    Stingray 208 Turningpoint prop

    You need to know how much over the recommended max Rpm the engine goes, to help give you an idea of how much change in pitch is needed. I doubt your engine has a Rev Limiter which in my opinion is good, as that is one less thing to complicate the process. You say you still had more Throttle to...

    Suddenly boat stopped going into gear. Help!

    I have never seen any requirement to do so in any Owner's Manual. As to why I stated not to attempt to shift into gear without either the Propshaft or Driveshaft turning, is due to the design of the Gears and the Clutch Dog. As you have seen when looking at the Parts, the Gears have what are...

    Stingray 208 Turningpoint prop

    Stingray 208 Turningpoint prop

    Okay, no change in pitch, no change in Rpm, but lost 6-7 mph. Either your slip numbers went thru the Roof, otherwise the numbers aren't making any sense

    Help Identifying Boat! Fiberform

    A neighbour at the lake had the 1974 model of that boat. He had a 74 Evinrude 115 on it. I only saw him use it twice in 8 years, the rest of the time it sat in the water getting the hull all gucked up.

    From what I can see on the Turningpoint Website, 'Masterguard' is the brand name of the Hub Kits.

    Suddenly boat stopped going into gear. Help!

    And likely a lot of broken linkages, so the inventory of new parts is small, or low

    What is this hose?

    Any where there is a Current, the GPS will be off in both directions, as it is not taking the speed of the water into the equation. if the current is 6 mph, and the water Speedo is saying 20 mph, in one direction GPS will say 26mph, and going the other way, it will say 14mph

    Water in foot

    Water can also get in the Drain and Vent Holes, which is why it is important to replace the gaskets any time the screws are loosened

    Very quick 1975 25hp evinrude question

    105ft-lbs would ruin the Flywheel and quite possibly, the Crankshaft as well

    What is this hose?

    GPS has inherent Errors for watercraft as it is measuring speed across the bottom of the lake, not speed across the water.
