    Installing new radio remote control in SN 196. Need ideas.

    in Boat Talk

    Posted

    I just put a new Clarion radio in my 2004 SN 196. Works great but the remote control that is currently in the boat will not work so I can get a new remote control but it will not fit in the current dashboard configuration. The new remote(not purchased yet is a 3 inch circular device. I am going to have to somehow fabricate a mount unless there is some kind of adapter out there. I would love some ideas from the knowledgeable folks on the forum.

    So what is the latest consensus on 15w-40?

    Sorry if I am starting a new thread on this topic. A couple months ago it seemed that using 15w-40 Rotella was a bad idea. Over the life of my 2004 SN Excaliber I never paid attention to detailed specs, I just always used 15w-40. Some years it may have been Valvoline, some years Rotella. As long as it was 15w-40, that is what I used. So what is the final verdict on this topic. I am about ready for an oil change. Any insight will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    67 inch or 69 inch?

    Thanks @escmanaze I am leaning toward the 69" even though that worries me a bit. But from all of the comments, that might be the way to go. Looks like they won't be available for a few weeks. My days running 34 mph are over. Can't wait to see what the new Senate Lithiums look like.

    Yes, probably a 67 but I have a friend who is 70 and weighs 185 and skis into 32 off at 32 mph and he is on a 69" Senate Graphite. If you think you are not going to go beyond 32 mph you may want to consider a 69" Senate. If you think you are going to possibly go 34 you may want to just get a 67.

     

    Above is the info that @eddie_roberts_jr posted to me. It seems to make sense. A slightly bigger Senate may be the way to go. I just don't want to purchase it and find out I should have stayed with a 67".
