    A couple more I/O questions...

    I have these chunky manifolds. They're 1-piece but they don't look like the "batwing" shape in the photo.

    Prop change on my bowrider

    Price played a big part in my decision. I was looking at used props with their dents & dings trying to keep near $200. Then I found the Solas at Great Lakes Skipper for $250--about ½ price. I'm supposed to get the insert kit delivered today but it's getting late in the day... And I have plans...

    Prop change on my bowrider

    So the grinding marks that squared-off that edge weren't to remove casting flash, sprue, etc? The INTENT is to take a nice smooth edge and flatten it? I'll leave it as-is but man, it sure doesn't feel right. :-/

    So does this ignition module have a rev limiter or did that feature come later?

    A couple more I/O questions...

    My 2000 4.3L has a standard carburetor (not tks like I first thought), distributor cap & coil. There's also a black box I'm wondering if it's a rev limiter? Also--what the heck are the 2 plastic tubes for that lead from the valve covers to up near the flame arrestor on the carb? On a car this...

    Prop change on my bowrider

    I'll try this Solas 14x21 Even if it changes nothing it sure is purdy. I have a question about the workmanship. Everything looks top-shelf except the trailing edge. There's a slight cupping there I'm sure is intentional but on the edge face there's a wire edge left from some hand grinding on...

    What is this indicator? (2000 Bayliner)

    I find it really odd that a popular model (Capris) of a major manufacturer has a depth sounder that nobody knows anything about. Was this a rare option? It's definitely factory--the switch panel has a factory-printed overlay identifying each switch.

    I tried again and was able to download the manual. I must have gotten derailed to a spam lookalike site previously. THANK YOU for your assistance with this. 👍👍

    Thank you! I see that's a UK archive site. The company that made the gauge was located in New Zealand. Maybe that's why I struck out finding it by Googling in the US. Anyways... It's a pay site and the preview is too blurred out to even tell if the download is in English. I've got the manual...

    What is this indicator? (2000 Bayliner)

    Thank you but that's a different model. Hopefully the instructions are similar across various models. The bigger challenge is to figure out how this can be configured via the helm-mounted toggle switch since the D41BD doesn't have its own built-in "↑↓" programming switches.

    What is this indicator? (2000 Bayliner)

    So I crawled half into the compartment ahead of my helm to get a model number off this depth sounder. It's a Standard Horizon D41BD sounder... and the Internet has no information on it. I called Yaesu, the company that swallowed Standard, and they have no documentation on the old models...

    Prop change on my bowrider

    I've looked at used listings for those because they are the models suggested by the Mercury prop selector. Those models are probably too new and thus too expensive for me. I'm sure I'll be content with a 10 year old model for half the cost.

    Prop change on my bowrider

    Clear up some shopping confusion for me. I've noticed once you get up in the 135+ hp range that "outboard" and "sterndrive" props look exactly the same, with the insert removed. If I can also consider large-outboard props it more than doubles my choices. This observation was also posted here...

    All answered in OP except #2 which I don't know.

    Prop change on my bowrider

    This much difference between 3 & 4 blade props seems excessive--and the Mercury prop selector wouldn't appear to agree. It recommends a 14.5 x 21 4-blade OR 14.3 x 21 3-blade for my application.

    I'm looking for someone who can tell me how to set/use it. It might be displaying in meters or fathoms for all I know.

    Prop change on my bowrider

    My new-to-me 2000 Bayliner Capris 1850 runs and accelerates great but the rpms are too high. The 4.3L carbureted 190hp motor is rated to 4400-4800 rpm at wot. I'm not sure I'm hitting wot because I pull it back a bit when I hit 5000rpm. Current prop is 14.5 x 19 aluminum 3-blade. Looking to try...

    What is this indicator? (2000 Bayliner)

    While messing with the switch a long beep sounded--like an alarm. I'm not sure if I reset the zero depth or maybe it alarms at a minimum depth you can set. Tells you when to trim up?
