okay I'm an one-who-thinks-I-am-silly, last year my wife twisted my arm into getting a pontoon boat at the lake (I thought the ProV was plenty family friendly!!!) So, when I bought it I picked out a lowrance dual gps/sonar unit at Reeds and to my surprise it did not come with the gps module. I found this out after the pontoon was 190 miles from the dealer and on our lake (for those of you that haven't had the joy of hauling a pontoon on a "trailer" it will test your trailering skills to not dump the thing it's like a teeter totter). So...my question is when I install the gps module is it as easy as finding a good spot for it and then plugging it into the unit (like the power or transducer cables) or is it more involved than that?
I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage. Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.
Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....
Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.
Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.
Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
