    What thinketh the membership here..... Useful or just hype

    bunk trailer , 24' pontoon boat. I load and unload myself. I use the motor when loading , idle, to keep the boat on until I connect the winch. I've marked the trailer, yellow paint, to give me a reference for how deep to go. It helps.

    Question regarding the usage of O3 (ozone generators) to keep water clean

    Solas Amita vs OEM (Yamaha)?

    It's part of a mercury smartcraft system. The tach was worth the install. But I like operating stats, kinda good knowing the best cruising rpm range. And I was just showing, merc, solas...didn't matter.... Actually was hoping the 15.5 diameter of the solas was gonna get me the extra 200 rpm...
