    Prop size

    Do you mean 21.5? You have a comma in there.

    Pumping out oil from dipstick

    If you trailer the best way to change oil is with the drain hole hose sticking through the garboard. I do this as soon as possible after leaving the ramp so oil is still hot. I drain straight into my recycle container. Easy and very little mess.

    Trim limit switch

    I get what is said above about not being necessary but frankly I like having them. I use the limit switch when loading onto the trailer. I bring the drive up to the limit when powering on. Never nicked a prop like this and if I need to gun it I know I'm not stressing the u-joints past the...

    Wires on trim posn sender frayed.

    I keep nursing mine with liquid electrical tape also. I've done this for maybe 5 years now. Hoping to buy time until bellows etc. need attention. Some say, with the right tools, they can be replaced without removing the bell housing. Haven't tried that yet

    MPI fogging mixture vs fuel return

    Tbh what's driving my thinking about this is your suggestion of simply adding 2 stroke to the boat's tank instead using the remote tank and disconnecting the fuel supply year after year. My boat is stored at the lake 2 hours from the house so it's advantageous to do everything I can on my last...

    MPI fogging mixture vs fuel return

    Lol you answered my question. Mad at myself for not thinking of that. Seems like in the past someone made a point that what goes in the filter is not what actually goes through from there but I either mis-understood or was bad info.

    MPI fogging mixture vs fuel return

    Let me see if I understand this correctly. On my 2002 5.0 MPI (serial #0M345638) the fuel pump puts pressure on the injectors, so much so that all of the fuel pushed to the injectors is not used but some is returned to the fuel filter. So when Merc recommends a 10:1 fogging mixture, 10:1 is...

    I'm back with a 1994 Islander 221V!

    From the pic in your original post, is that a High Five prop? Seems like an odd selection for the application. Maybe the PO liked it for trolling.

    what do you see wrong with this picture?

    I put a hole in the bottom of the filter with something sharp. Fully drains then.

    Tire size mismatch question

    Just replaced two Goodyear Marathons 10 years old. Boat is stored in indoors though.

    2017 19' Chaparral H2O leans right

    Have you owned the boat since new? Is this a new occurrence or has it always been this way? How bad is the lean? Do you have two batteries on the right? Stereo head unit? Subwoofer? It all adds up. Trim pump is on the right correct? As stated above check loading.

    Solas stainless 4 blades all the same?

    He's talking about Solas which is probably is the $400 range. All I'm saying is try the Nemesis, which is commonly available used or open box for even around $100 sometimes, to get an idea and return via Amazon for very small risk. I do appreciate your comments Scott.

    Solas stainless 4 blades all the same?

    If you're running a Black Diamond you already have the Flo Torq 2 right? Amazon has a Quicksilver Nemesis 17" now "used like new" for $150 which is basically an aluminum version of the Rev4. Try it and see what you think. This prop gets great reviews generally, for what is is, ally prop...

    Rattle when in gear

    That looks like a large distance from the outdrive barrel to the raised edge on the prop. I think he has the wrong thrust washer or it's installed backwards.

    Power tech srt prop

    Recommend posting on the Tinboats forum. You would very likely get more response there with that size prop.

    Merc prop selector

    Anyone ever busted a delrin vs rubber? Wondering if there's any truth that the rubber will get you home, albeit slowly, while the delrin will just spin.

    Merc prop selector

    Man that Rev 4 has got to be a heavy prop. I assume you have an alpha? Does it shift ok?
