Nearing the end of May and the water temp is still in the 50's. I haven't even considered getting the boat wet. I hope it gets warmer soon!

Left tab down steers right. Right tab down steers left.

I have a set of stainless Smart Tabs on my StarCraft runabout. They work very well on that boat. It planes up much quicker than without them. I considered them for my Challenger 1800 but decided no....

The place diverter is a sore subject with me. Check out this thread.

My apologies. I didn't notice that you...

Air sniper. You say you made a "minor" change to your trim plate. What did you do to it? An increase in the deflection of the trim plate will impact the speed of the boat. Two years ago I took mine...

I also bought and installed the 6 tine aluminum grate early last season. However, I have not experienced any loss in performance at all. My top end was 50 with the hydro surge and it stayed that way....

I've been considering electric brakes on my boat trailer as well. I'm stopping approx. 2200 lbs. and I can smell my brakes when I've got the windows down. I've got A full size Ram 1500. I already...

I had a piece of tubing from some other project. I don't remember what size. It's the clear tygon type. They sell it at Lowe's.

Start with making sure the shifter is in neutral and the throttle is at idle. I make that mistake all the time.

If you leave any oil in either of the tanks, be sure that the hoses are plugged and sealed in a suitable way. Otherwise you're going to have a mess.

I looked for generic boots last year with no luck in that size. I ended up buying them online at Seadoo Parts Warehouse.

EDIT..... I got those parts from Boats.net

I don't remember having any issues with getting the old pump off. If you can't get a socket in there could you use an open end wrench? Good Luck!

You could check to see that the float on the level sensor in the small oil tank is actually floating.

They found the bodies. The family can have some closure now.

I fixed the fuel "baffle" soon after I bought mine. In my case it was the fuse. You'll need to take the baffle out of the tank and determine if the magnet is loose or the fuse is blown. Google...

Where is a good place to install a 10" subwoofer in a Challenger 1800? I was looking at the space below the glove box, but don't like the angle. If afraid there might be too much spray into it.

That's where the paddlewheel for the speedometer goes.

Maybe "pops" isn't the right word. Let's just say it rises after I pull the handle.

The coast guard is assuming their bodies are still under. When the water temperature rises they'll be found.

Your struts could be weak, the cover may be out of alignment, or there may be something wrong with the latch. Mine was the same way until I replaced the struts. Now when I pull the handle it pops...

If you get a chance, head west from Sandusky into the river. There's a cool watering hole about half way to Fremont. It's called "Jimmy Bucketts". They usually have live entertainment on the weekends...

Wide open all the way. (If I choose to do so.)

I'm not in the northeast. I'm more north-central to northwest , in Fremont. There's a ramp downtown at a place called "The Tackle Box". From that point it takes me just about 1 hour to Lake Erie.

I would suggest a boating safety and rules course. You can take it online and it should reduce the cost of your insurance.

There aren't any inland lakes close by. I have a choice of two rivers very near. I also use the state accesses on Sandusky Bay and Lake Erie which are about 1/2 hour away.
