@aero3113, which of your port side outlets is GFCI? None of mine are and that’s concerning for the head...

aero3113 · June 2020

The one by the forward V birth step.

YYZRC · June 2020

Thanks! Mine is not

Any progress on your step compartment?!

aero3113 · June 2020

I want to do it but I’ve been having second thoughts. With the bins on the starboard side shelf and under the couch, we’ve been doing pretty well with storage.

How about your cabinets!!?

YYZRC · June 2020

Hoping for this week! I'm tried of boating with bungee cords holding the microwave in place!

@LaRea, what do you recommend for settings for the factory Clarion amp with no subwoofer? I'm trying to figure out the x-over and gain settings. Thanks!

Any recommendations on what type of adhesive to use to reinstall the sensatank sensors?

LaRea · June 2020

With no sub-woofer, set both sides to:
X-OVER MODE = OFF
X-OVER FREQ = (not used)

In case other readers are curious:

The crossover is only used with a subwoofer. You'd set the crossover mode to LPF (low-pass filter), meaning it only sends low frequencies to the subwoofer.

If one side of the amp has regular speakers, you'd set the crossover mode on that side to HPF (high-pass filter), meaning it only sends high frequencies. Or you might set it to OFF so it sends the full signal.

The FREQ adjustments change the cutoff frequency. You'd probably just set them in the middle, and then tweak them to see what sounds best.

Thank you @LaRea ! What do you recommend for gain settings and what does it do?

LaRea · June 2020

Start by setting the gains at the 12 o'clock position. If the speakers on the "front" channel are louder or quieter than the ones on the "rear" channel, you can use the gains to equalize them.

Then, if you want a little more volume, you could try increasing the gains. If you go too high, you might hear some distortion, and then you'll know to back off a little.

On the bass boost, it all depends on your speakers and how you like your music.

YYZRC · July 2020

I pulled the amp out and set everything as you suggested @LaRea - the hum was still present so I dropped the gain down to zero and now everything is perfect.

aero3113 · July 2020

@YYZRC , now we both owe @LaRea drinks!!

YYZRC · July 2020

Agreed!! I hope we can all agree on Hendricks...

Also @aero3113 - cabinet guy just let me know that the cabinet panel is ready!! Going to pick it up now, hopefully it fits!

@aero3113 I'm heading to long Island monday Greenport I know not close to you but it is long Island.

aero3113 · July 2020

@YYZRC can’t wait to see it!

aero3113 · July 2020

@reneechris14 , How long will you be out there? It’s not too far by car from us.

When trying to get up on plane my boat struggles and sounds like it’s cavitating badly. Especially starboard. The sound is very distinct but hard to describe - almost like I’m towing a parachute. I can’t get over 4000 rpm until it planes. Normal?

aero3113 · July 2020

Make sure your drives are trimming all the way down and not hanging up. Check by eye if you can, not the gauges.

YYZRC · July 2020

They’re fully down for sure!

Mine is similar. I ease into the throttle very slowly, trying to avoid it. Putting on the patching 22P props may have helped a bit this year too.

Meet in the middle? Not sure where that is but I’m game for an adventure...

In progress!!

Looks great!

YYZRC · July 2020

Any suggestions on where to get another nickel whisper latch? I’m struggling to find the same design.

Robinbanks · July 2020

Ever sort the plane problem?

From what I gather it is “normal” for this hull.

YYZRC · July 2020

Relocated the radio control to replace the macerator switch.

aero3113 · July 2020

What did you put in place of the old control location?

Howdy, Stranger!
