Have the same problem with my flats boat. Runs very flat with very little bow lift until it hits 55mph, then it will begin lifting. Faster you go the more trim and lift you can get out of it.

Had 2 LG's that the LED's burned out only a couple years old, switched to Samsung and the board blew less than 2 years in. Replaced the board and now it's getting slow and clunky at age 3.

When they start going bad, run a piece of 220 sandpaper up and down the length of the blade edge several times. This has extended the life of many of my blades.
Picked up and Bonifide SS127 Stand Sit for $700 on Facebook Marketplace.
Travels fine in truck bed with tailgate down. If no trailer, would recommend a set of wheels.
The SS127 has mounting...
Update: Not Resolved
Ran the boat this past weekend. Water temp was 57 degrees, air temp was low 70's.
Temp creep is still a problem. At WOT made it 5-6 minutes and hit 169 degrees. On a longer...
Oil Cooler is not hard to access. I'd put this at 2hrs to access and reinstall. Having an owners manual makes it much easier with torque specs, pictures, and procedures.
It's all reusable with...
Currently have a Lincoln 1134 with Yamalube Marine and a Lubrimatic 30-800 Mini with 2-4-C.
In my experience Lucac Marine will bleed blue fluid (oil) all over. It's a mess to deal with. Recommend...
I replaced my broken Garmin knobs with BFE aluminum ones. Originals lasted about a year before cracks appeared. Chose to buy aftermarket than fight manufacturer for annual replacement knobs. Just not...
Have a 2015 Husqvarna 46" rider with 23hp Kohler. Motor has run as expected with only simple maintenance over the last 9 years / 147.8hrs.
Update: The 2 flushes I did last spring helped but temp creep was back by November.
Pulled the oil cooler and it was pretty scaled up. I also pulled a waterjacket cover near the rectifier with...
I just went through this myself. It takes time and lots of "rework" to move wires around and make them look good.
No affiliation with any of these recommendations, just happy customer:

I've DIY encapsulated my last 2 houses and will do it again at our next move. I've also helped 2 neighbors encapsulate their crawlspaces.
Every installation is different, and you should go by...
I've made that trip solo many times (a little lower in WI but further in VA), but only twice with 2 kids. It's not a bad drive there, the drive back can be a challenge, but the kids mostly slept or...
Try anchoring in swells. Force with turn port and crank to 100%, then stbd and right back to 100%. It's dangerous trying to fish offshore.
Thats on top of the whole "it must back up no matter what...
If the hole isn't stripped out, 3m 4200 fast cure, cut the tip small and force it into the hole before screwing it all back together. This can also help seal hole from water intrusion.

lithiums because they are light weight. Bluetooth app to monitor charge state.
quick disconnects like Anderson Plugs for easy removal
Adjust mounting location if needed so they are easy to...
Couldn't agree more, Great customer service. Even on smaller orders like battery trays, picked up the phone when I called, answered my questions and shipped quick.
My Tundra does the same. Only when cold. Just enough to be annoying. I blamed it on me pulling the dash and not putting it back perfectly, but maybe it's just another one of those undocumented...
Something sounds wrong. Mine is pretty difficult to move. Flip it over and remove the 6 T25 screws for the back panel. The friction plate is visible. Make sure nothing is stuck in there.
Starts walking at 70
Unicorns and rainbows, stars aligned, wind to back, going down hill, rolling with current, Best speed has been 74.9 mph
My tires do not appear to push in enough to necessitate lowering them. This also allows me to swing the bow out of the way when needed without having to squeeze between the wall and boat to jack them...
Bow Garmin for Livescope and transducer (Down SI/DI) because the transducers are/can be integrated into the Kraken trolling motor. On a bay boat you will most likely need a longer shaft TM than the...

Solution 1 is to install quick disconnects to the charger cables and disconnect the battery you dont want to charge. Anderson makes a reliable quick disconnect like the SB50 that can be installed...
