    Pontoon capacity plate

    Hey all, last yr we picked up a 1996 MonArk SunSpa 260. The capacity plate is completely worn off so I don’t know any of the specs for the pontoon. Do any of you have a resource or own one that could relay the info from it to me? Thanks.

    Props

    So, just curious, can you use a mercruiser alpha one props on these motors? I recently bought a 26’ pontoon with a force 125 and I have a couple mercruiser props. Just curious if I could use them on the force. Haven’t found anything on this subject.

    tilt & trim
