Update from the weekend: motor was almost 3 inches below where it should have been. without it being on the trailer (on a lift in the water), a friend of mine and I were able to lift the motor up almost as far as it will go. It is not where it should be 100% for location but what a difference. I...

The experiments will begin Friday lol. In having looked at the motor placement further through suggestions, the anti- ventilation plate seems to be 2 inches or so under the keel line of the boat, which is a big no no. Old owner i know took the motor off at one point and probably installed it...

Prop Wizard came back with a 11 pitch. In speaking with ken at Prop gods and like others have stated, I have to get to the motor and see where the cavitation plate lines up with the keel to see if I need to move the motor up, which in looking in pictures I have, i am not with the boat now, I...

Thank you DaleH and thank you K13west i will give them the day to respond. I will be getting a tach on it this weekend, hopefully sooner rather than later, in doing my slip calculation I appear to be in the mid to low 30s which is not good on the current 9 ptich (if I am hitting the 6000rpm). I...

I plugged it in, waiting for them to respond, system did not pull. But thank you one thing i thought was weird that some peopleand mechanic are telling me to go to a 8 ptich? merc says 11 and mechanic say ran best with a 9? (again he only ran a 10 and a 9

thank you for the Gulvit post this seems like a bottom coating type material, it shouldn't add too much weight I would think? good idea to just coat the whole bottom?

yanked it on Friday evening, let drain, got underneath it, found most of the rivets dripping, also pulled the floor and found that someone used 2inch plant foam (like the stuff that you poke the stems in and retains water) was used as ballast foam. Must have removed water wait of close to 60lbs...

My neighbors have been great they have been watching it twice a day for me here is the update: another day yesterday and this morning: nothing yesterday am (less than 3 second pump when last pumped about 8pm prior) then yesterday at about 6pm pumped about 25 seconds, this morning less than a 5...

ha-ha wish that was the case, my neighbors have actually watching it twice a day this week because I had to come back to work this week to pay the bills lol

definitely not swamping the boat, also mooring cover on it. I am wondering if the back and fourth is allowing suction around the drain plug and when it is sitting obviously no suction there for no seaping I am thinking about pulling it again and letting it sit The other thing I am thinking...

Hi new to the forum after lurking for a little bit, as I just purchased a 85 Monark modified v hull Jon boat it has a 20 hp evinrude and. 40lb thrust foot controlled thruster ( a little underpowered but gets the job done and keeps me under regulations and rules though) So here is my problem-...
