You are going to lose about 150-250 rpms for the change in pitch. 4 blade should be beneficial to getting on plane vs. a 3 blade. Generally only a 1-2 MPH difference between two of the same pitch (4...

Exactly. Buy a piece of Starboard, Pre drill a couple holes in it where you want the mount to sit. Put a bead of 5200 a inch inside the edge and in the holes in the hull along with on the back side...
You've missed some screws. Once they're all out, it comes right off easily. Check the top 2" and the bottom 2" all the way across. Some use a screwdriver, some say a strong magnet helps them find...
Don't we all, lol. I usually reward myself for realizing that it was a bad idea by buying a new rod or reel. Need to incentivize that self-examination behavior!!!
Consider a woven vinyl flooring. Easy to clean like new with water or some simple green if you get a stain. No hooks getting caught in the carpet to fight with. Love it on my tracker. Only negative...
This is what I have used in the past....
Make sure you are waterproofing the cover yearly. Install the cover. Wait until it's had a good run of hot, dry days. Spray it well with a silicone based waterproofing treatment. Make sure to spray...
Check into a Battery Watering System. They're popular on RV's but have not seen any posts in boating forums on them being used. ...
I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Ionics either. Great batteries and Cust Svc from my research and personal experience.
I have a V-19 which is significantly heavier and I can take it about 18" of water before it touches bottom. And that's loaded pretty heavy. y guess is a v17 is somewhere between 12" and that.
Some folks don't put it on until after the bolts are in the holes, sealing only the outside. Ignorance I guess, DIYer's not knowing any better. Ideally the hole is semi full of sealant/silicone prior...
There is a Minn Kota quick release slider plate that works with the Garmin. I've seen a couple people utilize it to slide their TM rearward for travel, boat loading and unloading to prevent it...
I put a force on my Targa V19 and it fits. It does require the cover is shifted forward slightly on my boat which reduces how much it covers over the sides in the area the gunnel straightens out,...
A lot depends on what you're looking for, budget, how it's going to be used. Gonna get fanboy responses without details of what you actually need.
They usually come with an inline fuse for people that are not tying into the fuse box when installing. If I'm installing one, I cut the power wire above the inline fuse, and wire through the fuse...
Sometimes there is an inline fuse as well as there should be one in the fuse block under your dash. I'll look for and check both.
I would get the RPM's figured out. Maybe invest in vessel view so you can monitor on your phone with a digital reading vs. the analog, bouncing needle that are rarely accurate. Making sure you are...
People want to run their boats with the motor mounted high for top speed, on the last 2 feet of pad so they can run at Tourney launch speeds and then complain the boat slides or won't turn when they...
Good Year Endurance are solid trailer tires. Most people need to change tires because of age, not wear. Make sure you are checking for cracking and dry rot, that's usually what causes failures, not...
Drop a 4 blade prop on it and trim down a second when you're getting ready to ready crank the wheel.
32-35mph is what I see reported most of the time.
I have a 125ah house battery, a 60ah AGM for the engine that came with the boat and 3-50ah for my trolling motor. Mine are Ionic brand and I love them. Being able to monitor power left with blue...
Just make sure you get something that has good reports of customer service. The thing I see most going bad with these lithium needing a CS call is either the blue tooth stops working or the BMS has...
I bought some 4" stainless steel louvered vents I'm going to cut holes for in the end of a couple of my boxes and see if that helps. I think the water come more from condensation during temp swings...
I have a Tracker Targa V-19 with a Garmin Force 24v/36v TM and three graphs (1-106sv and 2 93sv Garmin's). I went with 3 50ah Ionics for the TM and a 125AH house battery for the graphs and all other...
