    Anyone experience faulty splices on new SeaLion trailers

    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...

    Trailer Walkway

    After putting the 9000# electric winch on the trailer, launching and retrieving was a lot easier Saturday. I did feel the need to have something sturdier to walk down the trailer frame than a 3-inch wide piece of 3x4 steel tubing to balance on. So Monday I went to a local steel supplier 20 miles...

    Who makes the best trailer winch?

    Was about to pull the trigger on a good electric trailer winch, but then I read nothing but bad reviews on one particular site for that product. I need the type with a wireless remote. Also, I will be installing trailer steps/walkways down the side of the trailer frame, so am also looking...

    New Raymarine/Airmar B60 Thru-hull Transducer from Parker

    Since I had to hang a transom transducer for 3 modes (down, side & conventional), I told Parker this summer not to bother making the hole in the bottom of my boat for their factory installed Bronze B60 Thru-hull transducer. They sent it along with my boat, uninstalled and in the original box. It...

    Speargun Rack addition

    Well, I got past drilling the first couple holes in my new girl when adding side/bottom scan transducer, so these next couple holes weren't as painful. This gun rack keeps a small deck a little less cluttered. Every bit helps and needs to be thought out down to the inch.

    How is factory seat pedestal anchored?

    I have to remove my seat pedestal at the end of the season (December 1st) and send it back to Seaspension in order for them to change the coil over spring to the lighter force "medium" spring. The standard spring handles a seat & weight capacity range of 175-275 pounds. I am 175 pounds and look...

    Bilge-Pump Buzzer

    This isn't exactly a "marine electronics" question, but more marine electrics. I noticed the other day while in rough seas, that my rocker-switch indicator light came on very briefly for the bilge pump. I'm sure this was doing this many times before I noticed it, but my switch panel mounts...

    Solar Mount

    Shawnee, Here is some info you were asking about. I didn't want to put it in Vince's pedestal thread. The panel is mounted on a 15x16" piece of 1/2" starboard I cut out, then drilled and tapped the corners to 1/4-20 threads. Panel has 4 brass grommets in corners, with 1/2" holes for mounting...

    Mr. Heater in a 2120 SC

    Just picked up a "Tough Buddy" Mr. heater propane heater today for the new "Madison Rose". The single-tank 4,000-9,000 btu model. I read many posts where people are happy with them on their Parkers, but I have a couple of questions. Anyone have pics of where they mounted one in a 2120SC...

    Please Help With Best Transom-Ducer Location on 2120

    I realize most owners on here have factory thru-hull round transducers. I had the factory omit mine, since they would not put in my transducer of choice, a chirp model. Are there any late model 2120 owners that have installed transom-mounted transducers that can show pics of the cleanest...

    Prepping transom holes for transducer mount

    My new 2120SC arrives next week from the factory, and I want to have all my ducks in a row to get the side-scan transducer mounted to the transom. BOE marine who sells transducers, is recommending drilling over sized holes, filling them with epoxy, drilling pilot holes, THEN running self-tapping...

    Do Newer 2120SC Helms Fit a 10" Combo

    The factory refuses to deviate from their 3 offerings of Garmin plotter combos. I tried to get them to install a 7610xsv but the largest they offer is a 7608xsv. Pics look like a 10" would fit with room to spare. Are there obstructions behind the helm preventing a larger cut out? Does...

    Spray Shield, or Flip Up Xducer Bracket, for rooster tail?

    Expecting delivery end of August on the new 2120SC, but don't want to waste a lot of time when it arrives, fitting the "torpedo" shaped Scanning transducer. I hear they can create a significant rooster tail spray. Have been reading posts about how spray from various sources, some known, some...

    Anyone use 800 khz xducer on Side, Bottom or Structure scan?

    Trying to narrow down which pair of frequencies to get in a scanning transducer. This transducer is made by, and for Garmin. I have 2 choices. A 455khz/800khz transducer, or a 260khz/455khz transducer. I'm leaning toward the 800khz unit, as I would like the sharpest imaging detail. I would...

    How do I utilize best bottom imaging from factory Garmins?

    About to pull the trigger next week on a 2120 SC, before the 2017 price increases. In addition to several useful options, such as 2nd helm station, free fall windlass, 200 hp, etc., the navigation/sonar package is particularly important to me as a diver needing the best image detail of wrecks...

    Searchlight as a factory option?

    I'm waiting to hear back from the factory about this, but would like to know about this option for a 2120 SC. Has anyone ordered a boat with this option? And who manufacturers the best light? Thanks, Jim

    What model year did 2120's become 21 degree deadrise?

    Current factory specs don't help me when shopping for a used 2120 SC. Is there an archive somewhere of "prior model years" changes to specs, such as transom dead rise, or floor plan arrangements? Thanks, Jim
