I used the 80 mil, and just kind of eyeballed how to arrange it to be most efficient.Quote:

Based on this and others across the internet, I went with it. Hoping the pin doesn't cause us issue. I like the idea of not sitting on the bolster at all times.Quote:

Trying to keep the plastic from vibrating in the tracks.Quote:

To be honest it’s hard to say about the floor since I did it all at the same time. I’d try what you have and go from there before going through the trouble.
I ordered a batch, I'll try the dog house 1st then maybe under the center engine hatch storage tray.
I ordered some 3/8" thick adhesive backed sound insulation and did just the transmission cover on my Makai. It made a difference, but you can still hear the whine. I will do the floor panel next. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...33c25dc52a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1b46094988.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c7c5a06df1.jpg

Kenny, I installed the seat riser on Moe Bubbles. Best mod I have done so far. Supper easy to install. 10 minutes maybe.
Followed this as I said before and did the dog house and the engine dividers. Was not that loud at all over the weekend. Installing my engine tray this weekend and I will cover the under side of it also.
Took advice and install the adjustable driver's seat mount. 12-18" - sitting on 15" increase now to see over the window tint. Wife loves it and she doesn't need the bolster now unless docking. Much more comfortable on the legs.
I'm thinking of getting one. Wife always has to stand when pulling me and I always have to sit on the bolster when it's rough and I need to see good. Is the pedestal secure and doesn't wobble? I want a taller base but also want it to feel tight and secure with no major wobble or movement when on the lake. Let me know y'alls thoughts who have upgraded the riser to the Garelick/EEz-In Blue Water Pedestal. Would love to hear a long term review now that the murder max has had it for a while.Quote:

We love it. So much easier to see and the bolster now supports your legs and my wife does not have to stand. If you get the pin 100% engaged, then tighten the handle all the way, it does not move. We leave the swivel slightly loose so we can rotate, but no other movement.
Install is super easy, phillips screwdriver and about 10 minutes while the family was getting packed for the lake.
Perfect and thanks. We will be buying one soon!
I’ve had a couple people ask me about the seat hinges as apparently Great Lakes doesn’t carry them anymore. Here is the item #/description:
“Lund Boat Complex Piano Hinge - 2008307 - 17 1/2” x 6 1/2” aluminum”
Looks like eBay had a listing a one point but sold out currently. The important thing is that it make a “Z” shape when folded shut.
I really wished they would have added a section of fiberglass under the long cushions. Then we could have the standard side triangular hinges everyone else uses these days. Such a shortsighted design in that regard but I bet the next major Max version will have adjustments made to incorporate more fiberglass bracing and hinges can be added. While they’re at it they should redesign the bow so that A) cup holders can exist on the side with redesigned upholstery B) cushions can be redesigned so that hinges can be add. I hate how heavy the front cushions are and the shape/design of them allows them to easily drop....err... fall into the storage compartment.
I finally added some sound dampening to the floor pan/bottom of the boat. I honestly can't tell if this made any further difference or not..https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c617040870.jpgQuote:

Thanks for sharing HFarr. I was wondering about doing the floor. Seems like the trans cover is the most impactful. Wondering about behind seat and sides? I see that members are doing this but Has anybody seen/ heard a significant difference with these? What about the underside of the tray? My fear on this one would be that if it came unglued, it would be right above the engine.
Update on my ‘21 Craz - the dealer recorded the whining sound and sent it to Moomba. Apparently, there are a number of complaints about the noise from the v-drives and they are having to replace them. Of course, they are on back order so just have to live with it for now. Dealer told me they see a large range of whining from extreme to almost silent. Depends on tolerances.
Wow! That's pretty interesting about them replacing drives due to the noise. But good for them if the will! That impresses me. I will mention that to my dealer when I take it in for service. On the sound dampening: When I took the floor up, the first thing I noticed is how the gas tank would seem to block most of the sound getting that far up. But, I had it up so I put on the mat anyway. I have thought about the back of the engine bay, but I think the trans cover had the most impact on sound. There is a thick foam seat back there already. When the ballast bags are full, I would think they block the sides pretty well.Quote:

Do you happen to remember what size socket or Allen head I need to remove the pedestal bolts? My boat is in storage but I wanted to head down this weekend to install the new pedestal.
On my Helix it was #3 philips pan head screws.
Thanks. I guess I’ll just take a lm assortment of tools just in case mine is different.
How do I remove this plastic sleeve off the stock pedestal? I need to reuse it on the new adjustable pedestal. I am at the storage unit without a rubber mallet. Any ideas while I’m here?

Got the new adjustable pedestal in! Yea it’s a pain to push in that pin to raise or lower it but I didn’t really get this thing to actively change it often. More of a set it and forget kind of thing once I find the height I like. So far I have it set around 1.5-2” over stock height and that seems like it will be nice! I’ll just be glad to ditch using the bolster. Seat height can now go from stock 19” up to 24”!!

Nope, just used screws from underneath. Btw this has been one of the best mods I’ve done, so much easier for everyone.Quote:

When I looked last winter everyone was sold out and prices were triple.
If you find them let me know where. I want to add them to my mojo.
