    New SEI drive, need a new prop.

    17" 3 blade, in the same prop brand/style, should put you right where you need to be. Instead of a hydrofoil consider Nauticus Smart tabs.

    Ebbtide 2008

    Average build middle of the road bowrider. Made in TN I believe. As stated above, all depends on how it was stored.

    Boat Cover Repair?

    I've used Tear-aid with lots of success as long as you follow the directions. Clean the area real well, apply some warmth to it (hairdryer) and use good pressure to apply.

    Trailer tires.

    I've been running Hankook Vantra for around 5 years. No issues.

    Tiny boat performance help

    Nauticus makes trim tabs for boats under 16' or try a device that attaches to the vent plate (if they make them small enough).

    How to prevent jack from seizing up? Gets submerged every launch

    There is one ramp on Lake Cumberland (KY) where I experience the same thing. I launch solo so I have to back in far enough to pull off without anyone dumping me in. The ramp is very shallow most of the year. This is of course fresh water. My jack has the black plastic cap so I can remove and...

    I HATE AUTOMATIC BILGE PUMPS!

    Always have one of these on hand.

    Proper Oil For Oil Bath Hubs

    I've since switched to grease but my UFP DB35 hubs called for 50 weight. I used Valvoline 50W racing oil. They went 15 years with no leaks.

    Maybe my turn for new boat time

    Can't tell from the diagram, I'm an A1G2 guy. Is the tab washer you reference above the one that locks the prop on after it's tightened? Just tryin to understand. So it's believed with a counter rotating prop it spun loose and this is what caused the water intrusion?

    Audio nerds

    Are you talking new construction? Cables sound better more reliable than bluetooth.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I'll add bellows, shift cables, u-joints, alignment, breaking trim sender wires, multiple avenues for leaks requiring yearly drive pulls and the ability to be a circus contortionist.

    50th Anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald's demise

    One of the GOAT songs IMO.

    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    The 2004 Lexus talked about in my original post had a camera but was small and not very clear so I never used it for backing the trailer. I did use it for hitching up.

    Sounds like a plan

    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    Not a deal breaker, just wondering what to expect if I go that route. I suppose the same could be true for a modern SUV also. Views out the back are getting less and less and relying more on cameras.

    View of unloaded trailer with pickups

    Shopping for a new tow vehicle. For the last 15 years I've towed with a 2004 Lexus GX 470. My boat is 21 foot. When backing the trailer to retrieve the boat I can stretch up and turn and look and still see the back 1/4 of the trailer (it has no guide posts although I realize they could be...

    Brake based limited slip differentials

    Same here. I've had auto 4WD for many years and to my knowledge it has never kicked in. However, I'm inland on river and lakes where there's no tidal waters covering ramps twice a day and keeping them slimy. Most ramps where I'm at (Lake Cumberland) are ripped concrete.

    Brake based limited slip differentials

    I think mechanical limited slip differentials are becoming a thing of the past. Most today are electronic brake-based. Can anyone with a 2WD truck with a brake-based limited slip share their experience on boat ramps? I'm considering such a buy in the future to tow a 4000 lb. rig.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Is it a no wood boat?

    How do I get that last inch?

    I had a boat that would most always do that. I could never figure out why. I think it just has to do with the geometry of the bunks vs everything else. Ended up just living with it. It was a custom trailer welded. Nothing was adjustable.
