    Anodes for Yamaha outboard...Zinc or Aluminum?

    The only reason to switch up to aluminum is if your still having corrosion issues (better protection) or if you primarily run in brackish water.

    Bimini top seems to have shrunk

    When my curtains comes up a bit short after washing and hanging them to dry, I let soak for a while and install "wet". Works like a charm. I leave my curtains on March thru June, then reinstall in October through December

    Lowrance Elite FS 9

    Transducers don’t “click”. If you can hear it clicking, the transducer is bad, and or on the way out.

    Bennett SLT-10 Self-Leveling Trim Tabs - Vertical Mounting

    Not as simple as you believe. Your paying for the two (2) LDTs (linear displacement transducers) that get installed in the cylinders to provide position feedback to the switch You operate tabs by feel. No reason to know tab position unless you like lighted gadgets

    Bennett SLT-10 Self-Leveling Trim Tabs - Vertical Mounting

    Purposing is caused by too high of a trim angle. Trim down to stop proposing. The boat’s weight and deadrise are not conducive of rough water performance. If you want to increase performance in adverse conditions, investigate high lift props.

    Bennett SLT-10 Self-Leveling Trim Tabs - Vertical Mounting

    Get the tabs too close to the keel and you end up with a stability issues. Boat wants to teeter tooter, port to starboard and back Unless your a fair weather, lake boater that doesn't do "conditions", self adjusting tabs are not going to cut it.

    The hose is pushing a whole lot more water than the water pump. 5 psi at idle at best. Make sure the water tubes isn't rotted thru and that both grommets are in place.

    Do I need a trailer?

    In my neck of the woods you would be fined by Natural Resources Police or Coast Guard for causing "a film or sheen upon, or discoloration of, the surface of the water" when you launch your boat.

    Boat reverse polarity

    Reverse polarity in a AC circuit is a grounding issue. Swapping the wires of an AC supply makes no difference to the load. Has their been any electrical work done on the supply line? The most common cause is reversing the neutral (blk) and hot (wht) wires on a receptacle or plug. White or red...

    1998 evinrude 225 ocean pro help #2!

    What is the temp of the water? If the water is too cold, it can take a minute for the water to come up to temp and open the stats. Having said that, I can't say if that's typical behavior or not when running the motor out of the water. The motor is designed to run off the flushing port. I've...

    New boat owners leaving the hobby

    Quite a change from 10-15 years ago when there were waiting lists and huge backups at the ramps on opening day of Trophy Striper season. Since they closed trophy season and moved the opening day of Striper season back a month (fish are gone), most like myself can’t see spending $$$ in fuel...

    Boat reverse polarity

    Guessing this is your AC panel since hooking up the batteries backwards would have “smoked” any electronics onboard. Either your power cord or power reciprocal has neutral and ground switched
