    Stiff throttle, and it's not the cables or shifter!

    Motor should not stall when shifting. Ever. Your post says “stiff throttle” , twice. Then you are working on the shift linkage. Is it the throttle or the shifting that is giving you trouble?

    Propping Twins Preference/ Theory

    Say I have a boat with twins. I/O or outboard, doesn’t matter. Boat has adequate power, but is not a high speed cruiser. Used for cruising the Great Lakes. The question: Would you prop for max rpm and performance, or would you prop with lower pitch, so the boat can get on plane in the event...

    Easier time putting on the trailer

    Actually not. The skid would lift the trailer up and the tire would be rolling up onto the ramp before the drop axle would hit the ramp. All would be good, unless you had a flat tire, but you likely you could still pull it out.

    Easier time putting on the trailer

    Not my idea, but thanks. They have proved helpful at least 6 times. Maybe more, hard to say. I believe there was a company selling them about 8-10 years ago. But they were very light duty in my opinion. And appeared to be a one size fits all approach, that didn't fit well.

    Easier time putting on the trailer

    But Ohio doesn’t have 15,000 lakes like here. Many of our ramps are on national forest land, or National park land. And if they rebuilt the ramps, more people with go~fast boats would be on the smaller pristine lakes. You don’t need a go-fast boat on a 1000 acre lake.

    Easier time putting on the trailer

    I welded up some skid plates and installed them in front of the trailer tires. They extend down below the axle. If there is a hole or drop off, the trailer slides back up onto the ramp. They came into use last month when I used the ramp at Chequamegon waters flowage.
