    Factory installed depth finder

    I would say the operation of your depth finder is normal . As speed increases , by the time the signal from the transducer beams off the bottom and back to the transducer , the boat has already passed tha spot and gives you a false reading . They seam to work up to a certain speed . This has...

    WHATS THAT MEAN

    Thanks 175 . Much apriciated. I have a few things in mind , just want to make sure it looks right before I spend the money for the name and graphics and apply it to the boat . I must have been through 10 - 15 different font styles so far , but hey , I dont want to mess up a good looking boat

    its too quiet

    I rode a friends jet ski a couple of times , but the fun ran out fast . In my opinion they are impractical . For the price one pays for a new one , he / she can get a decent used Checkmate or any other brand and get alot more use out of it . The problem with jet skis are the operators not the...

    on new checkmates

    Bob. I first use Meguires boat and RV polish to give a deep shine , then I finish that off with Meguires Flagship Wax to protect the finish . Every couple of weeks in between waxing I use Meguires quick spray wax just to keep it looking good . I use Flitz polish for the chrome and stainless...

    Gas prices on water

    I agree with Bob. These business owners are providing a service and naturaly one will pay for a service . I am sure these marinas also have more red tape to go through then road side gas stations and the customer is going to help pay fpr that red tape . The owner has to make a living. That...

    funny place for a boat

    I don't feel sorry for the guy . Maybe if he knew how to tie a boat on the trailer this would have not happend . What was he thinking ? The weight of the boat would hold it on the trailer ? I use the winch strap , two tie downs in the stern , a tunbuckle attached to the bow eye and trailer and...
