    hp. for pontoons

    What's a good hp. size for a 24' pontoon with 10 to 12 people, not too small but not too big, may want to tow tubes. seems most have a 25-50hp. but that can barely get out of it's own way, which brand runs forever?

    trailer wants

    2012 f150 truck to pull it, it just feels heavy, it tows straight, rides ok but any bump and it feels as if the trailer will pull off receiver hitch. the 21' boat, to me, is too heavy for a single axle, I've seen more dual axles on other 21' ers and had 3 blow outs in one year with 10ply tires...

How can I get it centered and what do you measure off of to keep it square? the boat is about 3500lbs. empty, I was thinking a dual setup would pull better...

    light cage??

    here's a dilemma I have... the light that came on the boat, 2005 rinker captiva 212 rx1, was a pop off type, when it gets hit, mostly from anchor rope, it pops off but still hooked up, well the base broke so light bounces all over the bow, so I bought one 3/4" shorter than the old taller one...

    tire pressure

    quick question, when filling tires up on boat trailer, is it better to have boat off or on for the pressure? I would think maybe on because a 3500lb. boat would change pressure and make it higher if it was at pressure empty. my tires are 10 ply and need 80psi and that by itself makes me a little...

    Edelbrock 1409 hard start, flooding

    check floats and needle. seems to be stuck open. also check fuel pressure, it needs to be under 6.5 psi or it will cause flooding.

    throttle cable..?

    after cleaning, I read somewhere when adjusting throttle linkage at wide open throttle, it should be at WOT, on control arm and the throttle body butterfly. so I guess I'm asking if that is true or not so much.

    dual battery

    it seemed weird, two batteries, double the wires to match each one but no way to charge them both at same time unless it was on both.

    what is the best way to wire a dual battery setup with the 5 way switch; off - 1 on - both - 2 on - off? last year the batteries dies, had the son remove them and replace them, didn't take any pictures, it works ok but just today I installed a new trickle charger/ maintainer and found an 18"...
