A few weeks ago I posted "Hit the mud" and "Lighter boat", or something like that. Finally got the boat back in the water and it was the prop. What a relief. As for the lighter boat post, I found my boat floats nicely in low water where my dock is. No people only 6 to 8" waterline with motor up of coarse. I don't have tilt trim so motor up we pull or paddle to dock.
To my question. What would you suggest to get to my dock without me getting wet or putting in manual labor paddling. (A) trolling motor? (B) One of those CMC tilt trim units, or (C) I have a opportunity to buy a same year merc 115 with controls and tilt and trim, Hes asking $600 but probably get him down to $400. Don't know if motor runs but is complete. Or is there a (D)
Planing question. At 25 -30 mph boat planes out real nice. But since Water is so low, I'm kinda scared to run fast till i get to know the lake better. At 15 to 20 I can't get the front down. Would the tilt trim solve this? I'ld assume so, but just gotta ask the dumb question.
