Rick, This is the same thing Gary Hollander told me! He said he had the same setup in a 2007 Puma that would turn 74 MPH with a 27″ Trophy, at 3.25″ below pad. I am a little deeper at 3.5″! I will jack her up a 1/4″ and retest. Thanks for the response! Also, you as well oldtimer57!JamesJames

Wow, what a challenge this is! Thanks very much for the info though. I hope I can find one.The Rodsmiths blank company, are they still in business and if so do you know what name or brands they are operating under?I take it that the HB56C and MB56S (handle/power opposites of the ones you listed) are NOT on the same blank; correct?If you or anyone out there hear of one up for sale, new or even used in good shape, Id appreciate it if youd drop me an email.Thanks again!Deke[font=&QUOT]Deke[/font]

They are not supposed to be the same blank, though both actions are identical. The blanks were built by Rodsmiths and that company is still functioning. With the import rods, you will be pressed to find this exact rod. Though we would not hesitate to give both companies a call. The builder at Rodsmiths was at Castaway. BCB

Take your check book with you because I would be very very surprised if you didnt think the Jag rough water ride was much better than what youre coming out of.

[bassCat1971]

We do not usually make a direct comment on the boats ride, and let you decide. Though a Jaguar should absolutely out ride everything else on the market. There is an estimated 7″ of increased bow rise over the Puma and Cougar hulls. It should be exceptionally dry and if there were a catch it would be speed as it is very large. Though most folks looking at a Jaguar understand it is massive and to be such performance expectations change. BCB

I am planning on checkin it out tonight, I forgot to mention that it came a very hard rain before this happened, could it have got wet?? i can reach under the dash where the buton is & it is very hot when it starts “buzzing”, it just sounded like the pump started “laboring” then the buzzing sound at the button came shortly after

[bassCat1971]

It could be a faulty pump itself, that can be verified by connecting one of the other aerator or bilge pumps to the recirc lead.

[bassCat1971]

I took the boat out today. it ran pretty steady @ 50mph , 4700 rpm does that sound about right?

[bassCat1971]

I want to add that the pleasure boaters….I mean ships…were out in full force. Waves 3-4 coming every which-a-way. Boat handled them great and prop never came out of the water (if that tells you more about setup).I also want to say I meant 400 lbs of fishermen – not fisherman. Two of us, not just me.

[bassCat1971]

took the advise and charged them via a portable charger there is some sort of a small leak causing the 3 batteries to draw down completely thanks

[bassCat1971]

Mike, check the plug on the back of the pad, sounds like the it could have come loose. I believe the pad and box lites are controlled from the pad.

[bassCat1971]

Then we assume the Noco Charger is functioning now? That was the fail safe mode kicking in for safety and prevention of issues on a dead cell or shorted battery.

[bassCat1971]

The switches are a replacement item, they are not really able to be repaired, and if your boat is a 2008 Service would fire one out to you. Tell them to make sure it has bullets on it and there are only two 92) screws. Easier to do it than take it in for a service job. Two screws and two wires plug in. We assume you had your switch on auto also. The Perko latches are able to leak some, though try plumbers grease in the latch to prevent leakage. We dont grease them new as this stiffens the latch, though we do on our own. The oil the tumblers with silicote reel oil. BCB

[bassCat1971]

Yes, they are all controlled by the small panel, though also check for power coming into the dash with a light or meter. BCB
