It sounds as if they mount them there typically, but have seen several post that their dealer moves them elsewhere and gets the deep drop in for that locker. With the shriveling need for oil reservoirs why wouldnt they mount it in the hidden box on the starboard side instead?I didnt really like it when I first saw it in the storage bin because I didnt want to lose the storage. And after I got home I was reading through the Bass Cat brochure and on page 18 it says “Power pole access can be exposed under the removable port storage box tray” so that makes me think the pumps can go under the bin.

One of my granddaughters is on the autism spectrum and the new horn really bothers her (annoys me too). It is really loud and it must have something to do with a minimum decibel level required.
jignpig wrote:Nope. Never have been owner manuals for the boat. Use the “search” button at the top as well as the FAQ section. You can post questions about anything on your boat EXCEPT the security alarm set up. They dont post how to set alarm for obvious reasons. For that you would need to call your dealer or the company with your BIN #.OK, the security system is 1 of the things I was wondering about.

Doesnt the aeration pump fresh water into the livewell? Also, when the livewell lever is on “auto” what is automatic about it? Will it fill the livewell automatically without pushing any buttons?Pump in does just that. It pumps water into the livewell. Aeration is Recirculation while also adding some water at the same time. Is the pump-in a completely separate pump?
This boat is sold.
Ive replaced them with the boat on the trailer with no problem if the boat is not tight up against the roller. Usually the weight of the boat is not on the roller.
I have a 2018 Caracal with a 225 SHO and a SHO Vmax 25-T2 151/8 prop. With 2 people in the boat the most I can get is about 4900 RPM and 50-53 MPH with the motor trimmed about half way up, by myself on flat water I can get about 5200-5300 RPM and 60-62 MPH with the motor trimmed all the way to the point of chine walk. Is this normal?

I have spoken to my dealer about this several times and every time he blows me off with the same response that “I’ll talk to the factory and get back to you” , and of course I never hear back from him.
The drain plug on my 2018 Caracal is a pain also. Not only is it difficult to unscrew but mine leaked also. I had to remove the fitting and reseal it.
