    Prop and trim

    HP (torque x RPMs)/5252. HP is what propells the prop shaft that twists the prop that develops the thrust to drive your boat. Recalling, other than a few engines that came out with high cubes in the Bass Boat arena some years ago (from 2kcc to 2.5kcc in a 150 hp engine...Mercury), a lot...

    Prop and trim

    How did you come to purchase the Hustler, and that particular pitch? Does it have a hole under the leading edge of each blade on the side of the barrel? I assume you don't have power trim and are talking about positioning the tilt pin in the clamp bracket. When you say you are at 1 hole up, I...

    1987 Regal Velocity

    Go to the top of this page get in PARTS, Props, fill in the blanks on your boat and you will be provided with a list of potential props. Look around for Turning Point (brand) Hustler (model) to find the 21P 3 blade. Call up iboats and check to ensure that it's "Ported"...little holes under...

    Help with motor height adjustment

    One more thing. The picture in my Avatar is a 17 1/2' aluminum bass boat, stepped hull, with a stock 2002 Merc. 90 (2.33:1 gear ratio)....like yours probably is and I was running a 13+ x 24P prop at 5500 RPM. I'm kissing 50 GPS in the picture while driving and snapping the picture with my cell...

    Help with motor height adjustment

    I was putting up the dishes from the dishwasher while the coffee was "dripping" and something smacked me in the side of the face........At 80 I'm not as quick as I used to be. Your initial inputs included a 4 blade Turning Point (I assume Hustler) prop. I have 3 of those sitting on my shelf in...

    2001 mercury 125hp 2 stroke

    The service manual for all engines in your series and year-models states that any compression readings below 125 one should expect problems!

    2001 mercury 125hp 2 stroke

    Yellow wires are battery charging....completely separate circuit. You want the other wires Green/White stripe and White/Green stripe are your CDI storage capacitor operating voltage and the other bundle with purple, black brown, blue, and white are your triggers and dc supply.

    water pump and shift shaft position

    You have to rotate the prop in both directions...one direction (CCW) it is locked to the crankshaft, the other direction (CW) the prop should move in and out (toward the LU casting and away, about 1/8-1/4 inch) and as it does you hear a clicking sound...like going over the teeth of a hand saw...

    Spark Plug Wire Question

    Mercury ignitions are rated at 40,000 volts open circuit. Course if your plugs are always installed and fire when they are supposed to you will never see the open circuit voltage....more like 18-20,000 (SWAG). I "think" auto wiring is rated more like 25,000. Additionally, without having them...

    Best lower unit lube

    Mercury Premium LU lube is in WW, in the sporting goods dept. They don't bother to mention if it's synthetic but its credentials (otherwise) are on the bottle. Comes in a quart with a tube and adapter to fit the threads in your drain hole.......pump also supplied. Can't get any easier than...

    Help with motor height adjustment

    SWAG....indication of excessive air presence caused by prop being too close to the surface. I can't imagine what it was like driving that boat with the prop located where it was...mindboggling. Usually cavitation is on the reverse side of the blade, the low pressure side of the blade, caused...

    2004 2+2 125hp ELPTO 2 stroke CONSTANT ALARM

    In your first picture, you circled a 1/8" NPT pipe plug covering a port where temperature monitoring equipment can be installed, like a thermostat which I use...dash mounted indicator, or water pressure which is popular, with dash indicator...has nothing to do with OT failure system. The alarm...

    distance traveled per revolution

    On prop loans to find what works, usually they take back what they gave you to test....that means you put it on, take your data, stop, take it off, dry it off, shine it back up, put it back in the box and reinstall your old prop and be on your way....remember there will be other customers such...

    Yamaha F90B prop

    Not necessarily. Lots of things to consider in getting the right prop for a boat. First thing we will need is some performance information now that we know your current prop info. Is your boat a 2 barrel "Toon" or a Tri-toon? What is the condition of the tubes....nice and shiny, full of...

    Experience of Turning Point props? Prop failures?

    Turning Point prides themselves in their casting process. They show you the difference in the results of their process and regular run of the mill alum prop casting techniques. They talk about how their material won't bend under thrust loading like regular alum. is said to...I never watched it...

    Help with motor height adjustment

    Don't leave us hanging and surely before you do something different. Porpoising is caused by the engine tilted out too far for the boat's speed, determined by lots of things including hull type and weight distribution and HP and prop specs, and all that. For a given rig, when you are up and...

    You might try advertising it. There are sales companies all over the place...I boats has a boat for sale section.

    Help with motor height adjustment

    I understand your comment sir and would agree but with the significant dead rise at the transom, I don't think that is necessary and if he does what I said he will be out of options other than unbolting the JP and lowering it with respect to the transom. Let's see what happens.

    Engine RPM drop

    Don't have that engine but I bet the spark advance mechanism is binding, either in your engine linkage or something under the flywheel. On smaller Merc engines, timing is around 0 before or after TDC at idle,....matter of fact you set the idle 675 rpm by changing the timing, while at WOT it's...
