    Fuel gauge not working

    So this spring the fuel gauge in our glastron stopped working. I am wondering how I can diagnose the problem. Is it the gauge of or the sending unit? Thanks

    Guess we are a pontoon family now

    We have made the decision to sell our ski boat. With three kids we just don't use it. Every time we go out, we take the pontoon because of the space. I like the pontoon but I wish it had a little more power. It is a sweetwater 20ft tritoon with a merc 115. I am thinking about upgrading the...

    Can't find a pontoon cover that fits well

    I am trying to find a cover that goes all the way to the deck. I have purchased a couple different brands that I am having the same issue. Even if I put the bimini as far down as it goes, the cover in back does not reach the deck. Is there any manufacturer that accommodates for the extra...

    Ski Boat or Pontoon

    So here is our dilemma. About 5 years ago my wife and I purchased a 2003 glastron gx185 ski boat. We love the boat and it is in great condition. After having a couple kids we realized we needed more space and opted to find a larger boat. We fell in love with the space and comfort of the...

    Pontoon Cover suggestions

    This year we are going to be storing our pontoon outside and we are looking for a coverage that will cover the entire deck. The factory cover snaps on but a pain to snap on and it does not completely cover the deck. We are looking for a couple different options. 1. A good cover to...

    Do trailer slides work make that big of difference?

    Bought trailer slides for our pontoon trailer because getting the boat that last 6 inches was a big strain on the winch and stairs. I have not installed yet but how much of a difference does it make? It was a couple hundred for them and not sure on keeping.

    Bonehead move

    So I went out on the lake today and for some reason forgot turn the motor off before I pulled the boat out. It was running no more than a minute out of the water before I turned it off. Also the intake was full of seaweed. Did I do damage to a new engine. It's a merc 115. Is there an overheat...

    Thoughts on this sound system setup

    Here is what I am thinking. I want to add two 6.5" tower speakers to the front boat to use when we are at and sand bar. I want to be able to control the volume for the two outside speakers and the 4 cabin speakers independent. That we can rock music outside the boat and people can just relax...

    Lifting strakes and bunk position.

    Our pontoon has lifting strakes on the inside of the outside pontoons. I noticed while on the trailer the boat is resting in the lifting strake. Is this ok?

    Trailering is a pain

    Guys, what is the secret to get a pontoon to load on the trailer correct. For some reason I cannot get it to get up to the front. When I crank the boat up it just won't move. Will bunk slides solve this?

    Pontoon Wrap

    So we purchased a new sweetwater in burgundy and my wife would like to spice up the look. We are going to wrap the boat and give it a more hip look. The shop will have it done by next weekend. The problem is finding something we both like. I really like this torn metal look...

    Center bunk help

    Re: Center bunk help Pic may help On a side note, I don't want to deal with the trailer manufacturer or the dealer. I don't want to deal with the dealer because I pointed this out to the tech and he said it was fine and will settle. I was thinking what the....
