Just wanted to introduce myself as another new Four Winns owner. We recently purchased a 2008 H180 with the VP 3.0L engine. The boat had never been titled, so was in great shape! This is my wife and my first boat, but we both have been boating most of our lives. Unfortunately with work and the ever-changing weather situation here in WI we have only had her out for about an hour on the day we picked it up. Just wanted to say hello, have been lurking around here extensively both before and after the purchase of the boat and this board is awesome. I have already learned so much. Below is the obligatory pic to prove I'm not lying
A couple quick questions...
1) I am a bit of an audiophile and so have already started thinking about upgrading the stock speakers. I have installed the Polk DB651's in my Trailblazer and really like their sound and great value. I pulled the covers off the stock speakers today and it looks like they would be an easy install. Has anyone swapped their speakers in an H180? Is their ample speaker wire back there? Any other potential pitfalls I should be aware off?
2) The boat came with the stock single axle trailer w/ the swing tongue. I have been trying to figure out a way to lock the trailer when it is attached to the tow vehicle. I already have a locking hitch pin so that they can't simply take the whole ball mount off and stick it in their hitch, but I would like to lock the trailer onto the ball so that they can't simply unhook the trailer... anyone have any success with different coupler locks? I have tried 2 so far (one from MasterLock, and a large brass padlock) with no luck, the span on both was too short.
Thanks everyone!
