Sorry…..I have not been on TB in a while. I used 1/2 inch. I cut two of them from a 12 x 24 sheet. Haven’t had any issues with them. They stayed put and will probably outlast me.

My rig is just under 1400 lbs. I tow it with a Jeep Renegade TrailHawk. It’s a 2017 with a 2.4 liter 4 cyl. 2000 lbs towing capacity. I have had zero towing issues since I bought it (new) Previiusly I was towing it with a Honda CRV. It was maxed out…..but it still handled it without issue.

Pic number one looks like the mount for a type of rod holder I have seen where the holder is a pipe with the end flattened to fit into that slotted area.

Yes……the higher pitch can add top end but slows acceleration and may stop you from achieving hole shot. When pulling tubes or skis you want to lower pitch to keep rpm’s up and be able to plane with the added weight.

Only law enforcement and motor vehicle employees can run your registrations or plates and even they are subject to oversight when they do. That being said, in todays world of people taking offense over just about anything, it’s best to not give too many details about who you are online. I would...

If you are tightening to the point of needing tools, then why bother using a wing nut?

I wasn’t aware of that one…….That’s a good buy.

Stainless props tend to have more cupping than their aluminum counterparts…….so they hang on a little better at higher trim levels and provide bette grip in fast tight turns. with a 60hp you won’t notice much difference………..as you go up in hp it’s more significant.

It’s not really the warranty bringing in that price. It’s the dual purpose that makes that Dakota 135 ah special. These other brands discussed here including the Vmax I bought can not crank a starter. As a deep cycle the Dakota has all the updated features including battery heating for...

What a find……….Im not sure I would be able to part with that.

I made backer plates from Kings Starboard. I drilled holes where the swivel would be and put nylock tee nuts on the underside. I then used self tapping screws with some marine LocTite to mount the backer board to the bench. Mounted my swivels over the tee nuts. Came out pretty good and has held...

I think these batteries are bad luck. Since I got mine it has been raining every moment that I’m not working.

If your motor sits too low in the water then you will also pick up tons of torque steer from dragging the plate in the water. Try raising the motor a little so your plate is just at the surface while at WOT.

Without power trim you will never have optimum speed, rpm, and trim for all scenarios. Most boats achieve WOT optimum rpm by using the power trim while under way. If you left the trim at that setting and stopped the boat, then tried to get back up without trimming down, you would never get on...

I had a 13 ft v hull aluminum with a 15 hp 4 stroke Yamaha tiller that would hit 28 + mph. My Tohatsu 9.8 would do almost as well………It’s all about having the right prop, rpm, and engine height…..Not to mention that each boat and how you load/balance it is different. If you want to dial it in for...

Same here…….

I normally kill an AGM in about 5 years…If my Lithium last that long, at the current pricing, worst case is breaking even but with reduced weight and faster charging. Still sounds good to me.

Some can operate down to 0 degrees F. It’s the charging you don’t want to do while below 32 degrees f. More updated features actually include battery warners on board…….

The max. draw listed for the TM is not the normal working load draw you will see in use. It’s going to be much lower. That 56amp number is if you are on full max. power and your prop gets caught up in the weeds. It will draw that momentarily……..and your circuit breaker or fuse will trip. My xi3...

Yes…most adults know this…….but sometimes a wrench falls from your hand……or some fresk accident happens. The battery was sold to the consumer as having protection for that.……Is it ok to market features that end up not really being there? Weise did that too……they marketed thermal protection as a...
