    Q4 Owners, check your hydraulic cooler now! My 3 weeks old q4 failed.

    Anyway, I was testing my trim tabs at the new location and decided to open her up and see how it would do handling 1' chops (great btw) when the alarm went off. Luckily, I was able to flag down a passerby who was willing to tow me to the nearest marina with the tube rope. I opened up the engine...

    Fuel/Water Separator

    Have anyone installed a fuel/water separator for their q4 3.0L? I'm interested in doing one as they seem like a cheap insurance vs bad gas or fuel separation. I tried looking around the engine but didn't see the fuel line. I did see what looked like a fuel line but didn't have much slack so I'm...

    Onboard charger & battery hook up length

    I'm planning to get a Guest 10 Amp charger for my 18' bow rider. The plan was to mount the charger underneath the passenger console (easy access to mount, more room for the charger to breath and eventually put in a thru hull 3 prong plug). Anyway, if I was to mount it underneath the passenger...

    Extra Sprays from Smart tabs?

    Have anyone noticed a lot of extra sprays after their smart tabs install? After my install it's like my stern is getting a nice shower everytime, no matter which hole the tabs are set at. The tabs are more then 10" from the centerline and it's at the correct angle and I can't seem to find the...

    Tahoe Q4 SS & Smart Tab Setting

    Hi All, I just recently installed smart tab sx 60 on our q4 ss (135hp merc) and was wondering which notch you guys have it on? Right now I have it on the 3rd (middle, factory recommended setting).I noticed that the boat would still porpoise quite a bit if i don't trim it all the way down. If...

    Scuff Buster Install

    For those that have installed the scuff buster above their winch hook. How did you guys install it w/o taking it to the water and dunking it in to back the boat up? I'm thinking about squirting water on my bunkers and let the boat back off but I'm afraid the trailer might tip backward as I'm...

    Front Bimini Straps

    Hello, We just got our 2010 Tahoe Q4, loving it so far except for the fact that the front bimini straps drive be bonkers. No matter how tight or lose we have it, it still vibrate and cause quite a ruckuss at cruising speed. Now I'd like to have both hands free when we're moving for steering and...
