    Is this going to be a problem?

    It looks like you bought a 4 1/4" hub prop when your motor requires a 4 3/4".

    Is this going to be a problem?

    Make sure the flared side of the washer mates up with the beveled side of the prop shaft, i.e. flip it over.

    A nice tip but it’s not about stern drive storage in the up position

    My port cylinder started leaking after 22 years this spring. Replaced with SEI, quick and easy.

    trim tabs

    Off topic but I don't think this applies to boating world. I'm very sure a single right hand prop tends to list a boat to port. This is partly why driver positions are on starboard. Agree with others, the OP needs to look at loading...or he could be water logged on starboard.

    Single point drain

    Fogging MPIs is such a PITA. No wonder I/Os are fading away. If you're relatively certain you'll be back on the boat is the spring I wouldn't fool with it.

    KY ABC Auction

    The bourbon craze continues. Plain Makers or Turkey 101 is as high end as i need.

    Trailer fit?

    Cut the remaining few inches off the bunks, even with the transom, as the part that protrudes may get in the way of tabs, transducers etc. that someone may want to mount.

    Engine size for Wooden Boat?

    Displacement hull and heavy. I doubt anything more than a 20 would buy you much.

    Another MPI fogging question

    Thanks Scott. Good info.

    Another MPI fogging question

    Out of curiosity just so I understand, when I disconnect the boats fuel line in order to connect a remote tank (Attwood 3 gal outboard tank) I plug the end of the boats fuel line. I have at times dropped the hose while fiddling with it yet no fuel came out. Additionally, when I go to connect...

    Does Anyone Know Any Halloween Songs?

    The song is from an opera by the name of Pagliacci. Can anyone name a Motown hit that makes reference to it?

    I just bought a 2025 Bayliner VR5 with the 200hp 4.5L Mercruiser, BARELY pulls me up slalom

    If you are wanting to do lots of water sports with that set up, drop to a 3 blade 17". You might spin up too high on rpm at WOT but just back it down.

    Single point drain

    Turn the valve, poke the block drains, should be good to go. It should be sitting level or close as you can get it.

    Single point drain

    To clarify a few things...you're in NH right? So freshwater boat right? Are you winterizing on the trailer or in the water? The blue plug on the side of the thermostat housing is to be used to vent the cooling passages if you are draining it while still moored in the water. If in the water...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I see these center consoles with 6 engines and I just don't see how fiberglass alone holds up that weight/torque. It would seem like steel braces or something would be required. Even in your case...geez all that weight cantilevered over that far? Will there be any way to inspect those areas...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Others know more than me at this level but it seems having duo props on a twin installation would make no sense.

    Mercruiser 5.0 Mpi issue

    My 2002 5.0 MPI has 1,618 hours. Still turns 5000 rpms runs like new. All fresh water trailered though.

    Mercruiser exhaust question

    My MPI has the three studs and nylon lock nuts 10mm that hold it tight. They are very easy to get on/off. That's a great thought tho Scott. Hadn't thought of something like that. My only other thought is some kind of ventilation going on.

    A video/audio would help.
