    14.5x19 prop. Contemplating a change, need advice

    since you already have the Michigan wheel, try it. It's free, and at least it will help you decide what prop you might need to get. You're 1000 rpm's low @ WOT. yep, your lugging.....and is the motor healthy.

    Slip/moored boat what do you do with your trailer?

    yeah, my marina charges for trailers on property during the season ($50/month). Off season is "free" for slip holders.

    entitlement has become a mainstay in practically every venue of life. to hell with anyone else's rights. why should we expect anything different on the water.

    Fish Finder Menu Map

    have you tried this? I have the uhd2 echo 53. Like you, I do not find the menu process intuitive at all, but only into second season. It did help me get into the transponder settings etc..

    How much slip does your prop have ?

    well, no...not directly. but if propping a boat, blade # and diameter still affect the max rpm @WOT, just like blade pitch does. If a 3 blade 14x14 is at 18% slip, then a 3 blade 15x14 ....or a 3-16x14 would give different slip % ?....the chart says no?... you're saying the "thrust" changes but...

    How much slip does your prop have ?

    I've posted this before. It is 3 different props all giving the same performance #'s . Plugging in the #'s give different slip percents. wonder what the % slip is at different rpms. I ran a merc 3-16x12 for a few years to pull tubes full of teen agers. I wanted higher rpms under load. Plugged it...

    How much slip does your prop have ?

    If my prop only gets me to the upper half of my rpm range, I'm changing my prop (which I did) regardless of what the slip is, I'm propping to rpm....which you did.... which, BTW, is the recommended sticky on this website. There is no mention of "slippage" as a propping tool....just say'n.

    How much slip does your prop have ?

    but what difference does "slip" make if I'm hitting my proper rpm @WOT? Any change in pitch, diameter, or blade count is either going to put me above or below my ideal rpm, right?..... I've wondered about this for awhile.

    Time to replace tires?

    I have the harbor freight manual tire changer. Modified with the Lucid Autowerks duckbill mount/demount attachement. I strengthened the bead breaker, no welding, by inserting metal spacers/ bolts between the arms. It bolts to the garage floor using concrete threaded inserts. I have a bead setter...

    Time to replace tires?

    I was kinda poking the bear, thought I'd get "roughed" up a little being the small ones....didn't happen😁 anyways' it's what my tandem pontoon trailer was equipped with. I get the highest load rate out there, So 4 @ 1600lbs apiece...gives me a little piece of mind pulling a 24' toon. yep...

    Jacking a pontoon onto logs/pvc to roll into lake

    It'll hold. The structural part of a toon log are at the welded sections between the separate compartments and the rear. Since the board will span the length, the toon will be supported.

    nice show...great location

    They flew the F-105 "B" model. If memory serves without looking it up, they flew it for 9 months after replacing the F-100 "C" model. Then suffered a structural failure of a wing, and moved back into the F-100 "D" model. Thanks, but unfortunately, the collection is now about 50-50 diecast and...

    nice show...great location

    It's just my second time so I'm a ways from burnout. I was attempting to get past the restricted area that ends just past the 450 bridge, but I was too late. I though it might be better than where I was...( and it might be)...dunno. But this year I knew I wanted to be a lot more in the center...
