Quick release hubs
 

I was looking at my interior the other day trying to figure out how to lay things out. I noticed that access to my bolsters was going to be real hard no matter how I put them in. Anyone tried the quick release? Any problems, likes, dislikes. I was thinking it could even be a little bit of a theft deterent.

Thanks
Jon

I always throw one on whatever the flavor of the month is. Personally, I like them.

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Fred, will they fit all applications?

Re: Quick release hubs
 

I got one for Christmas. Along with a blue Isotta wheel.

Fred the quick release hub is polished and the release levers are red. Can the color of the release levers be changed? The red seems a bit much with the blue wheel.

Thanks,

Neil

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Fred or anyone else. My concern is something along the lines of a big impact and then they fall off. You know like the old CHIPS tv shows :D :D . They would really make a wonderfull improvement to the bolster as long as I am comfortable with the safty/reliability.

Re: Quick release hubs
 

they dont fall off... i like mine

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Yup.....I'll get you new release handles. Blue or polished???

Re: Quick release hubs
 

I've never experienced that. But, I don't have many large impacts when I'm behind the wheel in the warehouse. :D

We have them on a number of boats with no problems reported. ;)

Re: Quick release hubs
 

The wife got my Red wheel from Fred for Christmas now I think I need the hub for my Birthday in May,Fred will it fit on my tilt helm?

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Blue

Thanks a bunch Fred. I knew you'd take care of it. I'll send the red ones back when the blue ones come in so I put the blue ones on correctly. :cool: :drink: :cool:

Thanks,

TTT????

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like it will be the solution when the time comes. The trailer gets put back together next weekend and then back at it again. I had to step away for a while but I have a fresh pile of ruined cloths to get at it again. Stay tuned :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Hitting the boat project again soon? Enjoyed that project.
Figured it was on the back burner behind the new house.

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Dyno, I think the hub will fit. It fit the tilt on my Formula. Send me a helm pic. I should be able to tell from that.

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Fred, what is the price for CMI mufflers for dry exhaust to slide on here?

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Mufflers for dry exhaust are a problem. CMI is developing a muffler for that application, but I'm not sure they're available yet.

The GGB Extremes are the only muffler I know of that works with dry pipes. I have them at a nice discount but will have to look it up tomorrow and shoot you a PM.

I'll also call CMI and see if theirs is ready yet and what the cost will be.

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Thanks Fred. I thought I had read somewhere they had them available. I'll look for the PM.

Thanks,

Neil

Re: Quick release hubs
 

DrypipeTiger looking for mufflers? Isn,t that an oxymoron? :D

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Absolutely.... :D :drink:

Just investigating. The dry pipes are "reversion" worry free... Wouldn't change it for anything. I

t wouldn't hurt my ear drums to contain the volume a bit though. We'll see what Fred comes up with. :drink: :drink:

Fred, Please include photos with the price quote. Thanks, Neil.

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Will do.

Re: Quick release hubs
 

I am very pleased with the dry exhaust GGB set up that I bought from you Fred.

Re: Quick release hubs
 

The CMI's are still in testing. They'll be available in a few months, but are not ready yet. [dry exhaust version.]

Has anyone checked the GGB's on dry exhaust with a decible meter? I'm constantly asked that question and don't have any real world information to provide them.

Fred

Re: Quick release hubs
 

Thanks Fred. I got your PM.

May hold off for now and see what CMI comes up with. I'm purchasing new xr's soon and need to be sure that will go off without a hitch.

A couple of questions:

Is there a plug or something to fill the hole in the transom that the old neumatic muffler closers consume? Obviously won't need those anymore.

How is HP's effected?

Are you familiar with the variation of sound with dry before and after mufflers?
