I really miss mine that I had on the 1801. Below is a link to the old Permatrim thread, with pics. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4569&hilit=hydrofoil

My dealer, Cecil Marine, is a dealer. Im about to send my factory post back to Peter at SeaSpension, so he can change out my spring for a weaker one. Apparently Parker uses the standard posts that are geared for people 200 & up. At 170 lbs., I barely get less than an inch of deflection out of...

Those 2 transducer models cover both the same 0-70 degree hulls. Mine is 21 degree. You cant go by my placement, as the strakes on both sides of my ducer will be spaced differently than yours. However, when determining placement, you have to evaluate your hull in front of the ducer, all the way...

I have never lost bottom with the GT52HW-TM, even in excess of 40 mph. I took every precaution to mount it precisely where I thought it would perform the best (see pick below). Also, the excerpt I show below shows the differences between the GT50 & GT52. The angles are slightly different, but...

Ok, I think the link is fixed now.

I use the GT52HW-TM with a 7608xsv and am pleased with the images. Below is a link to some of the phone images I took of some wrecks. The transducer is only 6 inches long, but be sure to get their spray-shield to prevent rooster tails spraying onto the outboard. I too trailer a couple months a...

Once the boat was out of the slip since mid November, and the bilge drained thoroughly, I would come back from a day on the water without anchoring and the bilge wouldn't drain anything. That tells me that the rub rail is sealed well too. I normally don't put a bucket under the drain plug to...

I get the same thing. When trailering past couple months, it isn't until I tilt the trailer up in order to unhook the coupler ball, that the bilge slowly drains over the course of a couple days. I collected almost a full 5-gallon bucket with the rear drain plug out. This may have been from the...

That is my very 2120 SC in their 3D virtual tour in their "fleet" section, that I ordered this summer! My boat arrived this past August with a few hours on the motor and they explained it was used for a Photo shoot for 2017 models. It has my actual combination of upgrades, from spreader lights...

I may have misled you. What I meant by "don't leave it unattended", was that when proving out a new charger for the first time by monitoring the voltage it climbs to, don't leave it and assume it will not climb too high in voltage and boil your batteries. Once you see that it is designed...

I don't trust any new charger either, until I see on a voltmeter exactly what voltage it peaks, changes stages, or settles in at. Bought an "automatic" charger this summer at Walmart to bail me out in a pinch. I don't use it anymore, at least unattended. The voltage it floats, or maintains at is...

I would not run the charger grounds all the way to the helm buss. I see no advantage in this. Heavy charge current would therefore have to loop all the way to the helm ground buss via your new wire, & back to the batteries via your original ground wire. Why pass that potential of 60 amps through...

This is the painted bow roller to protect keel from potential impact. It was painted purely as an indicator to show if any keel contact was made during launching. Apparently the keel never touches the roller, so can probably be removed.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think something is patentable once you disclose it to the public. One would have to apply for one first, I would think. Besides, I'd feel funny about trying to patent "common sense" practical ideas with only "off-the-shelf" parts. It's not like I designed the...

Thanks for the interest. Up here in the NE, our tide swings are more dramatic. Just last week during a full moon, the swing was almost 7 feet. the ramps are steeper too. I usually never walk past the rear rollers closest to the center of the trailer. Actually, water would run into the top of my...

David, congrats! That's a beautiful scene on the creek. Don't make the same mistake I did, and didn't realize until tonight (4-1/2 months later) that under both of the large port and starboard v-berth cushions are storage compartments. I've been struggling for space, and these 2 hatched...

I like the extra storage... giving me ideas for my boat. Could use some drawers inside the cabin though. Any mfgrs you can suggest?

The cross members seem to drain from a hole at the "dip" in the lowest part, and the 2 main 3x4's seem to drain straight out the back at the rear lights, at least when pulling up the ramp. Sometimes I can't always store the boat & trailer at the steep upward angle I would like. One thing's for...

Good luck to you and your wife on your new boat. I took delivery of the same, just barely over 4 months ago. Already put over 400 miles on her, and 54 hours. Managed to salvage the remainder of a short season. This was just a "familiarity" season to see what improvements & tweaks need to be made...

I only splashed the new trailer in the salt once on August 31st, then maybe 5 times in December, then Friday (Jan 6). Well 2 trips ago the right side running lights on the forward wheel-well light, rear light, and center light on rear cross member failed. Pulling the wiring out of the tube...
