    • Thanks for the replies. You think the mems system could be telling the blower and bilge pump to turn on when only flipping the bilge switch?

      just a heads up, my blower is on a timer (or so it seems). If I unplug my battery and plug it back in, my blower will run for say 3 minutes and then turn off. 

      My bilge pump will auto kick on if there is water in the bilge. I am going to double check to make sure there isn’t something wrong with the float but that is how it has worked in the past. 

      I was also screwing around trying to find a loose wire or connection and was flipping the bilge switch a bunch. Say 15 times total. Of those 15 times 3 times it functioned properly and only the bilge came on.

      Looking for a sleeker USCG vest for my wife.  I have a liquid force Watson I like quite a bit wondering if there's a model very similar in a ladies cut/color rather than just buying a smaller men's jacket.

      Google not too helpful here hoping the crew knows.

      30 different options right here.

    • I would try calling tower biminis. I looked into it for our 2013 TXi back in 2016-17 and I think I remember it being less than what you were quoted. BUT… that was a while so I could be wrong and or the pricing has probably changed. 

    • Just curious how you think it stacks up against the rest. I kinda jumped on the deal I got. I was very impressed with the boat but I didn't really go looking at much else just a 23 lsv but preferred the 220. Coming from 2012 vlx it's leaps and bounds in my opinion, but like I said I didn't look outside of malibu. And am limited to length due to garage space. 

    • I had both.  The large (26lbs) is plenty big, I had a few tie-ups where I had the only anchor and it held really well in waters less than 25' deep.  Unless you're in deeper water or higher winds or tying up and you're the only anchor then I'd get the small (19lbs), but for overnight offshore anchoring it was nice to know the big one would definitely hold if winds picked up. 

      FYI: they say you only need a 2:1 scope but with wind it holds much better with around 4:1.
