I recently fished the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and found that when I started the engine (in the water) no water was coming out of the pee hole (Yamaha 200 4 stroke). So I shut her down, checked the pee hole and found nothing. I tried it again and still no water. Another guy close by...

Does anyone know where I can find a decal for my truck (6-10" or so)? Called the factory, but they don't have any. Can't find them anywhere. Thanks for the help.

FishFactory: the issue is with a 2007 F150 that has a factory hitch, I haven't found any hitches that can be installed on the truck. After searching F150 forum sites, it looks like a common problem. The bumper actually is bolted to the hitch. But, if anyone has (or knows someone) that has...

I think I could get the weight pretty close to the Class III (5K) limit, but not sure. Weights fully loaded (no T-top or rails) Boat = 2850 110 Gal of Fuel = 770 Engine = 583 Trailer = 1000 Gear = 500 Total = 5703 If I only had 20 gallons of fuel (save 630 lbs) in the boat and nothing other...

Thanks. I read on THT that some people are using the Equalizer WD hitch and seem to really like them. That would solve my problem, but they are expensive and do seem to work with surge breaks.

I just picked up a '07 F150 that comes with a stock Class III hitch (5000 lbs) and there is an issue of replacing the Class III hitch with a Class III/IV or IV (6000 lbs+) hitch because on a '07 F150 the bumper is bolted to the bumper? I calculated my 23SE (with 110 gallons of fuel, 500 lbs of...

Thanks for the input. So, everything I read says a F150 with a 5.4L engine will be a solid truck to pull my 23SE/no T-top (with a full tank on gas, a single 200 4 stroke Yam engine, 500+lbs of gear and the trailer (plus extra weight thrown in to be safe) comes in at 6000 lbs (tops).

I have dual disk brakes on the trainer (Loadmaster) and will only be towing it long distances (over 5 hour drive) maybe 3-5 times a year. Other than that it will be local driving, but only another 5-6 times a year. I keep it in a slip for most of the time. Thanks.

I've also read that I should look for the beefed up towing package (springs, transmission, receiver, etc) and the 3.73 gear ratio. Not sure if I'll find an exact match since I'm looking at used trucks, but if it's that important I'll keep looking. Any comments regarding the beefier tow...

I'm looking at a new (used) tow vehicle for my Parker 23SE and was wondering if a Ford F150 with a 5.4 Liter Triton engine (a 4 X 4) would be enough to tow my boat? Everything I read would suggest, the answer is Yes, but I thought I would ask the experts for your advice. I also am looking at...

Thanks guys. DaleH - I can't visualize your explanation. Are you suggesting to use a bottle jack to lift one side of the boat? I have a 3/4 ton floor jack, but I'm not sure what to put between the top of the jack and the hull so it won't put a hole in the boat (maybe that's were your 2 X 12...

Last year I bought a new Parker 23SE from my local dealer (TriState) which was bottom painted. They told me they used an ablative paint that was not a multi-season paint. The paint looks great, but they recommend I re-paint it again. It's on a trailer (bunk) and I don't have blocks, so what...

I have the same Grouper Zinc with steel cable, but my cable is also rusting. I talked directly to Yamaha today and they suggested to connect the clip to the bolt just above the lower unit on the Starboard side of the engine (the one several wires are connected to). Connecting the clip to the...

Buddah, You attach the clip directly to the engine via your "fin"? Are there any signs of rusting were you attach the clip? Do you think I'm OK attaching it to the engine bolts?
