  1. I have a 2008 avalanche and have had the sqim platform brackets brake a few times. So looking at upgrading to a set of brackets from a malibu that are available on bakes. The holes are 1/2" mounting holes. And i see that the mounting on the boat is molded into the fibreglass so wondering, has anyone drilled that out for 1/2" bolts and is that a plate or nuts molded into the fibreglass?
  2. Time to replace the drum brakes on my trailer. Found these kits from titan and a few others. 200$ for a conversion kit on amazon. Kit specifies #84 spindle. Not sure how to verify this other than it being a 3500# 5on4.5 axle. Trailer is 2008. Boat was originally delivered in california. Not having my trailer papers and boats in storage is it reasonable to assume it will fit

  4. Only difference marine to vehicle is spark arrest parts which r just rubber gaskets over connections / electronic pats. And they generally get some paint covering the whole outside.
  5. I went high output. Stock one tests out to 55 amps. High output does 135 amp. Local parts suppliers couldnt figure it out. Went to an alternator shop and they had one next day. I think it was about 120cdn. Worth it to charge up big batteries an not worry about draining during engine off and radio on. Running 1200w amp to sub plus 800w to towers.
  6. Get a mission delta suction cup wake shaper. 1100 lb bag in each locker. 300lbs in bow bag. Fill hard tank. 700+ in oberver seat. As many people as u can get. Speed around 11.8. Boat sits level in water and gives a good wave
  7. Ri217 Garage Specs

    Seems like u guys are missing a couple zeros for land cost... Tough to even find an acre available for sale in BC, much less for anything under 1,000,000.
  8. Breaker is front port side. The reset flips downward on mine and was difficult to see the black arm sticking down. But easy to hit the red button to break the connection. Also check that your gear selector cable is connected as we had ours bumped off during a service and was a frustration as we thought it was in neutral for a while...
  9. Pull the rear compartment side out get in and have a look around while somenes turning it over. Could b a winterizing plug fell out or is loose.. does your bilge come on often while driving?
  10. Possibly left over or spilled oil from an oil change or a leaking gasket somewhere on the engine.
  11. Surf rpm's

    So here in the fraser valley of BC I noticed yesterday that i was running an extra 100- 150 rpm due to the air quality. Its been exceptionally smokey this week so add that to theblist of possible explanations for extra rpms On 08 avalanche with suck gate we typically run 3100-3150 with a full level boat complement of bags and people. Yesterday 3300 +/- 20. Used to be around 2700 on a listed setup but does anyone run listed anymore?
  12. Yep. All but 1 bokt fell out. Ended up twisting the driveshaft before the last bolt broke. Use extra locktite and itll b good
  13. Maybe a picture of the finished product for better understanding of what ur making?
  14. 05 Avy w/ switchblade

    excellent option. wish mine had that option. check out DJ JameZ on instagram.
  15. 2008 avalanche 14in prop

    must be running a ton of ballast then. I had 10 ppl, 2-1100lb out back, hard center, 700 under observer, and 400 in bow last week at 950ft elevation and we had no issue getting up to 20mph. I assume you have the black scorpion motor as well?
  16. 2008 avalanche 14in prop

    12" Pitch is super short, are you located at a high altitude? 1679 is the recommended prop for high altitude for the avalanche.. it runs 13 3/4" pitch
  17. How many hours do you have?

    225 hrs. 20 hrs last week. Was first week of season. Owned since 65 hrs. Purchased in october 2014. Its a 2008 avalanche and it was a repo boat in 2009.
  18. new board advice

    http://windwardhosting.com/shuswap/part/17091~~2017-Diamond-Cl-Wakesurfer---by-Phase-5 this is the board I went with recently and we absolutely love it, super easy to ride plus its coming from Canada so take 30% off the price when you convert to USD (real dollars). when I ordered I called them up and they can get any board your after.
  19. June pics and videos

    Osoyoos lake, oroville washington. We went to 'merica for canada day.
  20. What paperwork do u require to take your personal boat into the states for personal use.. Coming up to a first trip across the border with my boat and want to be prepared as we are driving a couple hours before reaching the border. Have copy of original bill of sale. Registration document. Trailer insurance papers. Anything else I will need?
  21. Osoyoos border crossing = awesome. They asked if i owned everything didnt want to see the set of papers i had. No flag no issues. Granted an orange boat is pretty much a floating flag. And the everyone in the boat can drink except the driver while underway is pretty awesome also. Crappiest part of the lake is the excess # of boats pulling tubes.
  22. Adjusts speedometer reading..
  23. In reverse there is a whine. Maybe u have a reverse rotation prop? Double checking everything (fluid levels) is always good.
  24. Might check ur shaft thru hull seal is greased up.
