    Anybody know where to get a rod locker for a pontoon: Lowe SS210 XL

    We bought this 2016 Lowe SS210 XL. We like it, but wish it had a storage locker behind the captains seat. I have seen other boats with one of these and was trying to find one to buy, but interestingly enough, finding one has been very hard. The image I have attached is exactly what we need...

    Should this Lowrance 3500 DF only get a reading if in the water? Odd behavior.

    Should the Lowrance 3500 only provide a reading when the boat is in the water? We bought a 2000 year boat with the Lowrance in-dash 3500 depth finder. For whatever reason, the transducer cable was cut, so I had to buy a new cable/puck (part PD-N). In the process of trying to figure out where...

    Wide angle transducer or narrow angle? Can't find Lowrance 3500 PD-N replacement.

    Thanks in advance for your advice. I have a Lowrance 3500 in-dash depth finder in my 2000 Chriscraft Sportdeck 232. This is the original depth finder and transducer cable. The cable is shot. Splicing is not an option. When I went to look for a replacement, all I could find was PD-W. PD-W is...

    Will gelcoat adhere to fiberglass that is soaked with oil?

    We have run into an issue that is new to us. We have a transom gelcoat repair to make just below the drain **** and around the drain ****. It appears that the previous owners of the boat would change the oil by letting it run out the back. So the area that we need to repair has some oil that...

    Anybody know the cheapest dealership in the USA for a Lowe (SS210 XL)

    After years of owning all different types of boats and having the chance to try out a tritoon, we have decided that is what we want for our next boat. My father and I have been flipping boats for the last 2 years to save up enough to buy a newer tritoon, and we are nearly there. I have seen some...

    Stupid Question: What is this hardware thing on the side of my boat?

    I have this deck boat that is new to me. What is this thing used for on the side of my boat? Thanks for the education.

    2000 Chriscraft Sport Deck 232 Missing Fresh and Gray Water Tanks - Where to find?

    Last year we bought a pretty nice 2000 Chris Craft Sport Deck 232. We looked it over carefully but failed to realize that fresh and gray water tanks had been removed until after we bought it. This would not have been a deal breaker even if we had noticed, but I really wanted to be able to use...

    1987 Johnson GT150 - Having trouble dropping lower unit for impeller change

    So we took the advice on another post in that we are replacing the impeller on our 1987 Johnson GT150 before our maiden voyage. I have looked at various videos on youtube on how to do this, and it does not appear difficult. But we have run into a small snag. After putting it in reverse and...

    Would appreciate some insight on winterizing the volvo duo prop - never seen this

    Most of my experience is winterizing Mercruiser lower units. The only other Volvo I ever owned until now was an old 1985 Bayliner and it was drained the same way you drain a Mercruiser. So, we just bought this 2000 deck boat with a 5.7 GSI and the DP. I was surprised to not see any drain...

    Does this 1987 Johnson GT 150 sound okay to you? Have a video here...

    We bought a 1995 deck/pontoon boat that came with a 1987 Johnson GT 150. We were told the motor was a 1995, but after looking at the model number, we see it is not. We took the seller's word for it at the time and had an independent boat mechanic tell us the motor seems fine (compression...
