    Q4 SS Trim Question

    I just bought a new 2009 Tahoe Q4 and haven't put in the water yet, but I was checking out the options in my driveway today and I trimmed the motor down just fine, but when I went to trim it up it only goes halfway back up. Also the trim guage only reads halfway down when the drive is fully...

    Hummingbird 717

    I just bought a Humminbird 717 and the GPS accessory. I have it hooked up and working fine, but I wanted to know if there is anyway to get a map of the waterways and lakes for this unit? All I get right now is a grid that looks like a 7th grade geometry homework assignment and a picture of a...

    Bassboat Flooring???

    I am getting ready to recarpet my bassboat, but the problem I am facing is that the old carpet didn't cover the whole bow just inset sections. I want to cover the entire area, but I don't want it to be unlevel. I have attached pictures below of the recessed flooring where the carpet was...

    Bow Floor Makes a Crackling Noise

    I have a 83' Skeeter and I noticed to today that the left side of the front casting deck makes a crackling noise and flexes just a little bit. It's only a 16 ft. boat so the deck is only about 3 ft, is there anything I can do to strengthen it without replacing the whole floor?

    2-Stroke 83' Mercury Inline 6

    I got this boat and motor last summer and it ran great for about 2 minutes and then it started stalling out. It wouldn't die on me but I was limited to about 10 MPH at WOT. Anyway, I checked the compression today and I was right between 100 & 105 on 1 thru 4 & 6, but #5 was at 90. The boat set...

    Skeeter Starfire and Mercury 115 HP

    I have a 1983 Skeeter Starfire 115 with a 1983 Mercury 115 HP...Since Skeeter is owned by the Yamaha Corporation and Yamaha is now the number one motor for Skeeter Boats I am just curious if this was a likely combination from the factory in 1983.
