    Selling my 2008 Q5i...

    I'll start by saying how much FUN this boat has brought me. Unfortunately, the military is moving me to a location where the nearest lake is 3 hrs away, so I don't see any reason to keep the boat. Boat has only 85 hrs on it, comes with the standard trimmings, Smart Tabs SX, custom boat cover...

    What's your upgrade plan for 2012....

    With the 2011 boating season over almost all over the country, I'd be interested to see what upgrades/options folks are looking at for the 2012 season. For my '08 Q5i, we're looking at a new prop, wake tower, and carpet. After that, I really couldn't think of anything else that could be done.

    Buying from Tahoe...carpet

    Question: Has anyone got any good info from buying direct from Tahoe. I'm looking to possibly purchase the removable carpet setup for my Q5i, and really don't know where to start. If anyone also has any suggestions of companies who make custom fit carpeting for boats would be appreciated. Thanks

    What fluid is this - new owner?

    What is the fluid resevoir that rests behind the battery on the Q5i? I bought a Mercruiser 4.3L users manual and it doesn't mention this.

    Insulated cooler problems...

    Folks, Something I noticed this past weekend....more pet peeve than anything. Used the 36 qt cooler on my 08 Q5i....put in a whole bunch of drinks and four 10 lb bags of ice. Drove the boat for about 1-2 hours, and noticed that all the ice was gone. Now, I know that the cooler is right up...

    Changing trailer lights...

    :facepalm: Maybe it's time I hit the weight room a bit more, but I cannot seem to displace the red lens from the white end. I've tried brute force, enough to where I don't want to break anything, I've tried sliding it, and I've looked for screw holes? None. Any advice on how to get to the...

    Tahoe fuel/sluggish problems...

    gents, I searched and posted in the other forums already, but since we are all in the same make, I figured I'd ask here. As I mentioned before, I'm very new to boating....well actually, my first boat trip with my 08 Q5i 4.3 V6 190 HP was yesterday. Started out fine - ran good for about...

    Mercruiser 4.3 / 190HP problems

    Gents and ladies, First off, I am just now getting into boating so if my questions seem elementary, it's cause I'm not very educated on boats. I know it wasn't low on gas cause I could visually see fuel in the tank. I "very recently" purchased a 2008 with the Mercruiser 4.3L 190HP V6. When I...

    2008 Q5i cover/other questions

    Hey all, few questions... Quick intro...I'm in the process of buying a 2008 Q5i 190HP (family's first boat) here in the next 2 days. One thing of concern is finding a GREAT cover, as it will have to be stored outside a majority of the time. I would prefer a custom cover vs. a semi-custom, but...
