    Aqua Patio w/a 2004 75hp Yamaha outboard no power

    start with checking the kill switch. Check the ignition switch. Check neutral. When I say check, I mean do a good examination of connections. Using a DM for current checks. From there, you'll need to begin tracing back to see where the break/problem is. Or start at the battery. my initial guess...

    Anybody familiar with these "Spindo" repair sleeves?

    I used this for my spindle. It was a good fit and I used "green" threadlocker . It has worked fine. No, they are not supposed to rotate. not sure if they have your size.

    Trailer Load musings

    sorry, I don't intend to imply tongue weight is not important because it is. But if you have no problems towing, then what does it matter. If it's too light, you'll know it.....if it's too heavy, you'll know it. my axles are not welded, but I think my spring mounts are. Regardless, moving them...

    Trailer Load musings

    yep. I went from a 60 hp to a 115hp, and wondered if it would mess things up for trailering, but it didn't. So I don't care exactly what my tongue weight is. It'a tandem. I don't know what my options would have been if it messed things up as my bow stop is not adjustable.

    Transom saver or no?

Doesn't mean you can't, but....My placard says 115hp max, doesn't mean I can't physically put a bigger motor on it, but...... my saver twists into the center mounted...

    Transom saver or no?

    I don't know how much flex on an aluminum transom is too much as a repetitive force that would fatigue the aluminum. Some is allowed, I guess. Aluminum wings flex all the time and don't break....so I dunno. My point was with my boat, just to use as an example for someone asking a question. My...

    Transom saver or no?

    with all do respect: The original merc 60 4stroke on my pontoon did balance fairly evenly over the transom using the latch on the motor, which I later learned was not to be used for such. Regardless, any hand bouncing I did reflected the weight was centered over the transom. I didn't use a...

    Transom saver or no?

    I can't speak for a 35. That's a lightweight motor. For my 2021 Merc. 115hp, I use one. I was surprised at the bounce and flexing of the transom on my pontoon just by using my hands .
