Thanks

Hi, I have a 17M off a 1997 175 Salt Water Series II. I've been told that's a 15 1/2" x 17 but I haven't measured it. Its in the garage, what else would you like to know?

Hi, What glue do you use on a hatch gasket? I have a 2110 with a minor leak from the hatch above the V berth. I know it could be the hatch bedding or the opening gasket and I'm replacing the opening foam gasket first. I've found the gasket material from Taylor, but what glue do you use? I...

HI, I have a 2110 and the two big improvements I made were adding a permatrim and a better prop. When I got it it had a 17M and I changed to a 15x15 Q3. Same top speed of 39 mph with better mid range mpg and planing at a lower speed. It has less slip and is better all around. I think...

Hi johnsw, I searched the site for 2120 prop and found a lot of posts with different engines but most having changed to a 15 pitch prop with varying diameters. A few had 17 pitch props but they had 200 or more hp. I think you have the low end hp for this hull and the rpm you've reached is...

Hi, Similar but not exactly the same, but the lesson learned was the prop that came with the boat had too much pitch and going from 17 to 15 gave better performance numbers. I think our hulls are the same. Ken at Propgods helped me get the right prop. I've posted the following before, hope...

Finished!

Warthog and pelagic2530, Ok got it: Powering MOB+ hub off fuse block, switched by main battery switch. Draw is negligible, did the math for that and my LED anchor light and plenty of capacity for a possible overnight Will be safer for others to use the boat if the MOB+ powers on with the main...

Thanks for all the input. To clarify I have three options for powering the MOB+ A) off the yellow 12+ from the Yamaha key harness via the instruments with an inline fuse - Warthog said not to do this. B) off fuse block, but I have two batteries and a Blue Seas off, 1, 2, 1+2 battery switch and...

Hi, I'm installing a MOB+ and where should I pull the power from? The closest instrument is the fuel gauge. Parker 2110. Yamaha 175 Salt Water Series II carb. There is yellow 12v+ I can get to on the back of the analogue tack or fuel gauge. These are the only two instruments so I'm...

Hi, Thanks for all the advice, finished the upgrades. I added a Garmin NMEA network and GFS 10 fuel sensor both wired to the panel as they needed an on off switch. I moved the GPS, ECHO, and VHF to their own hot with the in line fuses protecting each unit. I freed up panel space, added...

Right after I sent it, I realized I make it wrong. Time to do it over.

Thanks for all the input, I added a Blue Sea terminal strip to feed the three electronics that have inline fuses. So much quicker to make it on a table and then install it in the boat. Now I have some open switches on the panel for the next project.

Thanks for all the input, I'll check the wiring sizes as I dig in.
