Anybody install the bow shade after the fact?

Anybody install the bow shade after the fact?

I have a 2019 outrage 230. I want to add the bow sunshade to it, but don’t have what looks like rod holder on the bow. Has anyone installed one of these before? Is that a part of the kit or would I need to order something separate?

Thanks!

Will my brakes still work?

Hey folks. I posted on here a while ago about my trailer brakes. Dad someone pulled away from the trailer with the breakaway cable attached. I have a Dexter/UFP A75 surge brake tongue on it. The cable broke completely. However, because I had the mechanical lockout in (we were moving it with a forklift) the brakes weren’t locked up. I got the wrong part in, then realized I was in over my head anyways taking it apart so the plan became: get the boat in the water, then bring the empty trailer to the trailer service center.

I’m planning on splashing the boat for the season tomorrow. If I take this mechanical lockout off, will the brakes function like normal, less the breakaway cable? I’ve only gotta go 4 miles to the ramp but I’m still nervous about it. I’m also nervous about the lockout getting damaged or damaging the tongue.

But I’m far more nervous that for some reason I’ll pull it out, hit the brakes once and they won’t unlock. Is this a possibility? Or am I overthinking it?

Thanks!

Seasonal wash and wax - what are you using?

Hey folks! That time of year to get the boat out, washed and waxed before it goes in the slip.

Just had a quick question about what you guys are using for a soap; are you using a strip wash and stripping all the old wax? Or just get it good and clean with a regular soap and wax from there?

Also, what do you use for polish? My t-top needs a little attention. Thanks guys!

Banding on PLA print - Bambu X2D

Hey folks. I’m trying to print this toilet paper holder I found on printables. Dropped it into the Bambu slicer, .12mm layer height to try to make it more presentable. Otherwise it’s default settings.

I’ve seen a video on YouTube where the issue was varying speed (it’ll slow down for more intricate parts and they cool differently?) that seems like it might be the case here. Where it has longer sections it prints faster. I can’t remember what setting they changed though.

It’s Sunlu PLA.

Do you have any ideas? Thanks!
