    1995 Bayliner Capri 1800LS bimini suggestions

    Mount the bimini so that the rain top can be erected underneath the bimini. That way when a rain blows up you don't have to double up on work. Also the wider the bimini is the more likely it will shed water off to the sides and not into the cockpit if you don't want to put up a rain top.

    Shifter question?

    I think he's just wanting to know what to expect next time out. To the OP were you able to hit WOT with it arranged wrongly?

    Bow riders with best engine access?

    Not much of a way around it. You have to take the boat apart. Here's what mine looks like after having done so. I lay a foam raft on the sofa seat for protection and remove my engine cowling so I can use the stud and a dowel to prop up the sun pad after releasing the gas springs. PITA but...

    What is this fluid reservoir on my 4.3 MPI?

    Yep trim pump. Raises/lowers your outdrive.

    My boat won't get up on plane with 2 people on board.

    Tabs will help, down propping will help, but the real fix is a larger outboard. According to what I could find on the web you only have 1/2 the maximum recommended horsepower.

    New Tires

    With autos you're told to inflate to what the auto maker says (i.e. placard on door) rather than maximum inflation on side of the tire. Is this the same with trailers? My trailer placard says 50 lbs. my trailer tires say maximum inflation is 65 lbs.

    Jacking Trailer

    Is this a tubular steel trailer, c-channel? What do you have? If you truly jacked just one side I do not see how its physically possible the other side came up with it.

    Jacking Trailer

    Mine are torsion axles but I used to have leaf springs and did it the same way for years with no ill effects.

    Alpha2 Gen2 sterndrive gimble housing

    Gotta admit I'm lost on this one. Do you mean the hole (at least the bottom one) lets water escape if the bellows is leaking? So if water is allowed to escape via this hole it would be viewable from inside the boat? Am I on the right track? The round hole above is only to vent?

    2016 H190 Aluminum to SS Prop question.

    I boat on a deep inland reservoir where bottom strikes are almost non-existent. Strikes with floating debris, however, is very common sometimes big stuff. I've always had a steel prop and it has remained unharmed throughout this for many seasons. This is the main reason I run steel. I don't...

    Jacking Trailer

    I jack the axles. I put the bottle jack just far enough from the wheel to get the jack stand in between. Drop it onto jack stands as close to the tire as I can and still be able to spin the tire. This is the way it has sat for 18 winters.

    2016 H190 Aluminum to SS Prop question.

    Please report back once you get a hold of things. I'm considering another re-prop and would be interested to know.

    2016 H190 Aluminum to SS Prop question.

    2.5 weeks is no issue. Was wondering if it could be bad unstabilized gas if it had sat for long period. Your 21" may not be that far off then. I dropped from 21 to 19 a few years ago and made a big improvement. Wondered why I hadn't done it years prior.

    2016 H190 Aluminum to SS Prop question.

    21" is probably a bit steep for your setup but I wouldn't expect it to account for 600-800 rpm lapse. You say the hole shot got better after the first time. This raises a flag. How long did it sit without being run? Was your wife using trim?

    Best prop

    That horizontal plane right above your prop, as a rule of thumb, should be even with the bottom of your boat. Hard to tell exactly but yours appears to be well below that. You may actually have a long shaft motor on a short shaft transom. If this is true it has a negative affect on performance.

    03 Stingray 180LX possible fuel tank leak

    In mine the front floor panel had to be removed.

    03 Stingray 180LX possible fuel tank leak

    Is there not an access port to where the fuel sender is located? The gasket around the fitting is a common source of leak. Here's mine.

    Tiara 3300 props

    Generally speaking this forum is a smaller boat forum than your Tiara. I recommend posting on The Hull Truth forum.
