Thanks DennisG - looks like this is the same as the Series 148 mentioned above. I like this option!

Thanks skunk - fingers crossed this is the situation. Appreciate everyone’s responses!

Thanks for the tip!

Good call - i did check the thru hull and looks like it was replaced rather recently and is in good shape, but why they didn’t replace the hose at the same time is a bit baffling. I’m more concerned about the connection to the cooler since it’s a bit of a reach through the pie hole and will be...

Thanks - the deck drains directly through scuppers in the corners of the transom so no pipes to worry about there. This is the only drain pipe other than the one connected to the bulge pump. Thanks for the recommended numbers…

Hi everyone! Have a 1996 Tournament 192 and looking to replace the section of hose that drains the cooler behind the helm chair to the starboard waterline drain. It’s a pretty bendy route and looking at the hose there wondering if it was a premolded hose of if there is a rubber hose that will...

Were you able to fix it?

Thanks seasick - it’s a 96 hull. The spider cracking is really only on that last screw on the end. Your expansion comment makes sense. I yes I was thinking the nylon lock nuts with a flat washer. Appreciate your thoughts

Hey folks! what are your opinions on replacing screws with a thru setup on a windshield? See attached photo - this screw spins in place and there are some spider cracks emanating from the hole. Was thinking 316ss bolt with a washer and lock nut underneath the gunwale? I can get up there with...

beautiful boat, GLWS. When they stripped the bottom paint to the gel coat, did the soda blast? How did that come out?

Hey there - the trim tabs work really well, especially to balance out when cruising. We are a family of 5 so loading is never perfect, but dropping a tab when needed really helps. With water and oil tanks removed, moving batteries to port side balanced it for me

I like that Japanese torching method to accentuate the woodgrain

Just a quick update - up to about 15 hours on the new Merc 150. Really loving this motor and can't believe what a difference a new helm, steering system, hoses makes - wow! I've been running an aluminum black max prop 15.5 x 15p and am getting about 5700rpm w/ light load at WOT at just over...

Thanks SeanAh - yes I think I need to drop down one more inch in pitch and I’ll be there. Btw yours looks great - the flooring makes it look so warm and inviting :)

New Merc 150 is now mounted! Trying to figure out what size prop - 14.25" x 17 aluminum prop was only running 5200rpm (only prop the shop had to try). So I will be testing out my old Suzuki 14" x 18P (which is also a 15-spline prop, but will probably need different washers) to see how that...
