Nice @enzo101mo we will be there on the 2nd. You gonna be out?

Ahh heck who needs those anyway, open a box throw the paperwork away and put the parts where they fit

Mine turn on with the truck lights, there's a float switch as well on my license plate bracket that brightens them.

@InfinitySurf, your lights don't come on at night, just when you dunk the trailer? Mine come on at night and brighten when I dunk the trailer. Those bunk lights remind me of the fast and furious cars, not for me lol

No doubt, I'd love for that to be my ocean rig.

We'll I just called and no they don't make clamping board racks.

I'll give them a call thanks H, hope they are making clamping racks now!

Thanks @InfinitySurf, but yeah I wanted to get either the PTM clamping racks or Roswell triton racks but can't find/get brackets that will work with them and my gladiator tower ? So since I had the Samson swivel racks on my avy and loved them (other then the aplastic bands) I figure I'll get them for my 244.

Samson racks are really good for there price. I had them on my last boat and will probably get them again for my current boat since non of the clamping racks have bracket for my tower.

You'll have to reach up there and feel around for studs with nuts on them or it's like my 05 Elite and has black plastic barbed studs that you'll need a door panel removal tool to pull the cushion off with.

Volz is 100% correct on the breaking of the trailer. Infinity I have never had a problem breaking backing down a ramp either so from what your explaining says that there's something up with the truck. If I remember correctly you have a 1/2 ton Silverado? And if so my last few 1/2 tons the breaks went very quickly from the half pad down. Basically the pads had a longer life from new to half and less from half pads to replacing if that makes sense. I have even replaced warped rotors with break pads having life left in them due to towing heavy loads and heating the rotors to much. My bet would be the trucks pads and/or rotors.

X2? I really like how your zippers work out on yours Rhunt and I like the brackets JJ did! If I were to put these racks on my tower I'd use JJ's bracket mount concept and the zippers in the Bimini like Rhunt. The only reason I won't add these racks are because I won't be able to reach my boards without climbing all over the boat to get to my boards but if I had a long board that would be a different story.

I'm assuming Your forward bow seat doesn't flip up (which seems odd to me) and you are having a problem reaching the bulb bracket. Can you reach the nuts that hold the seat back on? If so remove that seat and you will be able to access the navigation lights to replace them easily.

Can you post a pic of your lights from the outside bow?

I don't have ramfill and yes there's 1100# bags in the rear lockers of my 244.

You gotta reach under there and give it a quarter turn to the left and it'll come out. These might work for you... https://www.toolfetch.com/crescent-psx200c-x2-straight-long-nose-plier.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_term=CT-PSX200C&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjOO_iYT52gIVViSBCh3XgA3REAQYCyABEgI_H_D_BwE

Runt will let you know, sorry he has a SV233 not 244. He'll be able to give you the exact length.

@RhuntIII can sometime soon I'd assume. He has a 14 SV244 in his shop.

Not sure if it helps but my 2013 SV244 fits in my 25' driveway with the swim step removed and tung folded. I'd think a SV233 would fit in a 24' driveway.

Good point jake. I was just gonna say start by lighting a cigarette then go about removing your fuel lines ? @woodman4 on a serious note do you think it might be a vacuum leak? I had a Toyota back in the day that made a similar noise and it was a vacuum leak.

That's not as bad as I thought it would be and hey I agree happy wife happy life and those happy wife's come with the bill to right!

4900# of ballast with a suck gate seams crazy to me and I can't see that kind of weight being necessary. I would have to think your burning way more gas then needed to produce a great wave. Are you switching sides often so that's why you prefer a suck gate over listed? I use my boat listed and have never taken wakes over the side or bow with about 2200# of water ballast and 500# of lead (250# each rear locker) so I'm almost half the weight while surfing. That has to be less fuel consumption right... Heres what my starboard wave look like. PS sorry about going off topic, not sure what prop I have but I'll check and update soon.

Definitely Sewlong.

I used 3 interstate group 29 batteries in my avalanche and if you recall the system I had in that boat was ridiculous with 6 amps and over 7000 watts. I'd go on week long lake trips without recharging them on shore power.
