    I noticed this past weekend that if I grab ahold of the nut in the center of my prop and hold it, I am able to rotate the prop just a little bit. Is this normal? I have the type prop that has the hub that slides in from the back and the prop was just reconditioned this season. The boat is a...

    Advice needed

    1988 Mercury 100hp Flooding

    My 100hp Mercury is flooding out on me. From where I launch the lake is about 1500 feet away at idle speed. By the time I got to open water the motor was flooded. I was not able to get the motor to run at full power. Wide open I could not really get on plane. I stopped and waited 10 minutes...

    Cayuga Lake

    I am looking for some advice from folks who know Cayuga Lake. I have a 16' Glastron and the past two weekend the lake has been so rough we could not really do much.

    Wrong Prop??

    I purchased this boat used and it came with a spare prop. The one on the boat has a few nicks in it so I thought I would put the new spare on but it will not fit. Is there an adapter I can purchase or do I just need to buy another prop.? A few pics of the old and new prop.

    How did I do? Is it safe like this?

    How did I do? Is it safe like this for a few days? It is a 16 foot glastron with a 100hp merc. O/B. I used 4x4 as the up rights, 2x4 on the bottom and 2x6 on the top. Then I cut 2x4's to go in between the 2x4 and 2x6. This should make the post now a 4x7. The 4x4 off to the side are just for...
