    Lowrance Plugs

    I need to install and remove my bow mount fish finder all the time. I'm currently stuck with Lowrance because my trolling motor has a built in Lowrance transducer. Getting the power and transducer plugs off and on, on the unit is a hassle because the plugs are made to be water tight. Does...

    Anyone Have Comments on TrailStar Trailers?

The driveway into the side of my house where I store my boat has a sharp curve and I can never get it exactly the way I want it. Then I said to myself, "There must be a better way?". As I searched on-line I found these two...

    RPM Question on I/O

    I have a 5.0 MerCruiser MPI with Alpha drive. The recommended rpm range is 4600-5000 rpm at WOT. I had a 17p Vengeance prop and was going about 52-55 mph at 5200 rpm. I just switched to a 21p Enertia and am impressed with this prop. Now, I'm doing a little over 60 mph but, my rpm's dropped...

    Merc Performance Vent Plugs

    Just picked up a 21p Mercury Enertia which came with 3 closed performance vent plugs. From your experience, anyone know what the different diameter holes on vent plugs (3 sizes) do for performance of this prop. Thanks, Rich

    Boat Porpoising...HELP!

    Hi Fellow iBoaters, I just recently purchased a 2008 20' 6" Tahoe Q7i with a 5.0 MPI, 260 hp MerCruiser. Approximate weight is 3,100 lbs. The other day, I went to the lake I also go to and it was very choppy with white caps. My boat porpoised so much that I eased up on the throttle a lot...
