  1. I just ordered this (paid a lot less than that for it though): http://www.amazon.com/Alpine-MC10-Marine-Remote-Commander/dp/B002C0OVVK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313280682&sr=8-1

     

    But I'm having trouble deciding if I want to go above or below the rub rail, and port or starbord side. On the back of the boat for sure.

    It is 100% waterproof so that's not a concern. I was leaning towards starboard above the rub rail, but I wonder if that will be too high for shorter people swiming that want to use it. FYI the swim deck is about 2" above the water when the boat is in (about 2" below with both 500lb ballast tanks filled in the rear, 1" with the front tank also filled).

  2. 4l60/e/700s really dont like have a brake in them. Talked with several high end tranny builders about putting on in the s10 and they advised against it.

    Rossler IS a high-end tranny builder, and has had a lot of very wild cars run their trannies.

     

    you'll also need a different cross member and a way to mount the torque arm if you run the 400.

    They also sell bolt-in crossmember kits for the Glide, 350, and 4L80E.

    Though I'd just do this: http://www.bmrsuspension.com/index.cfm?page=products&vehicleid=6&maincatid=58&catid=169&productid=320

  3. Looks like the boat alternator is starting to take a shit. It will intermitently stop charging about 2500 RPM or so, then not start charging again until it is back to idle. Other times it works fine - started doing it the last two times I had her out. Not preventing me from boating (good deep cycle battery in it), but I am sure it will only get worse.

     

    Indmar anything is expensive, so I figure rebuilding is the cheaper route. Any places up north with a decent turn-around time? I don't want to miss out on any boating because of this.

  4. Assuming you want the cheapest (wifi only 16GB) and used, Amazon has them for upper 300's. eBay in the lower 300's, but should be able to Craigslist one for under 300. Apple no longer has the 350 deal on refurbs, they are back up to 430 now...and at that price I would pay 70 more for a new iPad 2.
