Hello all,
Not long ago, I decided to adjust my shift cable when I was having issues I thought it might be causing. It turns out it was not causing the problems I was having. Now, after adjustment to factory settings, it won't go into neutral without playing with it a bit. I have to slightly...
Hello all, so I'm trying to figure out a way to install a sky pylon on the back of my 2008 Tahoe 215. The problem is you can't really access the underside of the bolts to get nuts on the mounting hardware. Is there any way around this and still have the similar amount of strength?
I know these...
So I have a 21.5 foot 215 Tahoe and I'm wanting to make a custom ski hook/pylon rather than the current one is which looks like this:

Problem I have with the current hook is the ropes tend to drag the water a bit. I used sky pylons before...
Model I have: Nauticus SX10512-90. I've called Nauticus and got some recommendations from them, but just wanted to post a thread about it as well and see what folks think as I got the impression he wasn't too certain about the install or how well it will work for me (said I may need to go to...
Anyone got experience with the orca performance fin on I/O mercruiser or a deckboat? They make the bold claim of being better than trim tabs, but my concern is wouldn't it put stress on the trim/gimbel like most hydrofoils? I wonder if there is any true evidence of this added stress claim...
Just wondering what would be the best option here, and what gap do I need. I got a 215 Tahoe deckboat and it's really cramped in there, any tool suggestions or should I be able to get them out with a standard swivel spark plug socket? I remember the last time I did them on a old 5.0L volvo...
Hey guys so my current prop on this boat is a 48832832a45 14-1/4 x 21p normal rotation. three blade
I'm looking to upgrade to a 4 blade prop and wondering which pitch would be best to go with. The current prop is maxing out a little bit over 4k RPMS and getting a top speed in the high 30's.
I...
Hey guys so replaced the water pump on my alpha one gen 2, and now when putting my boat in forward or reverse it seems more difficult. Also in forward it's making a loud clicking noise. I suspect something isn't seated correctly as I only took the foot off. When you guys service these do you...
So I got a couple questions on the winterizing of this setup.
With the MPI engine do you still spray fogger under the flame arrestor? Also any suggestions for putting in new plugs with the Tahoe 215 space seems very limited any useful tools that may help?
As for antifreezing the lower unit I...
Hey guys so I'm having issues with my 4.3 mercruiser starting, and running smooth when adjusted into low RPM. Once you do get it started it will run fine at high RPMs, but if you go down on the throttle it will turn the engine off.
I know there was some old gas in it I ran on so I replaced the...
HI all I was wondering if 80w - 90 gear lube would work ok with this unit. Pennzoil. Most of what I see 75w 90, but doesn't seem like a big difference.
Thanks!
Hi guys so I'm wondering what oil I need to use in this engine will and marine 4 stroke oil should do fine? Was thinking 10w 30 would be alright 4 stroke, but it says outboard so not sure if it can be used in a inboard.
Also I can't find the engine number anywhere it seems to have been faded...
Hi guys from what I hear these screws tend to seize up, but mine is really bad. I can't even get it out with impact screw driver manual and a electric one. I'm not sure if I really should be heating it up or not. Could I drill it out? Sounds risky too :-) I expect this gear oil hasn't been done...
I know the out drive is a vovlo penta, but not exactly sure what model if anyone can tell by picture. He claims these are original to the boat, but I have my doubts since most these boats had the mercruiser motor and out drive.
I've also attached a picture of the motor which he says is a 1995...
HI all I got a few questions on this motor regarding replacing the pump. Model: E22TX 225hp
I need to know the torque settings for the pump housing and the torque settings for bolts mounting the foot back on.
I also am confused with the o-rings. The kit came with 4, 1 thin long one, 1 thin...
