    14' Aluminum is Porpoising. How can I avoid this?

    Re: 14' Aluminum is Porpoising. How can I avoid this? Here are the pics. This is how I believe that this is how it is supposed to be set up. I have to have it all the way tilted towards the transom. The pin would be in the closest hole to the transom instead of the 4th like I have it...

    Re: Trailer Teardown, Repaint and Rebuild Trailer has been completed. Test drive went fine. No issues found. Loaded boat and got the bunks and rollers adjusted for the boat. Lights were wired today and I LOVE the LED lights that I put on it. I am very happy with the way it turned out.

    14' Aluminum is Porpoising. How can I avoid this?

    I have a 14' Deep V Alumacraft boat. It has 3 bench seats. I have a 25hp Merc Tiller on it. I have the battery in the back of the boat because I have a transom mounted Trolling motor. I moved the gas tank in between the middle bench and back bench. I have to have the motor angled very far...

    Trailer Teardown, Repaint and Rebuild

    I bought my boat about 1.5 years ago and the trailer is pretty rusted, but at least it looks like it is all surface rust. It is pretty heavy duty for the boat so I'm not too worried about it. I have been thinking about repainting it ever since I bought it and I finally decided this is the time...

    1981 Merc 25 HP Problems

    I just bought a boat that came with a 25 HP Mercury Outboard. It's in a little bit of rough shape. The previous owner used it without care what it looked like as long as it ran. I can't figure out how the tilt lock works. There was a broken plastic lever in the boat that I thought went to it...

    New boat and need prop, what do I get?

    I just bought a 14ft Alumacraft Deep V boat and the 1981 Mercury 25hp needs a new prop. I'm not sure how the boat handles now with the one that's on it now. I think I would like to at least pull a tube at some point with it. I'm wondering if I should just get the stock 3blade 10x13. Or Jump...

    1968 9.5 looses RPM

    I just bought this earlier this spring and am having some troubles with it. Probably why the guy was selling it in the first place. It will get up to speed but only stay there for at most 30 seconds. Then the RPM cuts down to idle and just about dies. If I hold the hose up to about the...
