Stainless props are pricey no matter whether you go OE or aftermarket like Solas or Powertech. You are going to want to run your rig first to be able to determine what size you truly need. Before...

They're little 4 bangers not V6's or V8's. They LOVE to rev.

4.9-5.0 mpg at wide open throttle on the 115's.

Stinger 175. I think the largest motor you can fit on it is a 80HP and it would be a bit shorter than a 178 but would still have a much wider beam than say Tracker or Ranger. Matter of fact I think...

Hey bud. I created a private Lowe Stinger 8 series owners group on FB. It would probably be good to chime into that. I have some solutions that would work with the Tracloc system. Get into there and...

I have a 2024 178. As you stated, DANCE FLOOR for a front deck. In my opinion I believe the 198 being over 2 feet longer in length is going to need more than a 150 to get respectable speeds out of...

Mine is a legit pad on the bottom.

Thanks for the heads up on the service bulletin Don.

I do all of the work on the motor myself and don't deal with warranties. What does that service bulletin say is the issue? Is there somewhere I...

Has anyone done any testing to determine at what point HP will start to drop off due to lower RPM within the "powerband?"

It would be really nice if Mercury gave us a visual Dyno chart or power...

Wanting to pick one of these up for my rig possibly. I hear they run overpitched for the size they run (ex. A 23 runs with the pitch of what a 25 normally does are far as RPMs are concerned). I also...

The cleaner water thing makes sense as to why it would raise RPM all other things being equal before any sort of adjustment. My stinger seems to love the jackplate and performs like a champ in every...

Yeah overall top speed capability has gone up in both instances but I've usually had to raise up height in order to find the right top speed. I don't know, it's just weird how I've always heard...

This can't just be at random, but on both boats I've owned (both tin) I've noticed that the moment I install a jackplate, even before I started raising height I gained top end RPM at full wide open...

I think what I have will raise it 1/2" above what it's supposed to be. I considered it but then decided against it because that ball is torqued to 250 ft lbs and on top of that it may just be more...

Nah I use a standard 2" hitch. I have checked Walmart before and I think all I ever saw was a 2.5" drop receiver/ ball assembly. I've been looking online and can't seem to find a standard style,...

Moving the jack to the center beam is not possible as there is not enough space on it.

Perhaps a zero drop would be more than plenty then. I'll have to look and see if I can find a receiver like that.

No penalty to trailer dynamics while towing? I don't want to cause instability, odd handling, or a potentially dangerous situation all because I raised the hitch a few inches and the trailer is no...

I may have to start considering the same with mine. The trailer DOES sit level, however, with the 2" drop as my trailer hitch height is 19" and the trailer/ boat is 19" as well level, so maybe a 1"...

I'm not sure they sell a smaller wheel for them than what they have.

I got a stupid issue I'm dealing with here. I park my rig in the garage and recently replaced the jack with a Fulton F2 for better jack handle to boat clearance. The jack is fully height adjustable...

Maybe it just wasn't enough perhaps? Sort of weird.

If you are using something like silicone or definitely 4300/5200/ Loctite PL in conjunction with nylock nuts those nuts should never come loose.

There's a lot of Lund 1875's. You must be referring to the Renegade 1875.

Undo rear straps to make the rear of the boat loose. Loosen the front winch to make the strap loose, loosen the bow roller post, move it as forward as you need it to, and move the boat forward on the...
