Hey I'm not sure everyone knew this, but you can register your trailer in Maine typically for a savings. I did it a few years back with MBI Trailers up in Maine. I’m guessing you can still do it now. I’m from RI and I know it’s not illegal to do it here. I know it saved me a bunch of money so I wanted to share this with everyone.

Hope that Helps,

So, what I thought would be my first weekend with my Challenger for the season was canceled due to all the boat ramps being closed. I drove up to Caesar Creek Lake early Saturday morning (without the Doo) to make sure the ramps were open. What I observed was the docks more than 50 yards out in the water. Of course some fisherman had removed a barricade at one of the lake's 5 ramps, and were out there. Disappointed I spent Sunday combing the web for better information. I found 2 sites that were somewhat helpful.

US Army Corps of Engineers

NOAA - Hydrology

I little digging around the Engineers site and I found the Daily Lake and River report, showing that Caesar Creek was 15ft above "Summer Pool". So I am going to try and contact the local office to find out at what depth the ramps will re-open. I guess it will be different for each lake, and probably each ramp.

The NOAA page eventually led me to a prediction page, showing that at least the Ohio at Cincinnati (Caesar Creek is a flood control reservoir off the Little Miami which empties into the Ohio just upstream of Cincinnati) is going down faster than predicted. That leads me to believe they will start lowering the lake later this week (unless we get substantial rain,yet this week).

Well, I hope you find these pages helpful in planing your boating season here in the US. For our international friends, I wonder if you have similar information.

Dear all, the manual is saying that flushing the intercooler is nessessary. The manual is containg a very brief discription and a small, unsharp black and white picture. Can somebody please post a
picture or youtube video how to flush the intercooler. Thank you very much. Ralph from Germany

Anyone know what length mooring whips I would need to order for my 2012 sea doo 180 SE challenger? Also, how much spacing between the whips on the dock?

Hope everyone has a great Easter!
