Onebgfish took his baby out this morning to see if there are any more problems before taking it back to the dealer. Fingers crossed!

Well problem one… got pulled by a cop. Wires came undone for lights.. So not funny.. He is such a pro with boats. This is not Bass Cats fault but the dealer did give him the wrong stuff. I am angry for him.

gem63, You folks really do have a good dealership. We dont know what went amiss with this delivery, though they have delivered hundreds of bass boats and well over 100 BCB models alone and nary a hiccup do we hear about. The usual details are not generally overlooked there. The light plug coming undone is generally routing on the wires, so be sure that it is where it wont be pulled loose when turning. If it is too short, then it is because we keep our wires shorter on the trailer to prevent them from dragging, which is more common than too short, and the location of your vehicles plug location is the other possible issue. The folks at Pops Marine are really good at taking care of the customer. Just have him slip in and let Charles know what he is up against. They wont turn away. BCB

You would have to have the five pin harness in either case. And you can get the wires the length you need then. The brakes will lock up without the five pin harness that cuts the solenoid in to shut off the brake fluid. If you have the seven pin plug in the rear, then you can get a Wesbar harness that plugs into that. Most just stick the tags in the vehicle. We pull all across the country and hardly ever get pulled over without a tag. A few states do not have hard tags or trailer registrations.

KY doesnt require tags on boat trailers. Do I need to get one to stay legal when I go to another state? Ive been to Nashville and Old Hickory several times but had no problems. Need to get one, I guess, or stay in state. Nice looking boat, by the way..

Each state is different concerning boat tags. When I lived in AL they didnt require a tag for trailers unless you pulled it out of state. The paper or cardboard tags are temporary tags just like the temp car tags. You definitely dont want them on the trailer when backing down a ramp. Simply tape them to the back window and you should be fine. Congrats on the new cat. Give Pops Marine a chance and they will definitely get you taken care of. Good fishing – Richard
