    Smart Tabs

    Re: Smart Tabs OK here is the pic of my transom. Here is the original mount that straddles the mounting flange on the tab. Because it straddles the mount when it is mounted at the required angle the center hit when they are up. the replacement mount they sent mounts off to one side so there...

    What brand and model

    What brand and model of 3 blade stainless prop works best for ski boats. I'm looking for a good hole shot and smooth ride. I know I need a 14x19 or 14x20. with my current solas 14x21ss I cant really trim up much and i can only hit 4000 rpm. It doesn't seem to get the back of the boat out of the...

    Nauticus Install

    I am putting smart tabs on my 2008 Tahoe Q7i. I have done my research and think it will be pretty easy. I called Nauticus to get their recommendations also because someone here said something about a special non-binding fitting they would send me. The gentleman I spoke with was very nice but...

    Bay Question

    We go to Pensacola for vacation every spring. Would my 21' Tahoe Q7i be safe to use in Santa Rosa Bay? I know I would have to flush everything when we got back I just didn't know if that style and size boat would be appropriate there for a intermediate boater.

    Bimini Top

    Has anyone tried putting a standard 6' or 8' Bimini under the factory wakeboard tower? The tower bimini's just arent big enough.

    Bimini Top

    I am going to attempt to install a 6' bimini under my factory tahoe wakeboard tower. I will have to stretch the legs out about 4 inches on each side for it to be narrow enough to go under. I would get a tower bimini but they are very short and are so high up they lose their effectiveness or are...

    Too Cool

    I have a 2008 5.0L MPI that will not get the temp above 125. I guess the t-stat must be stuck open. I did confirm the readings with an IR temp guage. Question is should I leave it alone till the end of the season or go ahead and change it? I just got this boat and did notice it uses...

    Prop or tabs first

    My question is should I install smart tabs before or after dialing in the prop? If the prop puts me where I want to be maybe I wont need the tabs, but do the tabs change the performance of the prop if I decide I want them anyway. I have a 2008 tahoe q7 21 bowrider with the 5.0 MPI 260hp merc...

    Lost and Found

    We found a 2 man towable tube and 60' rope floating in the lake (Greer's Ferry Higden, Arkansas) so I am doing my due diligence to find the owner. If this is yours describe it to me and I will return it. I know this is the best way since everyone that owns a boat belongs to this forum :) Besides...

    Silly Question

    My coffee hasn't settled in this morning. Which way do you turn the distributor to retard the timing on a chevy v8. I think its counter clockwise but the thinker is not so confident anymore. When restarting the engine kicks back a little when its warm but otherwise runs great so i'm gonna bump...

    Bandwagon 1+1

    We tried this out for the first time yesterday and it worked very well with one person on the back or one sitting on the front. If there were two people the one in the back would get bounced very bad. I aired it up until the 12v pump would do no more. Do you think it still needs more air? It was...
