    I don't believe that's much different then the stock 3-blades, maybe a bit lower. Real question is the fuel burn. What were your flowscans saying?

    Can't wait to hear about this. Does anyone have their cavitation plates under water?? Mine are just below the surface and if I trim up anymore the engines suck air. What is the average cost of the 4-blades so I can figure a return on investment? Did they let you try a couple different size...

    BOOM !

    Noticed sidewall cracking on the sunny side of the trailer. I use the trailer twice, to launch and retrieve and tow the boat less than 10-miles each time, going less than 60-MPH. Is that sidewall cracking, in my case, reason for concern??

    Robert, lubing the pump shaft is a given, but mineral oil in the bowl has me scratching my head. What moving parts does it lubricate?

    Sailfish Head

    Don't think it's a DYI project. Mine had severe corrosion and some internals were bad. Infrequent use...to me anyways...means a spackle bucket is the answer.

    Sailfish Head

    If a women is involved, the best way to do this is the electric freshwater conversion. I think it's about $400 with the solenoid and the queen simply pushes a button, not churn butter. Fairly large job but once it's done it's done. And...you cycle the water in FW tank which is a good thing.

    Sailfish Head

    Groco here in Maryland. Should be able to get anything you need. I'd use the fresh water faucet if I were you. If you would have seen my macerator you'd know why and 400-clams later...

    Yamaha Trim Tilt Seal Removal

    I keep grease on my ram. After awhile it just congeals around the cylinder dust seal, and I just slather more on. Also, dirt may be causing the leak. It may help to take a piece of film negative and slip that down between the piston rod and seal and rotate it around the piston rod...

    Rub Rail End Caps

    Yep, Mike at Taylor Marine told me the same thing. If you search there's a guy that made them out of stainless, and they looked really nice. Said he need several orders to warrant tooling and the cost was $75 a pair, I believe. I've replied to the thread but haven't received anything. Think...

    Battery Charger

    If the battery was fully charged to begin with, I didn't think the charger would noticed the frig cycling on or off. I thought the charger would notice the battery being drained and begin to gradually generate the required amps to maintain a full charge. I notice when I first turn my frig on...

    Rub Rail end caps

    Ok we have a problem. Mike at Taylor Marine said Grady discontinued this part. That's a real drag cause I need one. We have a member, 192, that made a set from 316SS. His post said he needed 5-guys to commit to make it worth-wild. I replied that I'm in. Maybe he go public and fill the...

    Battery Charger

    Every 2-years?? Holy smoke! That sure doesn't seem right. The Doc is usually spot on with just about everything, but I question the harm it causes leaving the charger on with the fridge. Been doing it for years.

    Helm pump

    To save some money I use aviation hydraulic fluid, much cheaper than the Seastar stuff and it's red so any leaks are easy to see.

    I just check ebay and they're not there. Taylor Marine has an old ebay listing that's expired. I just sent them a question asking if they're going to relist them. They are about $30 shipped.
