    Keelguard - Keelsheild for Hurricane?

    Has anyone applied a Keelguard or Keelsheild to their Hurricane? I tend to beach my boat a fair amount, and I'm seeing some scuffing and scratching of the keel. There are a couple of strakes that the guard would need to go over. Just wondering if anyone else had applied one, and if there were...

    Seadek vs. Hydro-turf or Other?

    I need to cover a few small slippery areas on my boat with something with more traction. Total I'm looking at only about 6 sq. feet in 3 different places, and I'll have to make my own templates. I'm looking at Seadek or Hydro-turf. Price looks to be about the same for the small area I'm...

    Looking for a fish finder/GPS unit that will work with a shoot through the hull transducer to mount on my waverunner. I'm looking for something simple and relatively cheap. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    Cover Recommendations?

    I'm looking for a winter cover for my boat. The 2 piece cover that came with the boat works well, but doesn't completely cover the boat. I'm looking for something semi-fitted to go over the whole thing, since my boat is stored in an open roofed building (wind, snow, bird crap, etc.). I tried...

    Remove Black Stains from Deck and Hull?

    I've got a white non-skid deck with a pebbled surface. It has picked up black stains that cannot be removed with boat wash and scrubbing. Some of the stains were from shoe soles until my wife outlawed shoes with black soles on the boat, but I'm not sure what the rest of the stains are. I also...

    To Fog or Not to Fog F150?

    I can't find any info in either the owner's or service manual about fogging my 2008 F150. Is fogging recommended for winter storage on this motor? If so, how do you do it? Thanks!

    Yamaha F150 Pisser Blockage

    I've had the pisser on my F150 (2008 with only 50 hours) become blocked twice in the past couple of months. I'm lucky that I caught it the first time, and now it is something I check every time I start the engine. Both times it has been just some brown crap right inside the exit hole. I...

    Hydraulic Steering Questions

    Hi, I bought my first boat, a Hurricane Sundeck 2100 (21 ft.), with a Yamaha F150 OB in April. Boat has been great, and we have had a blast with it, but I have a couple of questions about the hydraulic steering system. From the very first day the steering seemed a little stiff, especially...

    Prop/Trim Tab Report on SD 2100 (217) With Yamaha F150

    Since the hull designs on these boats are so familiar, I thought I'd share some results that I got changing props and adding trim tabs to my boat (SD 2100 which is identical to the older 217 model) with the Yamaha F150 OB. First off, I'd say that Hurricane and Yamaha have done a great job...

    3 to 4 Blade RPM Change Expected

    If I go from a 3 blade to 4 blade prop with no change in pitch, how would this change the RPM. What if I drop 1 in pitch going from the 3 blade to the 4 (17p 3 blade to 16p 4 blade). Presently running 5800 max RPM with 3 blade 17p ss prop on Yamaha F150. Thanks

    How to Install Analog Oil Pressure Gauge for Yamaha F150

    Hi, I eventually want to upgrade to the Command Link gauges, but they are too expensive for now. My boat has Faria analog gauges, but did not come with an oil pressure gauge. How hard would it be to add a Faria analog oil pressure gauge to work with my Yamaha F150? Here is the gauge that...

    Another Prop Question

    Hi Hurricane Guys, I've already posted this question in the "Props" section, but thought I'd ask here also, since I'm looking for a prop for a Hurricane. Here is my current setup: Boat: Hurricane Sundeck 2100 (21 foot fiberglass deck boat) Engine: Yamaha F150 TXR (2008) Prop: Yamaha Reliance...

    Sony Stereo System No Remote

    I mentioned this in another thread, but thought I'd start another post in case new Hurricane owners missed it. We bought a new 2010 Hurricane 2100 and upgraded the stereo system to the Sony (Model #CDX-HR70MS). The Sony comes mounted below the throttle on my boat very low near the drivers...

    2008 Yamaha F150TXR 20 hour service

    This is my first outboard on my first boat, but I've been doing my own service on my waverunner with no problems. I'd like to do my own service on the outboard and save some $$$. How hard is it? The manual lists a number of steps they recommend that a dealer do, but the dealer steps all look...
