    2011 Q7i Smart tabs

    Re: 2011 Q7i Smart tabs I put mine over a chine, it was the only way to mount the post flush and keep them as far apart as possible. I see a "little" pair of rooster tails from the tabs that maybe goes out 10 foot from the back of the boat but it doesn't effect those I'm pulling at all. The...

    Trolling motor install on Deck boats, plus front mount fish detector (Tahoe 216)

    Re: Trolling motor install on Deck boats, plus front mount fish detector (Tahoe 216) Here is the shot from the fishing seat looking down. If you have a bigger display, you would of course need a little more room. In this position I have to make sure the trolling head docks with the blades...

    Trolling motor install on Deck boats, plus front mount fish detector (Tahoe 216)

    Re: Trolling motor install on Deck boats, plus front mount fish detector (Tahoe 216) The next issue is the standard electrical hookup offered by Tahoe. My 21.5 foot boat needs at least a 65 ft lb thrust motor. I went with the 24V 80 ftlb Terrova on a 60 inch shaft. They sell 54 as well, that...

    Trolling motor install on Deck boats, plus front mount fish detector (Tahoe 216)

    Hi all, I finally finished up the install of my Terrova troller with integrated sonar transducer on the front deck of my Tahoe 216. I have seen a couple of threads with example pics but I thought I'd give a little more detail on my install job as I think it might be helpful. The universal...

    Re: Post Pics of Your Tahoe and Upgrades! Here is the wakeboard tower that the prior owner did. I probably wouldn't have shelled out the bucks for it, but hey I'll take it used.

    Depth finder location/photos?

    Re: Depth finder location/photos? This is a smaller Humminbird with lots of features. I don't need a big screen here as I am sitting right next to it. I wanted GPS and maps while driving so I would know where on the lake I was and in finding waypoints. This is a 385 combo. I am also...

    216 WT - trolling motor in, now the boat lists to port under throttle

    So I installed my Terrova 80 which is a 24V system, and two Group 27's in the mounting location provided by Tahoe. That's a total of about 180 pounds before tax. With a passenger in the other spot behind the windshield the boat lists to port a couple of degrees. The same weekend as I added...

    Livewell pump location on 216WT

    Hello all! I'm new here, just bought a 2007 216WT with 5.0 MPI with 55 hours. She was in great shape but needs a couple little things here and there. In a while I'll post pics of my new fish finder install (turned out better than I imagined), Terrova install (heroic but beautiful) and my...
