OMG I picked the cheaper one - $2k a foot ??? But they are nice !!

OMG !!! I'd buy one in a Minute ! It's my bank account that won't let me !! I'd like a nice 18 footer and 40 hp Merc 2S long shaft with a cover pontoon lift for my lake.

Hi all, OK It's fixed !!! Quick summary, and I'm leaving out a LOT of Details. IT was the prop ..... Changed from ‎QA2030X Black Diamond 3-Blade Aluminum Propeller - 14" diameter x 11" pitch, Right Hand Rotation, 40 CT - 125 HP Mercury, Black Finish - changed to: Mercury Spitfire...

OK, After some more testing, I believe I have the cause and the Cure ... I have a prop coming for Friday that should be the fix all. I'll summarize and post ....

Hi, I don't understand? Can you be more specific ?? Was this comment about the pics ? Other Sites? Thanks

Hi All, 3 More Pics - to Show Cavitation burns on the forward facing sides of the blades. As I believe I have stated almost all cruising speed is done at slow speeds < 1.5K RPM for nice enjoyable slow rides (I do vary the speeds some ). But this damage IMO is due to the limited WOT...

I replied!

Pic of current / dealer original mounting of 2018 60hp 4s CT Long shaft on my 18' 2toon. 4 Blade prop due Monday PM.

I have some pics and measurements - but NOT of WOT and the Cavitation plate position in water. I did not want to leave the helm until I at least rig up an extension to the kill switch. Note: All pics here are at rest at the Dockside. Boat is normal load except for me. These pics are...

Thank you ... but no good. I have received nothing and checked my Spam, Nothing. I also tried to reset it again on my "not logged in machine" and it did say it sent me a reset Email - as before - but I have received nothing. Perhaps it's because I'm logged on on my other PC ?? But If I...

I was expecting my new 4 blade Mercury New OEM Spitfire 4 Blade Prop 13.8x10 Propeller 48-8M8026555 Pontoon today - but it had not shipped - contacted store ... Oh, he can't find it ... SO I reordered from Leaders RPM (my go to for quick ship and fast delivery). I wanted to do quick swap...

I forget to add in my password for this account into my password manager. I have 2 PCs and the other I rebooted for upgrade and now cannot log in that PC. THIS PC I can still use.... as I have not logged out. And, I can't change my password online as it wants my old password to change...

My 2 toon does have a "splash" ? Plate under the engine it's a ramp that attaches a couple feet in front of the engine on the bottom side of the floor and drop down as it ends at the end of the boat. There is a funny "V" attached to the bottom center end edge. Guessing here, Alu piece...

That's nice setup you have !!! I agree with what you said ... to clarify "my" point ... Mounting as You have done now insures that you have a reference surface to set the motor height. The Bottom of your pontoon is now in a position similar to the transom of the back of a boat...

I got so involved - I forgot too ... I'm going to collect some more tests/data in the next couple days and then I'll call and post any findings. I WILL Post my findings and any help I can be to others here ...
