Let me guess, you were just coming out of the Sandusky channel, right?

Thanks.

Not this time, but that channel does kick up. This was during the Lakeside Weiner run down in Cleveland last June. I was somewhere behind the Cleveland breakwall when he caught the perfect shot.

Thinking of Summer..

I have a 330SS with same access door which I took off and replaced with a panel of starboard a little larger. I then mounted a 9" Alpine Marine Speaker in the panel and one more on the port side, Looks and sounds great .. I can actually hear music while running ! If I need access the speaker is easy to remove.

I am also trying to open that storage compartment on my boat 1993 formula 271. I tried fiddiling around with a screwdriver and couldnt get it to budge. When i went to west marine and asked about those keys they had no idea what i was talking about. So then i went online looking for southco keys and you have to match up a certain code on your key in order to order the correct one. I thought these were all one key fits all locks? any more help would be appreciated. I cant get the code off the key obviously because i dont have the key.

Thanks for your help.

That's what I thought also, really looks like Cedar Point.

In any event, Axapowell and I went out there a couple of years ago and that channel out Sandusky into the lake can be a handful!! We were out there for four days and the wind blew like mad for 3.75 of those days!!!! Cool area though.

Sandusky Bay is my home port, and while the bay is always managable when the winds kick up, the channel is another story. When the winds blow out of the N/NW that channel can get pretty hairy. I surfed in on 7 to 8 footers more then once, and drove against them plenty of times determined to booze it up on the Islands.

7 or 8 footers wouldnt be so bad but the waves in that channel are extremely short when the winds are blowing, like 20ft apart. But I do love it there.
