Re: Stern Umbrella options for my 282?

Post by slideruleracer »

A note to anybody wondering about the snug fit of the umbrella pole. This prototype batch I made my own drill bit to ream them out to ~1.515" and it ended up being a little more snug than I anticipated. All future 262/263/282/296? adapters will be reamed out to 1.53" before plating.

Thank you again to my prototype testers willing to take a chance with me. I sincerely appreciate the pictures and feedback..

LOTO - you're up! Where's the pictures? ;-)

I would post the video of the exhaust, but cannot get it to work. How do you have to save an iPhone video to load?

all 3 pics are saved with the correct rotation, but for some reason the one will not post correctly. Can someone fix this for me?

I turned the pic for ya' P8713. :P

....and for now, the site only takes youtube vids. Thus, you upload your vid to your youtube account and then post it using this sites "youTube" radio button and inserting the video number between the parentheses. :ugeek:

Sounds good! I love it Patriot, it sounds just like mine!

With a Cobalt theres already an echo chamber on the stern, and with an added swimdeck it just enhances the sound. And then I back into my slip, so with the head pier and walkways on wrapping the back it amplifies it even more. I always flip it open when I first start up. It sounds like a BEast coming to life!

My wife hates it, so I flip it off after a minute or so. All the guys dig it. And my neighbor, with his open exhaust Baja envies it.

I have a sound file but can't figure how to post, so I'll get a video next time.

Uhg! I had to hear Patriots first hand and WOW, such a cherry boat and the exhaust slobbering all over did not disappoint. Uhg 2! While I got to see Patriots umbrella setup our umbrella was backordered and isn't coming in until later this week. I will say that Slide did not disappoint. The quality of his mount is top notch and fits my 282 just like the factory tow pole. I did stand on Patriots boat and test the functionality with the umbrella and it's spot on. While the fit is snug to the umbrella itself I think that's how I would prefer it so zero complaints from me. The shipping and packaging were way overkill and I love that! This thing looks great and is functional.
