I bought a quick Silver prop with flo-torque hub. Same size same pitch same everything... boated from sandy pond to sackets harbor and back... about 2 hours of driving. Everything seemed ok. Still hearing a whistling at low speed, about 1000 rpm. As far a the skeg, I will post a pic tomorrow...

Changed the prop... super easy. Also noticed a chip in the skeg. The boat seems to ride great and got on plane real fast. Topped out around 48 but my rpms Seemed high although I never paid attention in the past. I was around 5000 or slightly over. Also at first at low speeds I felt like I heard...

So I found the prop and hub kit for about $150 online but couldn't get them to ship to me by Thursday so I found a local marina and picked up the new prop, hub kit, and grease for about $200. Didn't want to risk not having my boat for the 4 day weekend I have coming up! I'm throwing the prop on...

Thank you for the quick responses! My boat is 2 hours away so I did some research and it seems like I should go with a 21 pitch? Think I'm just going to pull the trigger on a black max. Any thoughts? Also is it easy to replace? Never have done this before...

So today I hit some rocks and chipped up my prop with a couple big nickel size chucks and a few chewed up marks... everything seemed to drive ok with little vibration but who knows. My question is how much is this going to cost me and more importantly what type of oem prop do I need to buy? I...

If you want to see a pic let me know!

I use the Sea Ray mooring cover with cleat access and the ratchet system at my dock. It really isn't that hard as long as you can access the ratchet. It takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it you can get it on in under 10 minutes. Taking it off takes me less than 2 minutes. I...

Glad I could help!

I went with the teak material in titanium with black. The teak style material is much nicer than the basic stuff. I order samples of both. Also I added the sea ray logo. The color isn't a exact match but it really doesn't have to be... it still looks fantastic. I just put up another pic I just...

I am at my lake house and can't figure out how to get the pics posted from my cell... send me a private message with your email and I can email them you can post them up! Its driving me nuts! Update... try the link above. If that doesn't work then someone send me your email!

Yes I took a few. I will post tomorrow. It came out great! Was it worth $400? Not sure but it does look and feel real nice!

The pad will be here by the end of the week! Pics to follow!

Yes I used what they have and it measures out good. I wouldn't worry about drawing your own they can send you the drifit material in the exact same dimensions they are going to create for you so you can make sure its perfect before your order is finalized... The 190 has the same bottom portion...

So I just received a email with the proposed pad and I have to say it looks awesome! There is a option to have a piece of material sent out to me with the exact dimentions so I can dry fit the pad before they make the real one. This is a extra $10 plus shipping and would delay my pad about 2...
