Count me in too. Still working at one.

Definitely extends to the 2015 and 2016’s too.  Any of them with the screen on the right seem to have a 100% failure rate.  As far as the big main screen goes, they seem like they’re better designed and don’t fail as often - at least judging off TMC posts that is.

Great looking boat and set up.  Congrats on the new purchase!  You are going to find yourself loving all the new tech and features!  (I will spare the jokes on the Kent St flag....Can't read, can't write....LOL.  MAC educated from OH here, as well  ...)

 

Thanks!  I am an OU Bobcast myself, so I make fun of the Kent flag too, LOL.

Just picked up a 2003 VLX and I'm the third owner and have a few questions... 1. What type of lock are people using to secure tongue of the trailer? I have the ball lock and a long shanked lock  and neither will work because the head of the tongue on trailer is squared and the ball lock bar will not go all the way thru locking plate and the key lock isn't long enough to go thru receiver horizontally. Neither the ball lock nor the long shanked will work. The locks I have worked on my previous boat trailer which was a mastercraft prostar 205V but will not work on this one. 2. It came with the bimini that mounts under the tower but I was wondering does anyone make a bimini that mounts on top of the tower? 3. Can anyone tell me if this a factory tower and if so what it is called?

Or maybe just plan to drop off one the tech is ready and plan to pick up once techs are done. No storing it there while waiting on parts etc.

Ya that’s my plan, including for 10hr service. I service my own stuff but know they require dealer service for the warranty so I told them I’ll do it with them or sit and watch but it’s not getting checked into the system for service until completed and I’m pulling out of the parking lot (and under no circumstance staying overnight).
