    Nosedive!

    For me was all about a correct deck weight distribution, chop and the speed the toon was running at. That's why is mandatory to know well in advance how your boat will react to a bad deck load distribution in different boating scenarios to be aware of them... Happy Boating

    Piranha composite modular props

    Used to own a variable pitch Propulse prop installed on a 2 strokes 30 HP motor, lovely prop, 7 pitches to play with when varying boat and HP motor sizes. As like boating with portable range motors and fixed load dialing a correct pitch number under trial and error for motor to run towards its...

    Gee a non friendly answer with very little technical aptitud for a newbie's first post requesting help at Iboats.

    Awful Boat-Outboard Mismatch.-

    Thanks Lou C, All the info stated on their web page is for 2020 models. Have written Four Winns, asked which shaft motor lenght is recommended for that model, hope they answer soon.... Nome of their 14 boats powered with an OB states its shaft lenght under each model tech specs,... Happy Boating

    Thanks for the link but need to determine if dealing with an old 20-25-30 inch shaft motor when probably works fine with a L shaft one. Happy Boating

    Awful Boat-Outboard Mismatch.-

    Have searched their web page twice and there isn't any information regarding such an oldie 210 model. If the transom is 15.7 inches as seen in post #1, pics 2-3, needs a 20 shaft motor, right ? Will measure the motor lenght as suggested to know which size shaft is badly powering that cuddy...

    Vintage Tohatsu M9.8A fires right up! Impeller & fuel line options?

    The 9.8 B2 impeller it's a medium tall 6 vane one, similar to the middle one as seen in pic, have never seen one physically as we don't have 9.8 B2 models, we run 18 HP and up. Pull the lower leg and check what's inside the liner. If the current impeller it's still fresh and flexible, with no...

    Awful Boat-Outboard Mismatch.-

    Thanks Dingbat, Some Issues : When referring to a deadrise height, means transom height ? If so, that boat has a 20 inch deadrise. Are you sure it's a 25 shaft motor and not a 30 one ? Checked the available lenghts for Merc's 2 strokes 150 EFI motor but could not find anything info not even...

    The Unavoidable.-

    Scenario : This is a Heavy Duty 360 Sea Rider alum deck Sib with 12 years of constant use all year round as a tender which due to its age has developed ungluing side seams and transom issues. As the owner doesn't want to invest much money on it will try to just re glue back both transom holders...

    Tohatsu M9.8A vs. M9.8B model differences

    Vintage Tohatsu M9.8A fires right up! Impeller & fuel line options?

    So 9.8 impeller is 100% different ? In that case use the motor as is till the motor drops dead due to a severe overheat, impeller "giving up" issue. LOL!! Happy Boating

    Awful Boat-Outboard Mismatch.-

    Scenario : It's a Four Winns Sundowner 210 Cuddy powered by a 2 stroke 150 EFI Merc OB. Searched the net for the boat's tech specs but couldn't find any as to check if needs a XL or a XXL shaft OB. As of now the OB splashes too much water out transom (pic 5) you could surf there, has a crappy...

    $22 props? Anybody?

    Seems similar to the Prop Pulse Props made in Sweden, if so, what's nice is that can adjust the pitch in various sizes, excellent for : if varying loads, faster hole shots, pulling skiers, cruising ,etc. The down issue is that blades are hardened composite plastic, will break if hitting hard...

    Vintage Tohatsu M9.8A fires right up! Impeller & fuel line options?

    Sorry, the detailed lower leg removal corresponds to the 9.8B2 model which totally differes from your current 9.8. Must unscrew the exagonal tube to release the shift rod, for the lower leg remove all bolts found under AV plate at different locations. The prop corresponds to a non through hub...
