The reason I had to install a plug was due to poor trolling motor performance. When I started investigating I saw where they had made the connection between the trolling wires and the battery wires. When I touched the connection it fell apart, they never ran wires directly from the motor to the batteries, they connected them and it was a mess. I wasn't surprised however because it was indicative of they quality work that was carried out when my vessel was prepped for pickup. Suffice to say I have a much better idea of what to look for the next time i buy a boat.

Mako Boats
I also have a Mako and agree and disagree with Opinions Vary. I agree about their choice of hardware. They used self-tapping screws where they needed machine screws and nylon nuts. I spent around $50 dollars on new hardware when I first got the boat 4 years ago and haven't had too many things need to be re-tightened. It is aggravating having to change stuff on a new boat but it really isn't that hard to do.
I disagree with the comment about the options because they can be added to any boat for probably less than the dealer would install them for. My boat is the 192 model and has higher sides than the bay boats so I don't know how they ride. The ride of mine is very dry but I still wish it was two feet longer. LOL. The worst part about buying a Mako is finding a good dealer to buy from. If you ever want to go for a ride let me know. Last edited by Loneshark; 03-09-2010 at 05:24 PM. Reason: Trying to add pic |
