I have a 30 Yam 3 cyl on mine. I'm a fat dude. 330 lb. I run a 80lb Terrova on the front with 2 group 29 batteries up front. 6 gal tank in the back and a group 27 I use for the starting batt and the 2 depth finders and the livewell. With all the fishing gear. I can run right at 27-30 mph...

Supposedly the Tohatsu's use a better gear ratio to get more speed than the Merc. I know the guys racing the Havoc's and Edge duck boats are running the Tohatsu over the Merc for this reason in the stock form. But there has also been rumors of Tohatsu not standing behind their warranty on some...

The 35 jet is a 50hp powerhead. The actual 35 motor is really a 30. 35 was rated at the powerhead not at the prop like they do now.

Check out Clark and Kann boats before you do. Clark is in Bellevue, Ia and Kann is in Guttenberg, Ia. Kann boats are built like a tank!

The Ron Hills on ebay need work to run right. The Turbos are made by Yamaha. They usually run the fastest out of all the props for the 25-50hp

Where are you getting it done at?

Alumacraft sells a t-motor mount for that boat. I think I paid $30 for mine. Just put a piece of 3/4" ply under the top flat to help prevent the mount from bending. Keep an eye on the rivets for the floor. They did a bad job on mine and the floor has a bulge in it and pops up and down when you...

Try to bend it around the pin more. That will not cost anything

PowerTech makes all kinds of props that will fit

Yep, seen it a few times. You should have put the plate on the inside and then welded the bottom up and ground it smooth. It might work but not from what I have seen. One guy I know lost 5 mph because of this and another had all all kinds of air getting trapped in the prop because of it.

That plate on the bottom is going to cause a bunch of problems with how the boat runs. It will act as a break or cause tons of turbulence to the motor or both

Welded boats were meant to save labor cost and to speed production. It was supposed to save money for the consumer. But that is not how it is. If welding is so good, then why are aircraft riveted? The aluminum HAS to flex. Welds don't. That's why they all crack. Don't really care who makes it...

Just because it worked on 24v does not mean that it is a 24v motor. Post a picture and maybe we can find out for you what it is

Todd you can set the refresh rate faster if you want. I slowed mine down as it was jumping 50 rpm up and down. Now it acts almost as smooth as a real tach

Should be a linkage hooked up to the throttle somewhere.
