The other thing you might want to look at is the how many blades you run. If you do a lot of tubing and skiing, usually four or five is better than three in terms of hole shot. Three will usually give you better top end speed though. :) -Chris

You're welcome. Hopefully you'll get some good weather, it's been pretty lousy lately. Take some pics if you go and let us know how your trip went. :) -Chris

Welcome aboard! Nice to have you with us. :thumb: Do you keep your boat out on the ocean? :) -Chris

Here's page 6 & 7. :devil:

I did some surfing and found this page that lists a bunch of ramps. Maybe it will help. :) http://www.muskokawaterweb.ca/7/7.1/Public%20Boat%20Launches.pdf -Chris

Hi boatnuts - nice to have you with us. I was down at Gravenhurst last year and people were using the ramp. I haven't been there this year though. I know Pride of Muskoka in the Bracebridge area has a decent set up. Not sure what they charge though. I know Chris E one of our members...

Hi tweeter - welcome aboard. :) Basically, what you'll want to do, is find the max RPM range for your motor. You'll then want to prop your boat so that it runs in the max rpm range, when you're at wide open throttle (WOT). Putting on a prop with a higher pitch, will lower your RPM's at WOT...

Well, up here in Ontario, what we used to have was laws and regulations. I don't completely remember what they were, but it went from pretty much nothing in the way of horsepower/age restrictions to something along the lines of ..... less than 12 years old - 10 HP or less 12-16 years old -...

Here's page 4 & 5. :thumb:

Almost all the articles in favour of boat licensing, always seem to bring up some example of someone driving a personal watercraft like an idiot. Or, they mention some high-powered boat being driven wrecklessly. So, I gather these licenses are going to train someone to not be an idiot ? I...

Next brochure up is the 2002 Evinrude Brochure. This one is actually on the flip side of the 2002 Johnson brochure. Look for a few scans to go up every few days or so. :thumb: Enjoy! :)

Hi Doovy, For the shaft, what you need might vary and depend on where you decide to mount the bracket. And if you want to use the bar for steering, then you might want to figure out where you need to mount the motor and then obviously the bracket so that the steering bar will work. And that's...

Here's the last page, which is actually a foldout of the various model specs etc. :)

These days, a lot of people are now going with power steering, or zero feedback steering setups, which basically eliminates the need for a trim tab type anode. :) -Chris

You're welcome. :) Good luck - let us know how you ultimately make out. :thumb: -Chris

Here's another... http://www.propmd.com/pc-2795-924-trim-tab-anode-high-clearance.aspx -Chris

Would this one sit back further then yours? http://www.boatzincs.com/MER46399.html -Chris
