When we kept our boat in the water we used to take time out every time we went out to clean the water line and under the toons! Didn't take long! We just worked it in part of the day! Plus we didn't want it to accumulate! This would have made it easier!
Welcome to the forum Losman. Next time you go out while sitting at the ramp or dock trim your motor up/down to several heights/levels then check the gauge to see if it correlates with the gauge! You can physically see the position of your motor/trim! If it doesn't match the position on the gauge...
When I had water in my starboard toon in my old boat I took it to a marine TIG welder. He drilled a hole in the bottom of the toon and all the water took several minutes to drain out! He then installed a threaded bung hole in case I needed to use it in the future.....
We have an Enertia 14.75 Diameter 17P on our Mercury 150! Great hole shot for skiing. Top end with both biminis deployed this year is 39/40. I was told that we would benefit with a 15P but this is the prop that came with it and we're happy with its performance!
We had a 2008 Expedition that just turned 100000 miles before we sold it last year! But it was in new condition! 68 people inquired about it on FB Marketplace and a bidding war broke out! Loved that vehicle!!!
Our Mercury 150 is pretty quiet! I've gotten on it and asked my wife why she hasn't started it to warm it up and it was already on! It's also quiet underway. Don't know what to tell you!
Simrad transducer update..........Moved the bracket holding the transducer as far down as I could. We were on the water yesterday so we had all day to test it! When we first started out I held my breath when we hit the 18 mph mark but it kept reading......until 26.8! First time it read the depth...
When we kept our boat in the water every time we took the boat out we would take time to wipe all 3 pontoons! We will anchor in a no-wake zone Cove eat lunch and then jump in and start wiping. Didn't take long and we kept it clean of all the crap that could have accumulated on them!!!
