    Advise on taking others out on your boat.

    power steering fluid cooler

    I am posting this after reading Mordekai's post: I just received a recall notice in the mail about mercruiser engines and the issue with the power steering cooler. It is not a straight Tahoe issue, it is with MerCruiser. I contacted my local dealer and they will take care of it. I did not...

    Stillhouse Lake Belton TX

    Does anyone know anything about Stillhouse lake. I was thinking of heading there for a day of water fun, but do not know abut the lake. Is there a lot of stumps out there, is it croweded, or is it even a nice lake? We are not looking to fish, just hang out and wakeboard, kneeboard and tube.

    2010 Q5I review

    Figured I would give a review of the 2010 Q5I for any one that is looking at getting a Tahoe. I have had this boat for about 2 weeks now and have been out on it 6 times. It has the 220 motor, snap in carpet, bow and **** pit cover, wake board tower and bimini top. I love this boat, it handles...

    How do you load your boat

    I have seen a lot of post out here about how everyone loads their boat onto the trailers, but figured each brand boat is different so why not asks the proud tahoe owners. I have a Q5I with 220. I back into the water until the top of wheel wells are just sticking out of water and then run the...

    fins on wakeboard

    I just got a wakeboard to try and learn on. It came with fins that are removable and are not attached. There are fins for the middle and then two on each side. Then the same set up for the rear of the board. My question is should I put all the fins on or just certain ones?

    Knee board from tower

    Is it better to pull a kneeboarder from the tower or ski hook? I know that you are not supposed to pull a tube from the tower, but could not see why a kneeboard would hurt, they seem like a wakeboard. Also 2 of the kneeboarders have never done it before, if that matters

    Tow rope question

    I have a body glove 2 section rope for 1-2 person towing. My question is this it has a foam float on it. The float is on the end that is 50' long. Is this the end the goes onto the tube? Does the 10' section attach to the boat? Not sure why you would even need a 2 section rope for this. It...

    Mercuriser 190 carb vs 220 MPI

    What are the differnces in these two motors other than 190 vs 220? I have heard that the carb motor will give you a little extra power if needed to pull a heavy person up, but the 220 gets better gas mileage. A lot of posts about the carb "dieseling", does the MPI not do that? Which is a...

    Wakeboard help

    My son is wanting to get into wakeboarding this summer. I have to admit that I have no clue about it. He is 10 years old, pretty tall and weighs about 105 pounds. How do the feet go into the board? He grows out of his shows all the time. Would I have to buy a new board every time his feet grow...

    Trailering with covers

    I was thinking about getting the bow and cockpit cover for my boat, when buy it. Can you pull long distances with these snapped in place? The boat will have a wake board tower and that is all that I see that would go around the tower. Does any body have any ideas? If so please help.
