Just did a little reading and you need to start with a different prop. Enertia is a better choice.

I don’t know much about a Silverado prop but I would get a mercury enerta prop in 17 of 18 pitch and see where you are Silverado may be fine I’ve never had any experience with one though.

I’m not sure the issue he has with it other than it can be expensive to repair and takes up room in a storage compartment but I will add I wouldn’t buy a large outboard on a boat the size of a tritoon with out power steering. Even power assistance is not the same.

The center elliptical toon is larger making the boards lower in middle.

I have searched and searched and can not find how much lower to set my trailer in the center as compared to the outside 2 toons. 25q. With the center elliptical toon. I have seen it in a diagram but now I can’t find it.

Remediation what brand tires have you had good luck with? I am having trouble finding 10 inch tires that are rated high enough for for my 25r I have had 4 tires fail in 3 years trailering 60 mile round trip 20 times a year. 2 were barely over a year old. And they were only a few months old...

From what I have seen the saltwater package on a pontoon isn’t much different. Rinse it really good and have fun with it. Find a Bennington dealer on the coast and talk to them about the extra anodes now your steel trailer will age exponentially. I would rinse it extra or have your...

But they don’t rev as high as an outboard so it may not be far off if it is actually in the low to mid 4000 range.

Not to many people running inboards. But it does seem slow to me. Did you gps the speed?

I thought the same thing about laying it down but I leave it in the low position when trailering and ass soon as I get to the lake I just put both tops up and never think twice about it. April and early May I have taken it completely off and left it at home. But honestly that is more...

I’m a mercury guy but considering the size of the lake your on I would get the Yamaha and save some money. I don’t believe it will affect resale enough to matter. Most people don’t know or care about the differences as long as it runs good and isn’t a bear to turn.

do you have the v6 or V8 250 verado. If it is the new V8 leave it alone that is about all it will do. If it is the v6 go down to a 15 get the Rpms up and see if it helps any.

I would start with a 17pitch Mercury enertia prop.

What model boat do you have and what toon package do you have? There is not a general prop just for a motor is all about what the motor is pushing.

6400 with trailer doesn’t surprise me. Thank you for the information. Easily over 5k with gear and 60ish gallons of field.
