Hi,
I'm wondering which parts are included with the new Turbo & Stiletto Guardian hub kits, and which parts (if any) will need to be ordered separately?
Intended for use on a 200 HP 2005 year Mercury Verado outboard.
I have the understanding that the props come with a hub and a thrust washer...
Hi Kenny,
I've noticed that the new Solas Alu Rubex prop has made an impression on you:
As a result, I have ordered a 17P to have as a spare in addition to the 17P Enertia I usually run (on an Uttern D66 22 ft. daycruiser powered by a 200HP Verado).
Now, you wouldn't have any numbers to post...
Hi guys,
summer is here and boating is a lot of fun, except I don't like to go around without a spare prop on board.
The boat in question is an Uttern D66 made by Swedish Brunswick-owned Uttern Boats. It's a 22 foot daycruiser with a dry weight of 2900 lbs and a deadrise of 20 degrees...
Hi Guys,
I just picked up on this one, another prop from Mercury made from the X7 alloy. Here's an ad: "http://reynoldsracingmarine.com/furysell.htm".
Anybody here know of this?
Re: Prop pitch vs gear ratio...
Yes, slip varies with speed. Here are some published numbers from a test of a boat like my own (Uttern D66) equipped with a 175 Verado:
rpm 2500 3000 3500 4000 4500 5000 5500 6000
mph 8.63 9.78 13.11 19.91 28.19 34.52 40.28 44.99
mpg 3.09 2.58 2.56 3.28 3.86...
Re: New Boating Accessory Product Survey.. Boston University Students please help!
Tashasdaddy, I see you are right - I just googled it and came up with several hits for "retractable docking line".
And, you're right, the quality seems to vary a bit. I'd be uncomfortable mounting anything on...
Re: What's this prop's value for re-sale
It will probably fetch between $150- $200 on eBay, perhaps $225 on a good day. In the attached file are the last 10 completed listings.
Hi guys,
As a newbie Verado owner; the Verado 200-275 HP seem to be identical engines with the difference between them being in the electronics somewhere - is this correct?
If so, would it then be possible to change some chip to make the engine go from a 200 to a 275 HP output? Do any of you...
Hi,
I just bought a new (used) boat that is equipped with a Verado engine and SmartCraft instruments.
Also just ordered the Northstar 657 combo unit with the SmartCraft gateway and Y-cable for connecting it to the Smart Craft system.
Question: by connecting the GPS unit via the SmartCraft...
I am currently thinking about buying this boat ( http://www.finn.no/finn/boat/object?finnkode=9484875 ), which is a 1987 Sea Ray walkaround, with a 2 year old Mercury 350 (260 hp) engine and probably the original Alpha outdrive.
Anyone know of this vintage of Sea Rays, and is there anything in...
Hi folks,<br /><br />Last year I backed onto a rock and knocked off the lower corner of the skeg. No big deal, but I put a Skeggard on it (had it shipped from the US and all).<br /><br />Today, I hit another rock. I was not going fast (about 4-5 knots) and didn't think it seemed very dramatic...
Hi folks,<br /><br />The boating season started here yesterday, and with it came the first run with a new prop, i.e. a Vengeance 3 blade stainless steel 23 pitch.<br /><br />However, I was a bit dismayed to find it performs almost exactly like the 23P Black Max 3 blade alu prop did.<br /><br...
How do you guys feel about drive showers? - i.e. systems like this ( link ) that claim to significantly lower the temperature of the outdrive.<br /><br />Are they needed, do they work, or is this just another costly gimmick? Thanks.<br /><br />
As witnessed in a few other threads, the users here at this forum must be very diverse. Some can barely spell but may know boats inside & out. Others may have PhDs but wouldn't know a boat from a bath tub.<br /><br />Just curious then; how much formal education do you have?
