Curious if anyone has done a replacement of the Berber carpet with the vinyl weave products. If so, how do you like it? Also, if you have a source for precut online that would be appreciated as well. Looking for replacement for a 2003 SD 220
But what do I really want. I'd like a manual that explains components and has diagrams. I don't need to know how to use my boat...I need information on what each component in the engine compartment/drive is.
What manual am I after? 2003 SD, Alpha with fuel injection.
Looking at getting one and was wanting to hear the good bad and ugly.
I'll be towing short distances <4 hours in moderate hills, my current 4Runner is not up to the task.
Boat is a 220SD Close to 5.5K with load and trailer. 4 wheel discs on the trailer.
Hey, went out last night and was cruising around. Noticed my engine temp was always around 170 and then a few weeks ago it would climb to over 200 and stay there. No alarms or anything so i didn't worry about it.
Last night, went for a cruise and it was back up around 200. Stopped and had...
So, noticed this week that my anchor light switch and other indicator lights on my peanut are illuminated even when they are off. Also, can't turn the nav lights off and leave anchor on.

Love her to death, but am having some issues...yes, it's a 2003 so that is to be expected...and part of boat ownership

So used boat that i've had for about 1.5 years.
Previous owner added a second battery and isolator kit. I added a NOCO 2 bank smart charger.
Boat started slowly a couple of times and dropped from 13vdc to 12.3vdc in fairly short order while listening to the radio with the engine off.
I've...
I have my radio on all the time when i'm on the water. Antenna up and just feel like it's my responsibility to make sure I'm aware of anything on the river.
Last week, wife and i were floating downstream from a lock/dam and a barge just locked through. He blew his horn when he was at least...
2003 220SD, cockpit cover doesn't cover the blower intake/exhaust...Wasps love this and are constantly heading in there.
Anybody have any tricks or ideas about keep them out of there?
So, we don't utilize the OEM Igloo cooler found under the helm. My wife has asked me to fabricate something to store items like sunscreen, keys wallets and so forth.
Has anyone done anything similar? I think I'd like to purchase a prefabbed 2 or 3 drawer storage unit and bolt it to the OEM...

So bought boat last Summer. Had impeller changed along with gear lube and engine oil all at Marina.
Got it out this year and after two or three small trips (approximately 30-40 mins each) came back and put it on the lift.
Went to take it out this...
