    NEED PROP ADVICE: '78 Johnson115 2stroke/ '82 Ranger 330V

    #4 #5 Trimmed all the way Down at WOT? That is one way to really kill Top Speed, and create a very Dangerous Control Situation. Trimming all the way Down is done to reduce Bow Lift getting on Plane and running at very low Planing Speeds. Usually once on Plane, the engine is Trimmed out...

    Trailer bearing blowout. Need help with repair(s)

    Contact EZLoader and see how much a new Axle and Hubs is. Might not be too much more than trying to repair the Damage, and that way the risk of the Wheels being Cambered or Toed In/Out is minimal

    Starting to feel like August

    If is far easier to stay warm, than it is to cool off. 10C(50F) is plenty warm enough for Shorts and Short Sleeves. 20C(68F) is getting hot, and 30C(86F), is too Hot. I have had the AC going full tilt boogie since the Snow Melted in Late April/Early May.
