    Has anyone replaced the windshield on their boat?

    My 4 Winns H190 SS windshield glass is okay, but it's started to get crazed. Just wondering what I can do about it in the future. I've looked online but not seen much.

    Four Winns H190 Trailer bunks

    My bunks need to be at least recarpeted, but maybe replaced. As they seem to hold a TON of the boats 2800lbs, is there a way to be sure I can get something that won't break? Most seem like they are just 'Wooden carpeted bunks' for like $150. But they don't seem to have a weight range. Can you...

    Can you add a wake board tower?

    My kids are getting older and going from tubing to wake boarding. I’d kind of like a tower for the higher pull point as well as board storage. But my boat didn’t come with one. Can they be added (professionally) or does a boat have to be built for them? I have a ‘16 Four Winns H190 SS

    Running new wire to led speakers.

    I have a '`16 Four Winns H190. The speakers were all blown (it came with car stereo speakers, so it honestly looks like they just were damaged by the sun). I am replacing them with kicker marine speakers. I'd like to hook up two of them with LED's. The wiring is fairly simple... I thought maybe...

    Replacement speakers for a 2016 Four Winns H190 SS.

    I have 4 speakers, two in the boat and two firing out the back by the built in chairs. Has anyone replaced speakers in this boat and know the depth/size needed?

    How do I clean bumper marks on fiberglass hull

    The lake is low this year, and I can't seem to get the bumpers high enough. The boat has been bumping into the doc mounted bumpers but they have left a white residue on the hull. I'm new to fiberglass and gelcoat. Any suggestion on cleaners that won't damage the hull?

    What kind of trolling motor for a 16 Sylvan Sport Select?

    The Hull is around 800lbs and it has a 112 SPL Johnson. I'm looking for something I can troll with/get home on a small lake if the engine fails. It's set up for one, but it's a '95 so I'm not sure that the plugs are still valid.

    Four Winns hull strength

    So I have a '16 Four Winns H-190 with the 4.3 MPI. 17 pitch 4 bladed prop because I basically tow all the time with a few people in the boat. At WOT with just the wife and I top speed is about 43. I'm coming from an Aluminum Sylvan, that I bought in my 20's and honestly took alot more abuse...

    Is Vessel View worth it?

    I'm working through an issue with my 4.3 MPI alpha one where it's giving a warning beep. I've tried several things (people were very helpful in another thread) but the beeps still aren't clearing. My mechanic, who I like, has said he needs to get it to pull the codes, but he's a week behind...

    Constant 'Two Beeps' from my Four Winns 4.3

    Took my '16 Four Winns with a 4.3 MPI and alpha one out to watch fireworks. I did alot of idling and slow moving and when I went to land it I started getting two warning beeps every minute or so. Time between beeps can be variable. I pulled it and checked: A) oil B) drive lube level C)...

    Power Outlet stopped working

    I have a '16 Four Winns H190 and the power outlet stopped working. We were filling a tube and the air pump got jerked and pulled the plug out of the socket. The plug came apart and left pieces in the socket. We were able to get it all cleaned out and rebuild the plug but when we plugged...

    3 or 4 blade prop for H190 SS.

    So, due to bad oversight on my part, we dinged the prop on my boat at slow speed. It also looks like it bent the bottom fin a bit at the tip. It still runs fine, though I'm going to have to get it in. In the meantime, I'm looking at getting spare prop. I don't have a budget for an SS so that...

    LED dash lights for a 2016 Four Winns H190?

    So, one of the dash lights on my boat burned out. Is it a PITA to replace them on the Four Winns (It was a snap on my Sylvan.... assuming I could deal with the pain of fitting under the dash). And, is there any electrical circuit reason to not put in LED's? I prefer them both for light quality...

    Why does the 4.3 not rev higher if it's oversquare?

    So I'm just doing some off season research into the 4.3 for fun; I think I have a good mechanic who is going to do my yearly maintenance and all is good, but I'm just curious. In some of the reading it said that the 4.3 is oversquare. I wasn't sure what that was so I looked it up and it said...

    '94 Bass Tracker handling question

    Purchasing a '94 Bass Tracker with a 25hp. I'm used to V hulls of varying sorts and this seems to have a very shallow V. Great for getting shallow; but with 25hp and it's light weight it looks like it can plane. I was planning on taking it out and just slowly getting used to it, but is there any...

    Boat keeps porpoising.

    So, I’m enough months post op that I have been able to drive my 2016 Four Winns, with a 4.3 MPI. The issue I keep running into is that I can’t stop it from porpoising unless I am trimmed all the way down. Is this normal with the engine in the back?

    2016 Mercruiser 4.3 MPI stalled while tubing; cranks but doesn't start

    I had replaced the battery earlier in the afternoon. Once I did it started fine. It was a little boggy off the initial holeshot but it was me and 7 kids (8th grade/sophomores) in my Four Winns H190 so I figured it was just weight. Towing hole shot was great. No problems starting after changing...

    Pulling tubes from my ski eye.

    Okay, how strong are tow eyes? My old Sylvan I used the two transom tie down loops on the back of the boat. I got in there and saw that they were heavily backed and the transom itself was pretty heavily attached, so I never worried. I now have a 2016 Four Winns H190, and I see the tow eye in...

    What is this fluid reservoir on my 4.3 MPI?

    I'm getting to know my '16 Four Winns with the 4.3 MPI. So far I love it. It's so much bigger than my 16' Sylvan, and the 4.3 has all the power I could want (I was worried I'd be missing a V8 in a bigger boat). I ordered some manuals online, and am trying to get to know the engine and hull, but...

    4.3 liter Mercruiser cool down period

    So, inboards are new to me. For my outboard I'd let it idle and/or cruise around for a bit after hard running; I.E. going from tubing to hanging out at the beach. I am trying to do the same for the 4.3. I did notice, however, a couple hours after pulling the boat the engine compartment was still...
