Pioner 16 Explorer upgrades installation fun installation of new fore bow rails and passenger console, before and after views #pioner #bow rails #pionerboats @glenpyper
Im not really familiar with the usual pricing around add on extras for boats, the extras are quite expensive but are quality items, I think cost savings can be made if a boat is bought fully loaded in one of the bundles which Pioner do on the boats
Hi Mate I have been looing at one of these but was concerned about the low freeboard, rails help with that issue but were they just fixed on with self tappers into the HDPE or did you install something like a well nut first ? Thanks
Hi, just attached with self tapper screws, and marine sealant before screwing in. Feel sturdy enough for persons weight, but might not take heavy strain. So good for holding on.
@@glenpyper Ah ok thanks for reply mate. I asked as thought that was the case and did not want you to have a problem down the line. Without the use of a well nut, or other similar type fixing, screwing straight into the HDPE can feel secure but they tend to wear the holes quite quickly and become loose. And then possibly too late to correct with a better fixing. Just for your own benefit maybe just check with the suppliers that they approve as would hate for you to have issues down the line and spoil your fun. 👍
@@stukyu appreciated, the supplier advises this fitment for these parts so 🤞 they are right. Will bear in mind those well knuts if they become loose. Not had good test yet, but will be hitting the water asap. Youll see a video of them im action soon
Looking sweet 🚤 👌🏼
Thanks 👍 matie
Just from looking at the price lists some of the extra bits that are nice to have on these boats seem a bit over-priced or is it just me?
