Installing a Megaware keel guard on a 2024 Phoenix 21 XE
Welcome to Cavern City Outdoors! In this video I am installing a Megaware Keelguard on a 2024 Phoenix 21 XE. I will install the keel guard below the bottom bow wing and will apply a bead of 3M 5200 (black) for about 6 inches. I also do this for the rear part. One thing to note is that the 5200 has a cure time of approx. 5-7 days depending on environmental conditions.
Update: So far it has made it through 6 or 7 trips with no indication of any issues.

    Great vid. Thx. I have saved over $60,000 with my pull trailer over the last 15 years, saving hotel/meals. I fish for salmon and steelhead out west. I want something like this because I can get a couple hours extra sleep. Instead of leaving my house at 3AM and I can wake at 4.30 at the ramp. This looks like a nice option because it is light and you don't need a hitch extender. My question to you-- if you had a 1 ton dually, would you go this route again or get a bigger, heavier hard side? I have the dually-- but I'm usually fishing alone now. Kids have grown up... But those bigger campers are over 3,000 lbs. That's alot of weight no matter the size of the truck.

    • @caverncityoutdoors

      If I had a 1 ton dually, I would have gone bigger. I do have 2 kids and a 80# Doby that frequently travel with me and the extra room and amenities offered would be nice. Although when it’s just me this camper has plenty of room. I do have a 24” hitch extension nothing crazy just a properly rated one from Reese.

    • @caverncityoutdoors
      @caverncityoutdoors Рік тому

      I personally would recommend taking off the charger as soon as it’s fully charged. My batteries charge up quick maybe 2 hours or so. I have left mine on the charger and the battery goes to standby mode to prevent overcharging which can lead to thermal runaway and fire. Thats only if the internal battery management system was to fail. I have not heard of this happening on these particular batteries. Once charged the batteries hold the charge a long time. They do not self discharge at the rate of lead acid or agm. Hope that helps.

    I have serviced many Lowrance Ghost trolling motors and, from a service perspective, know everything about that trolling motor. I personally love the way it functions but I have concerns over it's durability. How are you feeling about the switch now? For reference the voltage indicator doesn't actually do anything but illuminate. The Ghost senses the incoming voltage automatically adjusts. The voltage indicator light is just a "feels" thing. The direction indicator however has always and will always be an issue. It is not as responsive as some would like. We remove them and polish the edges, and legs, then lube the legs with some Teflon and place a dallop of dielectric on the white tab underneath. It generally works about 75% better after that.
