Nice Work! You have skills the majority of us wish we had! Planning to modify the transom on the old boat to accommodate the increased motor height?

Right up there with a Three Wise Men or a Prairie Fire (Disgusting!) o_O

Agreed

Sounds like way too much pitch for a 60hp.....looking at the specs posted above with 10 & 11 pitch options. Heck, I run a 14 pitch on my 150 and could realistically go to a 13 pitch.

Mine is mounted at as low as it can go as far to the outside as it can go on the port toon bracket. Works all the way through WOT. Same transducer as Michiman.

https://club.benningtonmarine.com/threads/cleat-upgrade.9859/#post-130145 I did this upgrade 3 years ago. Totally worth it in my opinion.

My guess is that, because we usually wait the very end of boating season to pull the boat from the lake, the water drains out or evaporates. Most years the boat sits up on Sea Legs for a good month with no use and then gets driven straight to the landing to get pulled. I really need to do a...

I’ve let it be for now as it’s never been enough water that it’s been an issue. Of course I say that and this summer it’ll start listing or riding lower.

I have heard water sloshing in my toons off and on for years (bought used in 2016). Typically it doesn't sound like very much and by the time I get it to the dealer for end of season service, the sound is gone. However, last year, my center toon was sloshing when I brought it in so I pointed...

2013 2375 GCW

Check capacity on the trailer before doing anything. All trailers are not made equally. Our 2375GCW is approaching 4,500lbs so we ended up buying a trailer with a 5,500lb rating. My neighbor has a 2,500lb capacity pontoon trailer that our boat would crush.

We've owned our tritoon since 2016 and the boat sits on Sea Legs from May to September every year. We keep it 6" to 8" off the water with the legs far from fully extended. We've never had an issue with the Sea Legs by not fully extending them. Fully extending the legs would make the boat very...

Another vote for the raised helm - I'm clumsy as hell and have never tripped on it in the 5 years we've owned our G.

I have a trailer that was less than a year old (now 5) when the majority of the welds were rusted. I complained and the manufacturer (not Yacht Club) said it was my fault because they believed I pulled it in the winter and got salt on it (which I hadn't). My thought was they didn't prep the...
