Hyperryd Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Finally got the boat out for maiden voyage Saturday around 3:00. It was 91 degrees and sunny. 30 minutes later a crazy thunderstorm rolled in with gale force winds and lightning. We loaded up at 5:00 to 76 degrees and pouring rain. Hannah still surfed in it all. breakz77, Mikewoods, mkl91710 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it climate controlled. Otherwise inside that is going to be 1000 degrees out there in Vegas. I had a unit when i was there that was climate controlled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston M. Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Only thing that kept it from goin under was the rope in the back. Apparently they dont come with an automatic bilge pump? I got half a mind the let it go. Have had nothing but trouble with this thing. Water didnt get to the motor. I replaced the one gate valve with a valterra so thats gotta be where its coming from.

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk They most definitely do come with an auto bilge, unfortunately I learned that the guy at the factory didn't heat shrink the butt connector and it corroded the power wire for the 'auto' on the bilge. Luckily I don't store on the water, but did realize that the boat was sitting awfully low while on a booze cruise, opened the hatch and it was DEEP! I am not the only one that has happened to on here either. Might be a starting point to check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preston M. Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Yeah i think it woulda been a goner. I just got it out the water v drive and tranny oil isnt contaminated so ima keep an eye on that. Ballast tank was half full and the rest went into the hull. It started to rain the other day when i was installing it, so i didnt have enough time to properly check it. Got in northern louisiana last night at 930 with more storms comin in so i stead of leavin it on the trailer i hurried and put it in the boat house. The hull had water in it from the drive over here so i didnt notice anything out if the norm til i woke up this morning. That valterra valve is not fun to i stall it is way bigger that the gate master, and my arms arent exactly small . I have another gasket so ima pull it out and do it right this time Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk bloodiestcadaver, mkl91710 and oldsmobiledriver 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsmobiledriver Posted June 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Steering cable won’t make it long with water in the sleeve before it starts getting tight. I’d order a cable and have ready for a slow day or the day it gets hard to steer.... I washed the bilge of mine with bleach and dawn soap and five gallons of water while I hauled it with the drain plug In to storage and just the five gallons got my cable in about a month or so....
