But, there is no DOT number or any markings at all on the walk through glass.

Sorry I missed this post. Will check Friday or sooner.

Docking in general is best done slowly. Backing is really no different than pulling in from that perspective. Never be afraid to execute a missed approach. It's always better than the alternative. On the open water practice backing up popping it in and out of gear so you know how your throttle...

Great weekend on the water except for one minor glitch. One of my drain plugs on the engine (fuel cooler drain) broke and the threads stayed in the hole. I noticed my bilge running a lot and checked it out and saw the water pissing out and salt buildup all over the engine. I couldn't get the...

Does your trim gauge have a red zone at the top for trailering? Mine does.
