I recently tested the TP Hustler 10.75 x 12 I ordered. My expectations were that I would get to the top of my RPM range and lose just a bit of speed. According to my calculations, I should have seen about a 4 mph drop given the increased rpm (assuming identical propeller design), but I was...
Thanks to the many who have made suggestions, especially Tohatsu Guru and Bob_VT, I have a good fix for my loose oil-tank reservoir cap/plug. I'm sharing in case anyone has similar issues.
The picture shows it best. At 1&1/2" length of an old 27"x1&1/8" bike tube was cleaned up & inserted into...
Hello
This topic doesn't fit neatly in any other category, so I'm sorry if it's in the wrong place...
Based on what I've learned in this category, I would like to try raising the engine a wee bit. Can this be done w/o an engine hoist? In other words, is this something that 2 or three guys with...
Hello
Does anyone out there have any experience with cold-shrink tape? It seems like what I need for a repair, but I am unsure, and would be happy to hear from anyone about it.
Thanks!
Hello
we have a Calibogie 15 that we don't have a lot of information about. If anyone out there has any, please let us know!
Thanks in advance!
Specifically:
Weight Empty (w/o motor) ?
Maximum engine size allowed?
Any other interesting info?

The Oil Level Sensor does not stay stuck in the top of the oil tank, and oil will spill out when trailering etc. What I see is just a rubber-type cap/plug with the wires coming out the side of the cap-part and nothing to hold it into the top of the tank, except maybe some 'barbs'...
Hello
I need help in eking an extra 1 to 2 mph out of my rig at 5000'. The speed at sea level is fine for me, and for some reason I don't seem to lose a lot of rpm at 5000 ft, but the speed is less. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to provide as much info as possible.

Hello
I am considering replacing the main jets on my 91 M50D(3E3) for better hi altitude performance. The engine runs fine at 5000' as is, but I could use a bit more top end.
Is is possible to replace the jets w/o removing the carbs? I looked at a CLYMER manual which is not really that great...
I have a Tohatsu M50D pushing a 15' Calibogie I use for recreational waterskiing. Once a year, its up to a lake at @ 5000' for a week. It still pulls me up, but I wonder if I can't get a tad better top-end out of it.
There is nothing in the owners manual about operation at higher altitude. Does...
Hello All
I'm the custodian of a Calibogie 15 (15') with a Tohatsu 50 2-stroke. It currently has a standard Tohatsu 3-blade aluminum prop.
I use it for recreational skiing and wish I could get just a tad more speed out of it when I take it to a lake at about 5000' elevation once a year (It'...
