Why are those mounts so expensive?

This will be a permanent course put in by Jon Travers. I'm hoping some of you will come by and help me break it in over the next few months. I'm just a newbie learning to ski and hoping I can improve with my own course. @GWaterski???

Just shy of 5 months after my application to the State of Florida, the permit for my slalom course arrived today! Now I just need to coordinate an installation date with Travers. Very exciting for me!

I thought the sealer made it slick? I've been using the Starbrite teak oil after I used the refurbish kit cleaner and brightener.

Fascinating stuff. Great concepts for this newbie.

Just ordered the TRD replacement kit after a nice chat with them. This will replace my 4 cluster gauge and add a GPS controlled speedometer. My existing tach and PP will remain for now. They assured me that their instructions and phone support will allow me to do this installation myself. They are even hopeful I will have a functioning fuel gauge. I'll keep everyone posted.

A working fuel gauge would be a dream come true. Sadly, I doubt replacing the dash gauges would help me there. Even new boats rarely have accurate fuel gauges! Why do we tolerate this?

That looks great. I'm not sure if fuel, oil pressure and volt gauges failed all at once or sequentially. The engine temp gauge is still working along with the speedometer, tach and the speedo on my PP. While it would be nice to know the oil pressure and voltage, I doubt the fuel gauge will work (they never do) if I replace. I will have to consider if this is actually worth the money and effort.

This looks most promising. Hopefully this conversion is something I can do myself.

Thanks for the tip.

My 4 in 1 guage cluster only shows the engine temp. Is there any way to know if replacing the entire cluster will bring the other 3 guages back to life? This part is nearly $800, and I don't want to spend the money if its an issue with other sensors. https://www.malibuparts.com/products/dash-4-in-1-gauge-1-3727014

Wow. Malibu really in the crapper now!

Great concept! I selfishly hope this does not cut down on people posting videos here on BOS for critique. As a novice, I've learned quite a bit from those threads.

Lots of free skiing this weekend. I hope to have my new course in the lake by the end of this month!
