Pontoon Boat & Deck Boat Forum

Buy one and mount it to the end of a stick or 2 x 4. Take your boat to a cove one evening and lean over the back with the stick and you can simulate different placements to see which location gives you the best results.

How much fuel can you hold? I'd calculate my fuel distance range and make sure I have plenty of reserve to get to each fuel stop.

The code is probably buried in the URL for the survey. If you bought a Sun Tracker and what you've found looks legit, there's probably almost zero chance the URL is problematic.

Not a great pic, but my boat sits pretty low even on 25" tubes. But I've also got the horsepower and the third tube so that when it is underway it sort of planes and rides a lot higher in the water.

I'd suspect a spun hub, too.

But the engine height is really easy to check when it's sitting on the trailer. The cavitation plate should be at just about the same height as the bottom of the toons. If it's not, that can create cavitation, etc.

You can buy those vents like come on fitted boat covers for about $10 and the telescoping support poles aren't much more. Could put one in front and rear. I think they probably work better than those mushroom head standalone poles because the vent installs/clamps into the cover and then the pole in...

I'm not familiar with auto pilot specifically, but it sounds like your questioning the viability of using the system on a pontoon. A pontoon isn't any different than any other boat. The hull is just shaped differently. If you could rig up a system that woould work on a standard v-hull outboard boat,...

How about this?

My lake definitely allows them to rest on the bottom of the lake (they don't actually "attach"). As far as width, the lift I'm getting is 108" wide and my slip is 117" wide, so everything will fit. I think I've decided to go with a setup by Shorestation, with the automated side curtains. https://www...

I don't have any "issues". I was just wondering if anybody has any experience of history with these type of lifts. I'm particularly interested in the canopy/cover and the best way to extend the side curtains to give the boat more protection.

I'm in the process of buying a lot at the lake that comes with a deeded, floating slip. I immediately plan to add a free standing vertical lift with a canopy. Does anybody have an experience and/or any comments or recommendations? I'm looking for something like this: https://www.shoremaster.com/lifts/

Man, ain't it great when your message lands with someone who gives a crap? You should see all the stuff my wife deals with at work that's easy enough for a child to complete but that other people receive and keep putting in the deferred folder. And for way too many people, the "deferred folder" is ...

Looks like you've got a base with good bones to add to. Keep in touch with posts and pictures as you progress! Good Luck.

Based on a quick google search, it looks like it's just a silicone "gasket". It's available on Amazon.

Mine's a 2003. It is not a 20009!

That's the special futuristic option for those who have a time machine! LOL. I fixed the typo.
