    Depth finder location/photos?

    Re: Depth finder location/photos? In my Q6 I put the RAM mount in the cup holder. There are 2 more cup holders right behind the seat if I need one. I really like where it's mounted as it's out of the way of the shifter and all of the gauges are visible. The only thing I wish I would've done...

    2nd Battery Question

    My '06 Q6 is wired for a trolling motor although I've never used it, never even had a second battery in it. I just installed an amp and added the second battery for it. Do the trolling motor wires run that battery through the alternator so it charges? Thanks Hal

    Speaker Upgrade

    As a winter project, I'm planning to upgrade the speakers in our '06 Q6. I would like to add 2 more in the bow and wonder if anyone has done this. If I use a wire snake will I be able to feed the wire from the starboard side through the bow around to the head unit on the port side? Also if...

    Hull Thickness

    I was thinking about screwing a couple of hooks on the inside walls of our '06 Q6 for bungees, etc. and was wondering if anyone had any idea how thick the sidewalls were. I'd sure hate to have a screw sticking out the side of the boat, haha.

    Armrest

    Does anybody know where I can get a couple of flip up armrest to mount in the bow of my Tahoe? I've checked West Marine and Overton's with no luck. Thanks

    Removing Glue Residue

    I want to change the numbers on my boat. What is the best thing/trick to get the glue residue off of the gelcoat? I was thinking GooGone but was hoping for some secret tip. Thanks

    Mercruiser shifting hard?

    I have a new to us '06 Tahoe with the 5.0 mercruiser and have just had it out 4 times in relatively cool water (around 60-65 deg) When the boat is cold, it shifts really hard to the point that you can't get it into neutral after backing it off the trailer. It bumps from reverse to forward and...

    Newbie Question - Oil Drip

    I just got our new to us Tahoe back from having the 100hr service done. I had it done so that I would know what I'm starting out with as we are planning to splash it for the first time this week. Anyway, I got it home Saturday, backed it in the garage, let the foot down, and Sunday morning I...

    New To Us Boat Question

    We bought our first I/O, an '06 Tahoe Q6, in December and other than a test ride, haven't used it yet. The plan is to take it to Florida in a couple of weeks in search of warmer weather. The boat has probably less than 50 hours on it. Would it be worth it and should I have the 100 hour...

    Tilt/Trim Switch on Tahoe

    I want to install another tilt/trim switch on the back of our Tahoe and wondered if there would be any harm in mounting it under the swim platform. I'd kind of like for it to be out of the way and the only time I'll probably use it is when it's on the trailer. I bought the switch at Bass Pro...

    Johnson 8hp questions

    I just picked up a Johnson 8hp and have a couple of questions. Under the serial number is a "CE" with 96 next to it. Is this a 96 model motor? Also on the tiller, the end of the throttle has a knob that rotates, what is this? Also, is the fuel mixture 50:1 like my '76 evinrude 9.9? Thanks...
