Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
Maneuvering our boat into the garage requires me to turn the trailer 90 degrees 2 times. Each time, the winch handle is centimeters away from tearing up my tailgate. To remedy this, I removed the retainer bolt, drilled a hole through the shaft, and secure the handle on the shaft with a quick release pin. Works like a charm and no more worrying about tearing up the truck!
So you have to make a tight and slow U turn in reverse to store your boat? That is crazy! How long does that take? Is another alternative to mount the winch handle on the other side of the winch?
