    Propping help with Jackplate!!

    So I just installed a CMC 5.5" setback manual Jackplate and ran the boat yesterday. At first glance it rode nice but noticed the cab plate being about 1.5" higher than the waterline! I guess I had it set too high at 2" even though water pressure was about 17psi steady, dropped to 15 a couple...

    Engine Compression + Gas Octane??

    Well it looks like its the beginning of the season, finally! So I got my boat out to de-winterize it only to start off with a bit of an issue... After about 8 hours of working on it I finally found my problem, a clogged fuel line with plastic from the inside lining blocking flow of fuel from...

    Help with some modifications?

    So I've got a few projects to tackle this season. I've purchased a new Raymarine unit and had to butcher pretty much the whole console dash area to get everything laid out properly because the old huge compass was right in the center of it and was molded with fiberglass around it which kinda...

    Jackplate help??

    I just picked up a used CMC jackplate 5.5" setback, its manual not hydraulic. Got a good deal on it so thought I'd give it a shot since I'm fooling around with engine height and propping. As dumb as this may sound, I can't seem to figure out which is the correct way to mount it?? Which part...

    115 hp tuning

    Hello I just finished setting up my boat (engine height, propping etc..) and doing tons of test runs, she runs great! I was digging into some research and realized Yamaha made a 115 and 130 out of the same block? My research indicates its the same motor more or less, that the 115 is a de-tuned...

    RPM/Engine Height/Prop Questions

    Hello this is kind of a mixed topic I guess, I am looking for your advice for those who are familiar. I have been in the process of propping my rig properly. I am currently running a Laser 2 in 20" pitch and was recently getting only 5000-5100 rpm with all my tests on that prop. After careful...

    Laser 2 vs Trophy Plus

    Hello I'm back again after further testing and I need some more help. I did another run with the Laser 2 and ended up only turning 5050 rpm and 46 mph on the GPS. Since plugging the vent holes, holeshot has improved quite a bit, but I think it can still do better. I feel that having maybe the...

    PLEASE HELP - Oil tank distance from motor?

    I'm going to install the oil tank in the boat (never had this motor and previous one was 4 stroke) so now I got a little issue... The splashwell area only has room for the battery, and no access on the other side. I MIGHT be able to fit in the oil tank if I relocate the battery and do some...

    1997 Yamaha 115 2 stroke

    I purchased this motor a few months ago, and now that my boat is near to completion I am almost ready to take it out Lord willing this weekend for testing. It didn't come with a prop and so I need some help. I used to have a 1995 Yamaha 50hp 4 stroke, and if I remember correctly, I'm sure it...

    TODD LEANING POST

    I may be interested in purchasing a Todd leaning post, the one that goes over the existing seat posts. I am curious if any of you owners can tell me how much the unit itself weighs? Every site I check says its 93 pounds shipped, although I think that sounds ridiculously heavy for what it is...

    Leaning Post Refinishing

    Hey all, I picked up this leaning post, came off a 21' Boston Whaler. Its built with marine ply and has what I believe to be a very thin layer of gel coat on top? Its a bit old but the wood is in great condition, no mold or rot or weak spots, very hard and solid to the touch and dry. The...

    1995 Yamaha F50 issues... Help please?!

    Hi I got a 1995 Yamaha 50hp 4 stroke motor on my boat. Motor looks good and runs nice, however I've noticed a few times when I was on the water that when I tried to turn the engine on it wouldn't start (after I've been driving for a good 15-30 mins) this has nothing to do with cold because its...

    Good day friends! I got a real nice little center console, its 16.5' length and 7' wide, weighs 1040 pounds and with 3 adults does 31mph with no gear and a 50hp Yamaha 4stroke. I like how the 4strokes burn less gas, but I hate how they are heavier and have less torque than the 2strokes...
