Hello,
I am the new owner of a 2004 SX230. I want to get this thing some TLC and get it fixed up.
1) What do you guys do with the boat if you have to work on the trailer? I need to replace the axles, brakes wheels etc on the trailer. Trailer body is great wheels and axles are junk.
2) I am pretty handy, and want to install a 2nd battery. Any tips on what kind of battery to get? Also tips on where to get the battery holder, which dial to get (don't know the name) that lets you turn from 1, 2, or both? I'm worried about drilling holes into the floor of where current battery is, but maybe self tapping screws are fine for battery holder?
3) I bought a 7" garming GPS/Fish finder. Where would be a good spot to mount this, and would it be a bad idea to mount the sensor myself? Do you typically run the wire drill a small hole and fill it with a marine grade caulk?
4) The previous owner installed a wakeboard tower, and had a custom top made for this. There are 2 parts to the top, a front before the windows and rear covering the windows back. Somehow he lost the front piece. It has snaps. I can't just find this somewhere my only option is to go custom right? First quote I got was $250. Working on other quotes.
Thanks all! I'm sure there's other questions. Will be working on this all weekend. Just want to get things together.
