Rinker Forum

We all know how fortunate we are to be a member of the Rinker Owners Club Forum....but I had forgotten just HOW lucky we actually are! As you guys know I just bought a PWC. Today I went on a number of PWC owners forums. I was astounded how many posts - on many forums less that 90% - were not ever answered. Never, like going back years. People are reading the posts, sometimes a couple of hundred reads but no suggestions or offers of help. I asked a question about installing pop-up cleats in the stern area of a 2018 FX Cruiser SVHO (it has pop-up cleats in the bow area).....let's see if I even get a reply on that forum. Geez, I have already replied to one poor guy who asked a question about octane ratings for his supercharged pwc. Guys WE are LUCKY to have this membership!!!!!

Out of 685 "questions" that have been posted, only 52 remain unanswered -- less than 8%. And that includes some that were answered but the author forgot to "accept" answers.
Yeah, we're like that.
just my opinion. The decent PWC owners are or have been responsible boat owners.

I belong to a regional forum but its all but died due to Facebook and a change of ownership.
This is a very active and connected forum IMO.

This Rinker group is good, but it is pretty heavily focused on cruisers and I own an open-bow. I spend time on the CrownlineHQ forum which is a great group of open-bow/sport boat folks. Mostly Crownline owners, of course, but quite a few other brands represented also.

Rinkers are more of an actual "hobby" for their owners. There is interest in the actual boat and "boating" itself and hobby of boating. That's my initial thought at least.
