Nice! Congratulations, your in for a fun summer!

Which cable is it?

Port side trim indicator cable... It's stuck and I don't feel safe running it with out knowing where my drive is

And by port.... I ment starboard....

Looks like a teleflex extreme cable 22 ft length.

Shop around at different vendors for best price. Just google "teleflex cables".

Can you tell the. 22 foot by the #?

CC633 "22" 22 being the length

Most control cables are available in lengths from 6 to 50 feet.See the Teleflex Marine list price sheet for
current offering. Where Part Numbers are indicated, XX = length in feet. Lengths above 30 feet are only
available in two-foot increments (32, 34, 36, etc)


TFXTREME 3300 cable (premium) .... CC633XX

Extreme cables are black in color, regular cables are red.

Thank you fastech, Has anyone tried to cut the bottoms out of any of the cabin seats or bed....... This thing has no storage room..... I just keep thinking there has to be a reason why......

Congrats on your purchase MP!! Let me know what you find if you cut in the spaces under the seats in the cabin. I am guessing it's filled with foam to meet coast guard requirements for buoyancy.

I hope not...... This boat needs those seat to come off and have storage. The lack of places to store things is re-cock-u-less.

I'm pickin up what you're layin down, I would like the extra storage as well. If it is foam filled, it could be really messy cleaning that out.

This is the next project.... Someone befor me lefty the ladder down and hit it with the props..... I'm going to have it wielded and then coat it with plastic cost. I'm thinking about taking the bottom rung off so I don't have a chance of having the same problem

Took the boat out for th first I e this weekend ..... Ran good for m.

And as it turns out they put the magnet in this model [ATTACH=CONFIG]503666[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]503665[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]503664[/ATTACH]

:eekdrop:

mptrimshop...I am a Donzi guy myself. We have a 03 ZXO. I'm up the road in Yorkville, Ill have to catch up on the river with you.

Heck ya man.... Do you boat on the Kankakee river?

Never have yet, we hit the Illinois a few times a year but we do most of our boating up in Lake Geneva, we have a place about 4 blocks from the water. We also hit the Ozarks 1-3 times a summer( depends on fuel cost and how much snow I can plow in the winter).

I have a few friends that do a golf trip up there every year ..... I think I'm going to go next year and bring the boat. Where do you go to the Illinois at?

When we hit the river I always use Illini state park and head up to Morris.
I did not mean to hijack your post, but just wanted to say hello. Boat looks great, so do the "accessories"!

Buy the way we have a great welder here in town that can get your ladder fixed, and re powder coated. Let me know if you are interested.

It's done I just forgot to take some pics ...... Morris is one pool west of where I boat.... But will run in Morris this year to, it only and extra 10 min drive from my house.....

Well all the work to fix the ladder is a waste now.....

New gauges

She's strong.

Just call Josh @ Donzidirect.com and see if he has new ones. Josh will probably also know what is under your cabin seats, irt your question about storage.

I installed the three step telescoping ladder. L6T43200. Direct replacement. They also have the factory one.

Gages look nice, that had to be a few $$

Thanks... I got the used on here... I like em

Looking good, how you like the way it runs?

I love the boat...... It has giving my 0 motor issues and nothing major at all. I would like to find a few more MPH outa her but we are looking for that. It's a blast to drive.

Shoot out!!
