    Vp aq270

    sounds like the tilt mechanism is working properly, it is not meant to be power trim, just tilt for putting it on a trailer. you can run it tilted up at idle speed but only halfway up if needed in shallow water. I would not expect it to stay up when trailering either, put a strap on it to keep...

    Replace plywood decking on pontoon

    when I replaced my deck, I sourced some plywood from a local boat dealer that was treated with the old chemicals that do not react with the other metal on the boat. it was also kiln dried following the treatment. very nice stuff. if you go with marine grade, I wouldn't try to seal it. you're...

    Please help ....

    I don't think you'll be able to put on a new bellows without pulling the upper gear box. if it all works as it should, you could get some use out of it, but if you don't want to spend money or time on this boat, cut your losses and buy an aluminum boat with an outboard

    Please help ....

    the shaft doesn't come out with the ujoints. the ujoints have a female end that goes over the driveshaft. however, yes it's corroded onto the driveshaft. slidehammer may work...I've never had to do it. I would also assume the driveshaft bearings are bad as well. get yourself a manual.

    Adding a 3rd pontoon

    give us some more info about what you're working with. toon diameters, motor horse power would be helpful. I added a third tube to my toon and couldn't be happier. I can't answer your question the way it was asked, but I have a 24 foot boat with 24 foot tubes. I added an 18 foot tube of the...

    Toilet Installation Mishap . . .

    the better Kohler models have a metal bracket pre mounted to the bottom of the tank that the bolts mount into so you don't have to worry about the bolts helping to make the seal in the tank. the bracket also has feet that touch the bowl to indicate when it's tight enough. they also have...

    Yamaha 60hp to 90hp on a pontoon

    while the prop on a planing hull can make dramatic differences with water sports, I would say that this boat is lacking the speed needed to scare the grandkids. it's hard to believe a prop is going to give him the extra speed he's looking for. unless, of course, he is underproped, which would...

    I'd go with the 90 if it fits your budget, I can tow 2 tubes with my 90, with top speed of 27 mph running alone.

    Computer Help!!

    got it running again. called my old computer guy, he helped me over the phone, no charge. this was the wake up procedure: without turning it off, unplug. then hold the power button for 10 sec to drain off any remaining "juice". plug back in, hit the power button, works! he thinks it may have...

    Column Replacement

    your way would probably be fine. You could leave a few inches at the top and use a bracket like this one. You would have to wrap the bracket with some 1x matetial if you want to hide it...

    Computer Help!!

    I just updated my tower with a new HP tower I picked up. I bought it a while back but finally got around to switching it out with the old one. The switch went very well, got my files transferred, etc. So, yesterday, I went to use the computer and it won't start. Pardon me if my terminology...

    Tankless Hot Water Heater Recommendation

    there are many factors to consider. if you're sold on tankless, then go for it, but I would consider all options. if space is the biggest concern, tankless is the best, but if you have space for a tank, there are other options that may be cheaper to operate and cheaper upfront to buy.

    Engine Height

    my pontoon has them, if those are what he's talking about... I agree the transom looks to high and too small for that motor. but from the description, a bad prop hub seems like the first thing to check.

    23’ Harris pontoon w/ 135 plowing in back

    I would like to add, from my experience with my boat, the 3rd tube will not lift the rear of the boat. I added an 18' tube to my 24 footer a few years back, it sits about 2 feet in front of my motor pod, and is even with the other tubes at the front. I am very pleased with the results...
