My dealer is Land O'lakes Marine in Land O'lakes FL and they had a local vendor make me a color matched (yellow) bimini to fit my factory tower. It fit better and was cheaper than the factory grey...

Standard Equipment Issues
My newly delivered 2004 Outback came with a 2003 edition Owners' Manual and with no fire extinguisher, which both the '03 and 04 sales brochures say is included standard safety equipment. My dealer...

Jeff Burnside;
Thanks for the input. I had to exclude the V-drive from consideration on the basis of both cost and draft. I spend most of the year in some pretty thin water in Clearwater Bay... -

This is not encouraging. If the regular Outback is just a slalom hull, I can't understand why Skiers Choice shows it with the optional tower in their 04 brochure, or why my local dealer orders in...

You can probably save a bunch by looking up an independent repair shop for this. The part will probably be about the same, but you'll should be able to save on labor. I used a small... -

My experience has taught me to NEVER tow any distance without both a bow tie-down (not the winch strap) and transom tie-downs on either side. The heavier your boat is, the more momentum it will...

I am expecting delivery next week of an 04 Outback with factory installed tower, but with no ballast or wakeplate. I'm wondering the same thing; i.e., is the hull on the Outback the same as the...

I've had problems with both steering and throttle/shift cables stiffening up on previous boats (not Moomba). This is especially a problem if you operate a lot in salt water, as I do. The solution...

Thanks, GW.
Your link to the Orlando City Muni Code was helpful. I see that I apparently need a permit from city hall to use the listed lakes. However, I didn't find any basis in the Chapter 35... -

For carsondoc.
If your 03 is a standard Outback (not LS), I presume your boat came with a small deflector plate installed on the hull bottom directly above the rudder. Did you have to remove this... -

Does anyone know of some decent lakes near Orlando that have PUBLIC ACCESS boat ramps? My daughter is in school at UCF and wants me to trail over some weekend.
