Not sure what they mean by "water in the swim deck". This is not a new boat. It has been manufactured for several years. I highly doubt water is getting in the swim platform somehow. I tend to agree with Pmt. Seems like something is up with your engine. 2025 should be under warranty. Does...
After a hard run he gets an alarm. Remnants of exhaust shutters blocking exhaust passages, BTDT. With the alpha the relief ports on each side of the drive are enough to handle normal running, but not at WOT.
Carbed or MPI? A few things to check:
Cross check your temp gauge with a IR gun. Point it at the thermostat housing. Is it close in reading vs the gauge?
Drain your gear lube enough to empty the bottle. How much gunk is in the bottom of the bottle? Remove and clean if necessary.
If MPI is...
I'm guessing the 19 is the Mercury Black Max. If the 17 was the same I would expect it to put you around 5200 rpms which is 200 over but what you need. This boat is not going to be everything to everyone. On skiing days use the 17 (Black Max), if just cruising use the 19. When going fast...
You'll need to be more specific with the props. What are the makes, models and steel or aluminum. Hard to believe the 17 only turned 10 more rpms than the 19 unless they are different prop makes or families. 46 mph is moving out and decent performance for this boat.
That's what I would do also. Mine broke off a bigger chunk at the tail end caused by the prop catching debris and pressing against the vent plate. It didn't seem to affect performance but I didn't like the way it looked so I took it to a prop shop and had it fixed. Yours isn't near as noticeable.
Too funny! I tried parking it here when I first remarried (I married into the HOA) and got a nasty letter in no more than about a week. HOA seems pretty strong. My buddy lives in one, in a different town, and all they seem to do is cash a check. Not here.
I was considering yearly to be frequent. Probably no way out of this for me except to keep my current storage for trailer only. What makes it worse is, in addition to the HOA, I live at the apex of a cul-de-sac. So property lines get tight as they approach the street meaning I would have to...
Possible maybe. I thought it might fit under my deck but the post to the wall distance is 7'7". Haven't measured the trailer width but I'm thinking that won't work.
It's a 21 foot boat with 8.5 beam. I've thought of something similar but I imagine I would need the trailer more often than I think. Example: How do you remove an outdrive, which needs to be done frequently, with the boat on a lift?
