It sounds like there is too much slack so if you can tighten that up, it should help the reverse, the start up lever and even forward should come in...

Sorry, outdated post

Well, the transom brace doesn't match mine. Mine is a cast aluminum, rather than stamped one. My boat is a 10-foot, (but actual distance is closer to...

My 1648 weldbilt has a canted transom, so there may be 5% or so tilt. Put on a 50/35 short shaft tiller and it needed to be lifted up to the last two...

I'm sure your right.
Does anyone have any speed guesses with this motor and a 18/52 and 18/56?

I'm running a 1648 weldbilt with a 2 cycle Tohatsu 50/35. Goes as fast as I want to go. It uses more fuel than a prop. It's a modvee with not much...

I don't think many of mass producers do, but plenty of custom boat builders do. For bigger manufactures I know Excel boats have longitudinal...

Update: Took the boat on the lake this past weekend. The weight of the deck and bow motor was fine. The 1542 was solid and stable.

No issues at all...

I have a 2019 Merc 60 40 jet and it’s done this from day one at idle. It is the impeller rubbing the wear ring.

I don’t want to have to get over the...

I have a new 2019 mercury 60 40 and it does the same thing from day one at idle and stops just above. I’m just past breaking in and still does it....

Does the boat have a tiller prop motor on it now? What size engine is on it? Usually you see 115/80 or 90/65 jets on 18ft boats but the 60/40 may...

The only differences in the 35 jet and the 40 jet are the stickers, price and programming. They are essentially the same engine. Mercury just...

I really was impressed that the holes were not more severe. After repairing my boat I took a picture of the rock with the water lower. I TOOK a chip...

haha :LOL2: I haven't done it to mine as I figured a really good polishing would be reuined the first time I suck any sand or gravel. I have taken my...

Thanks everyone! I love the pods on my 1448. I noticed a huge difference in planning out. My little 15hp 4 stroke prop will plain out and do 14mph...

don't take comments personally I wasn't knocking your boat. My biggest point was if you don't need a tunnel I wouldn't get one cause it will...

Thanks Riverdog, that stuff looks pretty slick. I was thinking to use the Zephyr polishing product, but seems like the SharkHide holds up better in...

Thank you Riverdog! Awesome little sheet and a lot of good information on it. So I could expect somewhere in the 30-35 ran up and down river most...

Would like to add that not everything that comes from china is junk... China is good at manufacturing. Specifically, in the sense that they will...

Thats sick bro. Wish I could have seen it on your last trip down here......

Just to dang expensive. Id buy new first. 15,000 OK

Well .... got down to the lake today to look at the wave rider up plan on using. The height of the motor is 19 1/2 inches the total length of the...

Agree totally with handyandy. Get a prop motor if that's what you use most of the time. Switching back and forth will get to be a PITA.

I have a 1648 Crestliner and I ran a 25/18 Johnson on it for 18 years. I never won any races, but it got up on plane without any problem, and did...

If you keep moving at speed, I've run through 3 of water and clipped a small rock with no damage. When you come off plane, it drops down and needs a...

I'm going to talk to my forum guy to see if we can do something with these pictures...Some setting to adjust them on the fly to spin them.

Nice job...
