  1. I was pulled over for speeding in a no wake zone....clocked @ 15 in a 9 kph zone ....

     

    They stripped searched the boat and this is how it went...as I recall.

     

     

    from a checklist.:

     

    life jackets.. paddles.. whistle.. bailing bucket.. anchor and rope.... 40' throw rope..working flashlight...good registration and ID.

     

    I also have a fire extinguisher on board and a survival kit.. they gave me kudos for that.

    They let me off with a warning for speeding and that was that.

     

    Enjoy the New Boat...

     

    As for the stereo an automotive unit will last for years so long as you buy the 25$ cover....

  5. If you sit on the right hand side you may turn right and left with no problems...if you sit on the left and steer with the right arm turning right may become a problem for tight turns... the handle may get in the way by hitting your legs or belly... at least that what happens to me.

  6. BTW Marine Starting Batteries are NOT the same as a automobile battery as the plates within the battery are cushioned better to handle the pounding the battery receives in a boat.

    I've visited the plant and the rep is a good buddy of mine....

     

    The guts are the same as an automotive battery... the outer shell has some differences like grooves for straps and fasteners ... different posts and stickers...at least the Stowaway and Nautilus..Champion..

     

    I the automotive line up they'll tell you that it's made with "Heavy Duty Robust Materials"

     

    In the Marine line up they'll use different words like "Special Envelope" ....words used to sell stuff.

     

    Think about it.... the battery in your car takes one hell of a pounding too..

  7. Thanks for the input gentlemen. These batteries I'm looking at are deep cycles as well as a cranking one for the main motor. I'm pretty sure my buddy said AC Delco, after checking the internet I'm guessing that they are the Voyager line. There was a price difference between the 2 types with the cranking battery being slightly cheaper.

     

     

    Don't get ripped by buying a "Marine Starting" Battery... same battery different sticker and posts than a car battery. 50$ + difference sometimes.

  8. Well....

     

    If you buy an A/C Delco Battery.... group 27..Deep Cycle ..A Deep Cycle Battery is designed strictly for a long 12V low AMP discharge..IE: Trolling Motor , Bilge Pump, Fishfinder/GPS..lights , music and such. 12v low amp draw.

     

    Don't expect these batteries to last If you're gonna crank an engine over with it...HIGH amp draw in an instant will drain a deep cycle battery in no time.

     

    If you plan on starting and running electronics and a trolling motor from a single battery what you need is a.

     

    Marine Dual Purpose... an Exide Stowaway should run you about 90.00$ part # 27dp750... 750 crankers for the engine[preferably a 150hp or less outboard] and the low amp reserve of a Deep Cycle.

     

    I sell these things everyday.

     

    Here's how it goes.....If you buy and A/C Delco Battery you're buying an EAST PENN battery..rebranded 20x over ..CTC 50 month Sure Start battery...Wal* 550.. UAP/NAPA ...NAPA ... Parts Master..ect.rolls of stickers and black batteries somewhere near AJAX On,

     

    EXIDE make ...Stowaway...Nautilus ...Wal*Marine..Mercury .ect. and most Ford and Dodge for the Canadian Market...premium batteries from CTC 60/72/84 month warranty. P/R......

    Same @ EXIDE a bunch of black batteries and rolls of stickers ...Sudbury On. serves the North.

     

    If you need to go with 2 batteries you may prefer to do this ...

    #1 Dual Purpose for the back end... Electronics and cranking....

    #2 For the front if ya have a trolling motor a Deep Cycle.

     

     

    .............................................

  9. EH!!!!!

     

    I 'll take 2 hats and 2 stickers.... and 2 t shirts ... come see me at work...The Big Yellow Parts Shop behind Pizza Hut.

    If I got pick it up do I save the freight?

  10. sorry but makes no sense to me...

     

     

    My Expedition did 9.5 MPG city and 12.0 HWY .... I've since added a EDGE Performance Tuner and a TBS..and a K&N Cold Air Intake along with a Tornado Insert ....I've upped my horsepower 25% and I now do 12.9 city and about 18.6 hwy..

    Total cost of 800.00$ ...I do all my own installs

    Less restrictive exhaust and more air flow = more power & Better fuel economy .. It's almost paid for itself in fuel economy...

     

    And I like the sound..

     

    I work in parts as a living ... to sell myself the O.E replacement I'd of paid 110.00$ for my muffler..

    In this case I paid 86.00$ Stainless Steel Lifetime Warranty.

     

    My Truck sees alot of HWY and Offroad... I figure I've got the best of both worlds.
