Expert Answers about Boat Motor Accessories

• Does Classic Accessories Boat Cover Fit Over Boat Motor
• The Classic Accessories Boat Cover, part # 052963889383 is designed to fit tight around the boat but does not fit around the motor. There are so many motors available it would be tough to make a cover that would fit over the motor and provide a tight fit. We do not offer boat motor covers.

• Can the Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter be Used on a Boat Trailer and Get Wet
• The Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter, # 118158, is typically used on motor homes that are towing another vehicle by way of tow bar. The converter is not a sealed box so if it were to be submerged in water or exposed to rain, it would be damaged. If you choose to use this part on your boat trailer, you will want to make sure that the converter is mounted in a location that protects it from water.

• Amperage Draw of Motor and Power Wire Gauge of Stromberg Carlson # JET-2500 Electric Trailer Jack
• The Stromberg Carlson JET-2500 Electric Tongue Jack uses a 12-volt motor. Under load, the motor draws 24-25 amps and the motor is fed by a 12 gauge wire. The best practice is to power the jack via a trailer mounted battery. You can use the 12-volt accessory circuit from the 7-way to maintain the battery, but it cannot charge a depleted battery. Using the accessory pin on the 7-way to directly power the jack can be problematic because of the long run from the vehicle battery. Drawing the...

• Will Boat Cover Prevent Mildew On Interior Of Boat In Storage
• The Classic Accessories DryGuard Waterproof Boat Cover, part # CA20083, is designed to keep the interior of your boat dry and clean. The PVC-free fabric resists mildew, and is resistant to UV rays. This cover has two rear-air vents that have built-in stiffeners and allows moisture on the interior to escape. Although there is no guarantee to eliminate mildew completely, the vents will help reduce the chance for condensation build-up and mildew. I would recommend removing the cover occasionally...

• Higher Capacity Replacement For Shelby 5407 Hand Winch
• The discontinued Shelby 5407 is a single-speed, 1,700 lb hand winch, and we can get you a replacement with a higher capacity. The best option for that is a winch from Dutton-Lainson: - Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch # DL14881 The # DL14881 is a 3,500 lb capacity, 2-speed winch with a manual hand brake. Going with a 3,500 lb capacity will give you some margin for error because the capacity is reduced as the line builds up, so I strongly recommend the 3,500 lb winch. The other thing you will...

• How to Maintain Battery Charge in Flat Towed 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek
• The 12V power circuit on a motor home's 7-Way socket, which is typically protected with a 40-amp circuit breaker like # PK54540, will deliver a maintenance level charge to a connected battery on either a towed vehicle or trailer. However, a depleted battery will NOT get a full charging current from this auxiliary 12V feed and will not fully re-charge. An A/C shore-power charger like the CTEK # CTEK56865 can re-charge a depleted battery. Some vehicles when flat towed will need to have their...

• Flat Towing a 2022 Chevrolet Spark
• The Chevy Spark can be flat towed only if it has a manual transmission. To flat tow the Spark, you will need a base plate, I recommend Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX1725. For the tow bar, I recommend The Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar, # BX7420. This non-binding design makes hooking up and unhooking the Spark from the motor home so much easier. The latches release tension to allow you to unhook the Spark from multiple angles compared to other tow bars that require the setup to be completely in...

• Will Switching to LED Lights on Trailer Prevent Fuses From Blowing on 2013 Honda Pilot
• What I can tell you is that switching from incandescent lights to the LED Combination Tail Light Kit # TLL56RK for your ShoreLand'r trailer will 100 percent prevent you from continually blowing fuses. The reason is the minuscule power draw of these lights, with the stop and turn lights drawing about 0.27 amps and the marker lights about .06 amps. Your problem will definitely be solved in that regard. What we don't know for sure is everything the fuses on your 2013 Honda Pilot serve. I...
