My HGTV "Lakefront Bargain Hunt" episode premiers this Sunday (6/26) @ 8:30pm
viking replied to ReSession's topic in Off Topic
I watched the recording late last night. Cool to see your place!! Just wondering how many takes some of those scenes took now understanding that most if not all of it was done "after" the fact? So I'm assuming they had some general lines of conversation they wanted you to have? Need to visit that area sometime. I'm a sucker for lake life living anyway but throw in an abundance of craft breweries and sounds like your in paradise -

Engine coolant alert?
viking replied to ssmith's topic in Supreme Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Carry a spare raw water impeller! -
Damn that's heartbreaking. A reminder how quick good times can turn bad and you can't be too careful sometimes.

Engine coolant alert?
viking replied to ssmith's topic in Supreme Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Wow that story is just depressing!! Be interested to see how it all ends?? I've seen the strainer/flush all in one but I already had the flush kit. Cool product tho and something to think about ssmith if you don't have one yet. -
s226 prop choice.
viking replied to zonk's topic in Supreme Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Who sent you 2 props to try?? I'm still waiting on Fineline to send my dealer a replacement prop and going on 7 weeks. Waiting on 1631 or 1579 -
Engine coolant alert?
viking replied to ssmith's topic in Supreme Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
Glad you got the issue resolved!! I put mine right after the intake valve and before my flush kit. Ordered it from skidim.com -
Engine coolant alert?
viking replied to ssmith's topic in Supreme Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
impeller looks good. Prop shouldn't be the issue. I installed a strainer on my 15 for preventative maintenance. Let us know what you find when checking tranny cooler. It's what usually collects all the rubber from the impeller when they implode -
I'm sure it's going to happen to me one of these days too but I'm pretty diligent to listen and watch intently to make sure I kill the pump when bags are empty. I've got 3 spare impellers just in case tho. As H said the noise difference is unmistakable. Thought about re-plumbing the empty lines to a through hull so I'd get a visual but quite frankly that's a lot of work and doesn't guarantee a user error issue there as well and still burn up an impeller.

Damn Skippy! And quite frankly I don't see an excuse since all these parts can be tracked by VIN# of the boat so there really should not be any kind of mixup on what each customer needs??
-
^^ Just another incident of corporate not paying attention to the little details! Can't imagine how much more work they create for themselves by procrastinating so long, ignoring the clientele, and then screwing up by shipping the wrong parts out. Only to do the same thing over and over and over again. I'm 6 months out from when I first spoke to my dealer about warranty items. I'm 3 months out from when they finally received said parts I'm 5 weeks out from when I had my boat at the dealership only to find that all parts were for centurion and wrong and we requested exchange for correct parts I just cannot believe the inefficiencies and more surprisingly the lack of any concern or interest to try and fix them????? grrrrr Rant OVER!!!! all that being said............good luck getting the right poles !

LOL - same here! I think it was pushing 2 months for me. I had to have them swap out the wrong valves and wrong board racks but mainly was waiting for the white stuff on the road to dissipate- 82 replies

yes 15-40 is correct. I run Rotella as well since it's inexpensive and easy to source just about everywhere! -

2016 S226 maintenance schedule
viking replied to NW Vettes's topic in Supreme Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
First service is done at 25 hours. Most likely needs a flash update and that'll fix it! I dealt with that warning for the first 60hrs until finally getting the dealer to get the flash fix last month. -
surf tabs, aka "quicksurf pro"
viking replied to DrNate's topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
Centurion came out with Quicksurf in late 2014 for the 2015 models. I think Mastercraft came out with the first gen surf tabs in 2009? Malibu came out with Surfgate around late 2012 for options on all 2013 wakesetters. I know Malibu sued Mastercraft regarding their Gen2 surf tabs shortly thereafter!! -

Aft tower lights install
viking replied to SurferAdam's topic in Centurion Boat Accessories, Electronics and Modifications
Great video. I don't think you can beat the dually's for boat tower application. Perfect output and for the price I don't think you can go wrong. For fog lights and on the road I was surprised at how much better the visionX lights worked. Thanks for sharing Dark.
