Appears to be a market for them as in Calif. when they are available at dealers they sell like hot cakes, especially ones like the new Vexus models. (which are not inexpensive at all)

I have a 2001 Pantera III w/200hp Optimax and guessed towing weight at approx. 4300# or so. Am I that far off as boat, motor, trailer rigged should be higher than the mid 3,000# – at least I think?

Is it better to run the larger wires instead of trying to match the size to the units power cord? I’ll check to see if I can feel the cut out sections in the gunnels in the rod box to just tie too.
