    Best prop Bayliner 185 4.3 MPI

    Hi there. It's a hassle trying a range of different props so figured I would ask for first-hand experiences. Can you please give me your experience as to the best prop for use on a 2003 Bayliner 185 with a Mercruiser 4.3 MPI. We use it mainly for wakeboarding, skiing and tubing so holeshot...

    Hi there. I've just bought a '03 Bayliner 185 with the Mercruiser 4.3MPI to replace a '96 Four Winns Horizon 170 with a Volvo Penta 3.0. The 185 is running a Mercury Marine Revolution 4 S/S 48-857024A46 17P prop. The boat has plenty of power and speed but I'm disappointed in the speed and...

    Johnson 120 drill exhaust relief

    Ski prop for Glastron SEI 175

    Hi there, I'm looking at buying a 17' 1996 Glastron SEI 175 with a 3.0 Mercruiser LX stern drive. The boat needs a new prop and seeing as it's a common fitout I wonder if someone could recommend an ideal prop (probably S/S) that works well for them. The boat will be used 99% for family skiing so...

    Johnson 120 bogging on hole shot

    Hi there, I have a 1985 Johnson 120 VRO outboard (V6 gearbox) on a 15 foot runabout that we use for waterskiing. Unfortunately the motor “bogs down” when starting off (ie trying to pull up a skier) which renders deep water starts on a single ski impossible and some larger people even struggle...
