2 Things That really Bugged Me!

[Codger2]

Although I love being out on the water, I hated dealing with my black hose & it's eternal winding around the dock box. Add to this a 220a power cord whos connection was quite a reach from the dock! (Not to mention the old style threaded ring that I cross threaded more than I care to admit.) These two things kept me from taking the boat out much more often.

Enter a new 220a Smart Plug (next week) and a 75' hose reel!
Now, rinsing the boat off with DI water after each outing is a piece of cake! (Not to mention plugging in the power cord without a threaded ring.)

The reel also has a "quick disconnect" that allows me to push a tab and remove the reel and hose from its mount and store it in the dock box. No more boat washers stealing my hose nozzle or using my DI water.)

Art, You've hit the nail squarely on the head! Anything I can do to make this docking/undocking process simpler & faster I'm for! (Also, I'm staring down the barrels of being 75 and unlike you young guys, I'm not that mobile anymore.)

The Smartplugs make life much easier when getting back to the slip after dark, no fumbling around getting the old style lined up and the lock ring started.

Ditto. The more inconveniences there are to using your boat, the less you'll use it. I'm a firm believer in making it easy to decide to go, even if means a little more upkeep owing to having (for example) fewer sun-covers.
