Thanks for the reply Sublimetime. I guess I should have updated the thread....... I found that the boat WAS loaded too far back on the trailer and the ride in the truck was awful as well. I moved the boat forward on the trailer about a foot and it seemed to do the trick. The tires are not...

THANK YOU to all for your insightful input. . . . . . I'll move her forward this weekend and report back on how we do. This is my first boat and were 1 year old together next month. I am thoroughly enjoying her - from learning how to take care of her, operate more efficiently and just the...

Well, just checked the TW. As suspected I'm a$$ heavy. (the boat too) When I checked the scale rig against my weight and my son's , I was only off by less than .5%. The TW came in at 360 lbs, by my calculations it should be around 560 lbs. Boat Dry wt ~ 4200 lbs 50 gal fuel ~ 300 lbs 10 gal...

Should be able to get the TW tomorrow . . . . .Found the attached (should help)

I will check the TW. I do feel that it is too light, doesn't squat the truck and sometimes hopps the truck. I can move the winch stand forward about a foot with he ladder in place, as much as 2' with the latter removed. Ill check the TW first.

Thanks LD - I have contacted the dealer, waiting on a call back. The new tires are from a local tire store - too far to go to the dealer (175 mi). Had to change them, didn't feel safe to pull with the old ones

Oh yes - brakes on all 4, does handle nicely in the hills

I'm pulling with a 2014 1500 Silverado LTZ - (good thing there are not many hills here in Fla, I'm at about my limit) But the two go together nicely.

The admiral is a Big Snoopy fan . . . . . (Happy wife, happy captain. . . . more time on the water)

Just got back from the tire store. We checked the level of the trailer - thought the ball might be too high - nope, nice and level. I pull with a 1500 Chevy, and the trailer only "squats" the truck about 1.2 to 2 inches. My tire guy (and fellow boater) took another look and thought that the...

I have a 1 year old Magic Tilt tandem that I pull my 225 WE on. I am having both rear tires replaced as I type. The fronts are in good shape. I understand that the rears are the tires that "scrub" during a turn, but both sides are worn down completely from about 2 inches in from the outboard...

Mark - I came up with the same interchange. Its a 90" (2285mm) belt with 6 ribs. Dayco is a 5060900 Napa is a 25-060900 Gates is a K060900 Goodyear is a 4060900 I would verify the part at the store - they have a gauge to measure. If not run a string along the belt route and measure. There...

So it looks like I have the Send and the Ign reversed? Will I damage the tach by switching them around? I believe I shorted out the first one when I removed the panel to service the other gauges. Funny - the tach functions with them reversed. Thanks Doc! MTork

I just replaced the tach/hr meter in my 225 WE 5.0L Merc, with the OE replacement from Flounders. http://www.searay-parts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Gauge+Tach+69832 The tach works fine, but the LED hour meter just displays 0.0 hours. I sea tested the boat last weekend and put...
