    Help with axle replacement

    Since you have a Karavan, as I do (2004), call Karavan up and talk to them. Around 5 years ago I needed a new axle for my tandem trailer. They told me no problem, they'd pull the blue prints for my trailer and make me a new one. And they did. I might have the number, I'll look.

    beats sitting around getting fat. 😂 No claims of exercise extending life, but no claims it doesn't . Quality of life, however, is a claim and has merit, for which I can attest to. I'd rather have my kids invest their time in some physical activity other than sitting around for hours with their...

    It sure can be sudden regardless of age. Definitely NOT nonsense. What is the age demarkation line for sudden/not sudden?

    Being a 2001, make sure the toons are water tight.

    22' pontoon prop question.

    if it coulda' been done , it would have, right? Whether electric or oil controlled, complexity, cost, and compatibility with environments would've been prohibitive. imagine a prop replacement cost .

    22' pontoon prop question.

    a "constant speed" prop would solve most of our issues....🤔

    22' pontoon prop question.

    eh, yeah,...dealing with fluid dynamics, I'm no engineer. I've dragged race so "traction" I understand. A prop needs "traction", yes I look at "propping " more as changing gears because there is no transmission per se. A prop is the only variable in an otherwise "fixed" system, unlike a race car.

    22' pontoon prop question.

    no insult taken, at all. My belief is that "slip" takes care of itself if I use a prop that keeps me in the manufacturers recommended rpm range @ WOT. And I prop for slightly over that rpm when by myself so as to be in the upper rpm range when under load. Therefore, slip and speed are just what...

    22' pontoon prop question.

    "bounces on the rev limiter the prop is a quick silver 77342a45(p15) 13.75" x 15p 3 blade aluminum." "also ordered a 4 blade aluminum mercury nemesis 13.8 x 13p" Um, Unless your tach was way off, which you didn't verify, you've basically ordered a prop that will put your rpms at 5700+ under...

    22' pontoon prop question.

    roughly what calculations #'s say from prop selectors and internet opinions: 3-13.75x16 3-14x16 3-15x15 3-16x14 4-14x15, 4-14x16 4-15x14 4-16x13 I'm illustrating how #'s work. Technically, these props would theoretically produce the same results.....emphasis theoretically. not saying props exist...

    22' pontoon prop question.

    thanks for the pic. I always fix what is wrong (car,boat, etc.) regardless of whether I think it is the problem or not.....so.... That prop is chewed up and needs replacing regardless. Maybe you could redress (file) it. I'm not there. Also, just maybe the hub is "spinning". Like I said, your...

    22' pontoon prop question.

    The stationary water line isn't the correct reference. Generally, the plate should be at or slightly below the bottom of the pontoon's motor pod. Like it is for a Vhull, at or slightly below the center of the "V". This is a starting point. When underway at speed, the plate should be at...

    22' pontoon prop question.

    ok... so, yep, your over the rpm limit@WOT..So you go up an inch on pitch. general rules: 1inch +/- pitch, decreases/increases rpm by 200 rpm +/-. 1" diameter +/-, decreases/increases rpm by 100 +/-..
