    Transom Transducer Mounting Location

    Thanks all. I think I have it mounted properly now. Now the question is to get the best readings, should it be level with waterline at rest , or slightly up so that when at plane it level with bottom?

    255 vs 225 water length

    The best riding hulls have a 3.1 ratio. Length / beam. Example is 25’ length divided by 8’ beam. 28’ length divided by 8.5’ beam.

    Wheels locked on trailer

    I go through this every year. I store the trailer through the summer only to find the wheels all locked up on the disc brakes. I take the time to flush the wheels and brakes thoroughly. What am I missing? Is there something I should be doing to prevent this?

    04 Yamaha F150 corrosion
