Anchoring and extra cleats.

[Guest]

Forgot to post that I finally put the front cleats on in May. They say Tige but instead of being etched like the 4 original 2007 cleats the dealer could only find the new engraved cleats.

When you look at the new vs the original they look the same until you get close then you can tell but the new add ons look real good. When I take pictures next i will be sure to take a bow shot.

Doh, where's CP3 when you need him

On my anchor line I put loobs in it every 3 or 4 feet starting at 20' from the anchor. I just use a clip in the appropriate loopto clip it to the bow eye(or whatever it's called) unless it's less than 20' deep and then I just tie it to the grab rails.

I've been using the grab rails. It would be pretty tough to rip those babies out.

I gave him a bye for one of his posts earlier because he did not need more grief....

but before I get the banner here are a couple of pics. Gotta beat the clock
I threw one of my Pro-60's in for s&g's.

Nice pics, those cleats are sweet!

Boy, those boat colors really woke me up!

dog,

she looks much nicer outside with a digital camera that does not have the washout mine is having. I think the cleats are worth it and not having dealer do tower were good decisions.

They told me Pro-80's wouldn't fit. The would have no problem because the would not go higher than the speakers. I should not have believed them.

Looks like it......I was 99% sure they would since Lunchbox had them on his 20V.

Here is what I would do.......move the 60's out about 6" and add a pair of MB8's on the inside of them

Good Idea.

Am concerned about more weight. Wife cannot lower tower alone now so she gets our daughter to help and They both struggle.

We will see how this season goes and if my wife is true to form she will not be able to handle high volume and then would be a pain to do.

we will figure out over the Course of the summer.

If I figure out how to deal with wife and my 24 year old daughter to be able to raise and lower the E series tower with multiple speakers I will still have a decision to make.

If we can get them comfortable doing that I need to re-do some tower wiring.
We I pullled wiring up I ony pulled 2 pairs of 14ga. 1 Pair to the Port Pro-60 and one to the Starboard Pro-60. I really don't want to pull two more pairs so I am contemplating wiring a Pro-60 and a MB8 in series on both the port and starboard sides and then repalce my Kicker 550.2 to a higher Watt Kicker maybe a Kicker 850.4. We shall see.

I just read this thread, the 20's don't come with front cleats???????!!!!!!!

I don't understand that at all, what the heck is tige' thinking about. I did not know that they omitted cleats on the 20's. That doesn't make any sense. I wonder if they made a 19' if they would throw in ores insteand of an engine. Geeezzzzzzzzz..............

Nice job on the cleats, look like they have always been there, like COMING FROM THE PLANT WITH THEM ALREADY INSTALLED.

The 20V is like all Tiges I have seen where stock they come with 4 cleats. One set rear, 1 set near middle of windshield and none in bow.

Since I was a teen, I have always used bow and aft cleats to tie up a boat so I was mildly surprised when I realized where Tige located the stock cleats. It probably goes back to ski boat heritage so I added the two you see in the bow because the front rails are bot meant IMHO to be used to tie off the boat.

The Tiges all come with mid-ship and aft cleats, and a bow cleat is an option.
