Hey guys I’m trying to find the under mounted swim ladder you have on your boat.

[@guitar1301]

Where the hell have you been!!! Glad to see new video hope all is well

[@jaredstocks7893]

I’m about to start working on my trim tabs and was just considering adding a power pole. You have the best content out there man and your timing could not be better! Thanks big guy!

[@MEGA_SOKO]

I love my Lenco tabs! I upgraded from the basic switch panel to the controls that have the LED position indicator, this panel also auto retracts the tabs upon key off. Worth the money!

[@Macdog9300]

Glad to see you back brother ! Hope all is well !

[@bigdghost3319]

Great to see your video's again- top 5 channel on the Tube in my opinion - God Bless Brother..

[@brandencb19]

Looks great, one thing run your drill bit in reverse drilling hole into fiberglass then forward helps prevent cracking fiberglass

[@frankfraga295]

Welcome back! I hope it was just a vacation and glad your back.

[@ryanh.8896]

Glad you're back!!!!! Hopefully everything is ok!

[@ronaldlipp1293]

[@marcosa.lopezjr.1313]

Glad yall are back

[@nashathibrahim705]

[@samotisfamily]

Glad y'all are back. The random yamaha in the middle of the yard 🫣

[@scottymagillacutty9363]

You’re back!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@chrisbeaudry2392]

Another great, informative video guys 👊🏻

[@josephtrapanese3310]

I was just rewatching some of your old videos this morning wondering where you went. I hope you are doing alright.

[@CptAJbanned]

Same here. I hope you guys get back in the swing of things soon!

[@TheRick2130]

looks like they are working for themselves now, they will be fine... experience tech with quality of work in florida, they will never run out of work

[@DeepSnowRider]

I’m trying to find that under side swim platform mounted swim ladder you have on your boat?????

[@stephenruss2015]

Y'all were giving each other too much credit there the end LOL but thank you for posting I always learn something from your videos and I greatly appreciate it

[@mikefussell8450]

Another great video. Where have you been? Donny got a haircut. 👍

[@LoveGodLovePeople1987]

yea boyee! get it! you doing your own mobile marine stuff? probably as busy as you want to be. I'm in Naples and will be using this video to get my tabs in at some point ty!

[@robtopham6095]

Just watched the video. I am wondering why you didn't use starboard and attach it to the nuts that were already there? Is starboard not strong enough to handle the pressure? Seems like it would have given you more leeway with the unit to get it out of the water flow which I think you were looking for.

[@noelrmiller]

Welcome back!

[@markwebb8013]

Been a while really missed your how to videos, must have been on a long vacation.

[@iTerence28]

Great video

[@timrainger8908]

Is it always a better option to use stainless machine screws with nut/washer combo if you have backside access or am I overthinking it and for boats just sheetmetal screws are fine?

[@EricRaroha]

Welcome back.

[@timscanlan1466]

I enjoy your content. I wondered what happened to you guys

[@kevinvanlohuizen2709]

Need to replace mine, not sure to go electric or hydraulic. Any recommendations for 22' cruiser?

[@Anthony-du3he]

Oh there he is! Been a while! Just the video i needed too😂 i need tabs on my boat. What do you guys do about cleaning up that 4200/5200 that oozes out? Or leave it be?

[@BornAgainBoating]

We just use simple green or de-greaser quickly, don't let it sit once it oozes out :) you gotta spray it with the de-greaser to keep the surrounding area wet and wipe it off immediately :)

[@Anthony-du3he]

@@BornAgainBoating hey thanks alot!!

[@Jusaguy000]

Good video next time do a walk through of the boat looked interesting.

[@jefferykirk2322]

The bolt holes for the swim😃😃😃😃 platform make a new top mounting bracket, get crafty

[@jacobcarro8284]

Need more videos again please

[@theoncampbell5649]

Finally omg where have you all been bro 😭 😪

[@TheRoadGlideRider]

Wish had seen the wire exiting in the compartment.😮

[@user-vb1lh2ws7d]

멋지네요 Very nice

[@apackwestbound5946]

How did you end up powering the switches and did you add the overcurrent protection since you discussed it during the beginning of the video?

[@BornAgainBoating]

Yup, had to add a fuse up in the helm for it :)

[@luisma1161]

Are you on your own now?

[@akusa3894]

Should of installed a set of ZipWakes

[@kevinvanlohuizen2709]

I'm sure they were chosen by the customer since they were at their house.

[@akusa3894]

Glad you made bail and started posting videos again.

[@robertanderson3282]

100% agree

[@googleuser6440]

I made static trim tabs for my boat,could not afford the shop ones starting at €500 I just use 3mm thick aluminium about 6inch wide by 9 inch long and a piece of stainless steel to bracket it to the boat, cost me nothing as I had all the bits there, couldn't believe the difference they made to the boat, it gets up on plane faster and higher top speed also! Don't be fooled into buying expensive trim tabs, just make your own in 15min and enjoy:)

[@jamesstublen6098]

I love my Lenco tabs I put in last year, but now have two problems with my 18ft Sea Pro. First tabs are pushing water into the outboard motor and causing cavitation and second it creating noise that interferes with my depth finding while under way. Moved sending unit twice and still can’t get good readings while underway. 😢. Thinking of adding stainless angle to direct splash straight back on engine side of tabs. Anyone have any advise?

[@tcap7917]

did you call Lenco? Which tab style and size?

[@jamesstublen6098]

Did not contact them yet. Lenco Marine 15104-102 that are 9 x12 tabs. Could not go out to 4’’ from the end of hull because through hull drains. I know they make a tab that the ends are turned down which would probably help.

[@Eric_Allen]

What did you use for sealant? 5200 or silicone?

[@BornAgainBoating]

3M 4200, we pretty much never use 5200 any more :)

[@staytight6340]

Dudes wearing shorts I'm jealous

[@johngungortekin453]

👍👍🤙🤙

[@bradcranford2264]

Guys! What in the hell is all that background noise 🤯

[@raymondnybakk1311]

Don’t mount this crap, it belongs to the 70. Get ZipWake.

[@MexicoPescadoro]

Good to see you back brother. I like the newer style videos. I'm happy Donny got a haircut because a while ago I thought he was a transitioning male...

[@crowman5936]

THAT'S what I was thinking too. Hahaha.

[@adrianlowe20]

Should drill larger holes then fill with epoxy and then re drill and fill with sealant for a beter seL
