This Friday I will be traveling to Parker Az. using the 10 Frwy Eastbound. Checking if Rice Road (177/62) is still closed or has road work ongoing? Also checking if Road from 10 frwy through Ehrenberg into Parker still has closures and / or farm road detours? Thanks
I have a Hallett and Noridc / Hallett in Havasu has always provided the Hallett Decal for my tow vehicle, and I appreciate it. But they dont last much longer than 3 or 4 months before the letters start curling. So, Im hoping someone knows of a source for thicker and better quality decals that...
1) I would appreciate replies on recommendations for good and reasonable cost Boat Detailing ( polish / wax gel, clean upholstery, wash trailer) that is located in Havasu City or even in Parker area.
2) I am also looking for a mobile boat wash company that would provide a maintenance...
Like everything else, Bravo 1 props have gone sky high since I bought my last one years ago. I need a new Bravo 1 - 4 blade SS 24p RH that fits a Bravo X drive. ( I believe that both the Bravo 1 and Bravo X drives have the same diameter shaft diameters where the props mount?).
Who is the...
I have a 2020 Escalade with a 6.2 engine. Vehicle has just over 25,000 miles. All engine oil changes have been performed at Cad Dealer using recommended intervals, oil and filter as I am paranoid about having a lifter failure and then faced with arguing service history with the Warranty Dept. I...
Got my new 2022 boat tags. Peeled the backing paper off 1st tag and a very thin section of the paper backing stuck to the tag. The paper backing that separated is so thin i cant peel it off the tag with my fimegr nail or even a razor blade. So anyone figure out how to remove the thin paper...
I have a Hallett 240 open bow and I will be redoing the interior of my open bow boat soon. I want to add fiber optic lighting ( or similar lighting effect) in both the bow and rear cockpit gunnels. I also want separate low level LED cabin lights in the seat bases too. I want to be able to...
Has anyone been pulled over by the water Sheriff for NOT displaying their Mussel Fee Stickers on their Boat?
I primarily boat on Havasu and up the river through Needles area and I don't want to put another damn sticker on my boat! But I also don’t want to get pulled over by water patrol either...
I have a 2020 Escalade ESV and want to be proactive in preventing the theft of the catalytic converter. I am seeing numerous articles where these converters are being frequently stolen in every city. They either unbolt it or more frequently I read they just use a metal cut off saw and in 3...
I am asking what are the minimum coast guard portable fire extinguisher requirements for my single engine 24' open bow boat. I primarily operate on Lake Havasu waters and once or twice a year in Newport Beach Harbor and along the coast (San Clemente to Long Beach). The engine bay already has a...
I have a 1998 Hallett 240 OB with the original interior. I have two questions for the group:
1) I want to replace all plywood seat frames, seat cushion panels, gunnel trim panels with the new style composite material that theoretically should outlast the life of the boat and me. My existing...
I tried for several days to contact Conquest by phone number on their website (928-680-1400) and all I get is a voice recording. Has anyone done business with them recently?
I have a 1998 502 EFI 415 hp Mercruiser / Bravo X Drive that I am experiencing intermittent erratic idle and stalling. This problem started about 2 years ago. Erratic idle usually starts after the engine has warmed up and when the outdrive is in gear at a no wake speed. Now seems to occur...
I have a friend that seems to believe that towing my boat on AZ 95 and through LHC to a launch ramp may get me a ticket ( being a non essential vehicle, etc). He also believes that while boating on Lake Havasu and up to Needles, the Water Sherrif may also ticket me for operating the boat as...
How are the water levels on Havasu and in particular as the top of the lake merges into the river reserve area? Can you navagate normally from the lake up through the reserve area up to Needles Bridge?
Other than the big Havasu boat shops of Barrett Custom Marine, Prestige Marine, Absolute Speed and Marine, I am looking for a good Havasu mechanic / smaller shop that can work on a Mercruiser 502 EFI that has ignition and / or fuel delivery problems. Thanks for your replies.
So I damaged my Hallett 240 open bow earlier this year. My insurer Progressive Marine quickly labeled it as a total loss / salvage title boat. I intially fought their decision because the cost of the repairs was nowhere close to the Agreed Value Policy payout they would make to me. However after...
I am finally replacing the original smoke plexiglas windscreens on my Hallett 240 openbow. I dont want to use the standard black plastic button cover fasteners again. I know there are probably several options, but i would like to use some type of a custom fastener that looks nice. My first...
