    Launching Pontoon

    Sometimes when launching our 24' pontoon with a 90hp Nissan someone has to push it some to get off the trailer. Of course backing in further would be easiest but sometimes it's more shallow. My question is would trimming up the motor help? I usually don't load passengers till after launching, so...

    Position of pontoon in relation to axles question

    I have a 24' Nissan pontoon with a 90hp Nissan. Maybe 1986 vintage. It seems like the tongue weight is too much. There are no scales within 40 miles to check it. The trailer it came on is not the original and must have been for a smaller boat as I had to move the bunks out some for a good fit...

    I am only getting a small mist and some sputtering out of the 2 pee-holes on the down tube. When I blew out the water tube from the pump housing with a compressor I got most of the air out of the exhaust tube and a little out of the tell-tales. Is that normal?

    Watersnake trolling motors, good or bad?

    I was ready to buy a minn kota 40lb. with 36" shaft when I discovered a watersnake 54lb. with a 42" shaft.

    I'm making new cables and probably be no more than 4 ft long. This for a gale 35 hp but, should be same as a big twin johnson. The original under the hood looks pretty heavy. I was thinking of making them out of some nice jumper cables I picked up for $2. at a yard sale. They might be 10 gauge.
