    1988 V178 Astroglass bilge and through hull connection.

    Fix the leak and the pump. Even if the pump were working that's too much water inside. A day on the water, and you really only want to some drips. With people and pets swimming, or fishing going on, you maybe understand if a few cups of water drain out. But you want to solve a "large amount."

    Lake Level up ... just a tad ...

    Kind of amazing. Two weeks ago, Middle Tennessee got a ton of rain. I've heard reports between 7" and 10" overnight, which beats some of the reports from a single day back in 2010 when we had the flood in Downtown Nashville. But the water levels are still WAY up. one photo is my neighbors...

    1988 V178 Astroglass bilge and through hull connection.

    The bilge is typically along the keel all the way to the stern. Almost literally the other side of your drain plug in most cases. The pump is that bilge area. You may want to back the boat on the trailer into the water, and get a look at where the water is running in from. Find the leak, so you...

    Bow plowing at high speed.

    ... it's in the "maybe" column. Like I said, you're on the edge of being underpowered; but not necessarily. Different hulls react differently to that.

    Bow plowing at high speed.

    Rated for a 125 and you having a 90 kinda' puts you on the edge of being slightly underpowered. She might just be kinda' "slushy."

    1977 Arrowglass Tarpon help needed!!!

    A little HERE, but several years older. The '68 model had a passenger and gear capacity around 550lbs. I'd say based on loadout, your max is 4 passengers. Beautiful area there around Port Royal. I don't think I've that way in almost 20 years. I've been to Charleston quite a bit in the last...

    Bow plowing at high speed.

    My Bayliner cruises better with a little up trim. It's a stern drive, but only 19.5'.

    1977 Arrowglass Tarpon help needed!!!

    Welcome aboard. A little about the boat HERE. Hopefully you're not venturing out too far into the big water in that one. That hull won't do well in big swells.

    Drain Plug Size

    I had a Silverline, but it was a '72. Garboard drain plug was a 1", and the T-handle type worked LOTS better than the snap-handle. Welcome aboard.

    I think you're in an electric shift Stringer. But I can't tell for sure from the photos. The model number I suggested to look for will tell you for certain what it is, but be aware that those drives got "frankesteined" quite a bit over the years to keep 'em going. You can find some parts HERE...

    Go to your engine. Back on one of the mounts (probably) you should find another tag. That tag will have a model number on it that should read something like "990232E 1977." I think the number you have listed is the part number for the upper gear case housing. Kenny will know better, but I think...

    Chart Plotter Transducer Mount

    Depending on the shape of your logs, do an internet search for "stern saver." It's a little hunk of star board that glues to the hull, and you can mount to that. If you've got a flat enough spot on the 'toon, or a way to shape some star board to fit. Might be able to buy one or make one.

    Sig picture?

    No. I'm not sure why it's different for the signature, but it has to be a linked image. I made a private album and attached my sig image that way.

    Select 175 bimini cover wanted. Might have canvas but could use fibrerglass cover panel that hinges over it

    Not allowed on the forums. What year(s) OMC? Going from a four cylinder to a six cylinder I would think you need to swap everything; engine, outdrive and all.
