    2016 215xi - Mercury Enertia ECO Prop?

    Current stock aluminum prop is putting the RPM's at 5300-5400 RPM with the 4.5L 250hp Mercruiser. It shows the upper limit at approximately 5200 RPM. Has anyone made the switch to the Stainless Mercury Enertia ECO stainless prop? If so what pitch did you go with? Appreciate any info you can...

    2016 Mercruiser 4.5L - 6 Warning Beeps?

    I've googled it and looked in my manual. Can't find the answer. Haven't called the dealership yet as they are closed until tomorrow. This is a new boat and engine with about 20 hours on it total. The 6 warning beeps will occur when idling up to cruising speeds. None of the gauges show...

    Are Trim Tabs the Answer for List? Leveling the Deck Boat while On Plane

    I'm loving the new boat but one issue is it leans to the left (from the drivers perspective looking forward, sorry never have been good at the port & starboard thing). I'm sure this is caused by a couple of reasons. 1. The trolling motor batteries are located on that side of the boat, 2. The...

    Mercruiser 4.5L 250hp - Anybody else have it and what are your opinions so far?

    Mine has roughly 15 hours on it now with no issues (as you would hope!). This is my first I/O as all previous experience was strictly with outboards. First impressions are great. Quiet, sounds awesome when opened up. Accelerates very nicely. Is producing good top end numbers for a deck boat...

    Mercury Enertia Props - Experience with them?

    My dealer suggested this series of props for my 2016 Tahoe 215Xi w/250hp 4.5L Mercruiser. I'm wanting to switch from aluminum to SS. Read a couple of articles on tests and I do like the claimed increase in fuel economy while still performing well on the low and top end. BUT, nothing speaks...

    Removable Depth Finder for Deck Boat?

    Just purchased a 2016 Tahoe 215 Xi Deck Boat. Added the trolling motor as we like to fish as well. Here is the issue. I have the in dash depth meter in the helm but that does me very little good on the trolling motor. The trolling motor has a quick disconnect so that I can remove it for more...

    2016 Tahoe 215 Xi Deck Boat - Switching from Aluminum to Stainless

    Anybody out there already made this switch? I just prefer a stainless prop over aluminum. Picking up this new boat on Saturday and it comes with a "factory matched" aluminum prop. Can't find the specs on it. Boat has the Mercruiser 4.5L 250hp motor. What are you using and what are the...

    2001 Lowe Tahiti 224 w/150HP Evinrude Outboard - Which Prop?

    I appreciate the help in advance. Just bought this boat (my dad bought it new) and it has always had the RPM's top out at about 48-4900. I think this is a bit low. Am I right? Current prop is an aluminum 3 blade 14.5/19. I like the aluminum props due to trees in some of the areas we fish and if...
