Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

I'm putting a extreme marine platform on my cafe. The problem is if I put it where I think it should go it covers the stern light. If I lower it so you can see the light it's very close to the exhaust. Just wondering if anyone has one on their Cigarette and where is it mounted on the transom. Thanks Scott

I had one on the Top Gun I just sold, and it did cover the light a little but the distance between the light and the step still allowed the transom to be lit.

I don't know if it was a extreme marine platform or not but GLH here on the board had a platform on his old Cafe. Might want to shoot him a PM.

Let me dig

What I have found is the lower the better. High platforms are a pain to get on from the water if they are high...

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

OK found them on my 6 year old son's computer...

I guess you can reference off of this it was a good height for swiming.

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Hope this helps.

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Thats where I thought it should be but it covers the stern light. Did you ever have a problem with it covering the light. Thanks for your help. I think thats where I'm going to mount it. Scott

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Looks a little high to me????? The lower the better, I think :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

mine is the same height as gls old rig..

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

As mentioned above the transom is illuminated and that's hard to miss and you still have the mast light above the cabin door for rear illumination.
I have never had a problem.

They both look good to me now.................Stecz your killin me!!!!!!!!!!! That's one sweet ride... :evilb: :evilb: :D :D

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Did you buy Frank (pocket changes) old boat.

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Mine is covered by both the swim platform and the ski pylon.

On the water

Transom

To make it legal at night, I just re-wired my mast light so that it is on 360 degrees all the time (anchor).

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Old picture, but this is where mine is located. I had to move the tab indicator cables from their original locations becuase I screwed up in my measurements..

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

You guys have been alot of help. Thanks for all the help. I guess it doesn't matter that it's right in behind the stern light. Scott

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

I think they look great on the cigs, exspecially in the water.

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Here is a pic of our's with a good view of the stern light.

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Here is where it is on the Tiger but I don't know if the stern light is at the same height.

Phil told me that he places his platforms lower than most other Cig dealers do. This makes them much easier to use.

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

thanks kramer, i guess ill be hearing that one for a while. cuda is killing me, and thats the truth.... stecz

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

GLH do the exhaust pipes damage the powder coating at all being that close to the platform? Scott

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

No but it gets dirty a little if you idle around a lot and you have blower engines that run a little rich... :D:D:D
Easy to clean however, we have never had a problem and we hang around the swim platform all week end long.... in the summer.

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

I have the same situation on my Cafe. You can still see the light fine from a distance astern. You also have the mast light up front, so you still have 360deg visibility.

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Skramer...yes I do have Franks old Scarab-III....you wouldn't recognize it... all new interior in cockpit and cuddy...added some Scarab lettering.....added superchargers last year,,,14mph increase...Have we met yet...??? I know that Stinger that mkramer has... leopjm ..Jerry knows me

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

I met you last year. You docked at our docks for a few minutes talking to Frank in Mentor. We have the docks with three lifts and two Cigarettes Next to the zoo. Mkramer is my brother but don't tell anyone. He doesn't own that stinger that rastingers. He ownes a 265 baja force. Sounds like you did some nice stuff to the scarab. Are we going to see it in any of the poker runs this year?

Re: Anyone mount an extreme marine platform on a Cafe?
 

Didn't know I was on my other brothers account. Scott

Mkramer, your brother is wrong about you. you dont suck. the one thing that i want to know is how did he become so much cooler than you. was he the brother that got the chicks and you got the left overs, and all the chubbs. if i were a cute chick, let me see baja, or cig.. hmmmm well, good thing im not like that, i like you no matter what you roll in. your ok by me. Mr Wonderful Mkramer, your killing me....
