:cool: Corrected!

Oh man, that is so sweet! :p:p:p:p:p how far will you be towing it? See post # 1,054 of this thread reference outboard motor supports for when towing see also...

Well, you’re on the right tack as it wasn’t that long ago we saw the wind get up under the big hinged sun deck on a 19’ to 21’ boat being towed on an interstate (75 mph), with no cover … the driver had no idea until it was too late … alls I kept thinking was: a) “how hard would it have been to...

Looking that up, NOW!!!!!

That’s interesting (and welcome news) we were told (can’t remember who) that pole was the light … When I think of the torque generated when we pull 3 people on our “Big Mable” towable I’m inclined to keep using the tie down loops on each rear corner of the boat … I’m also going to have to take...

Elections have consequences. Even clean ones (cough, cough!)

Okay, my error okubricko - I think you may be able to simply use a tow rope with a loop on the end. Here you go; most of these ropes only have loops on the ends: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=boat+tow+rope+for+tubing&crid=1GOL0MGJ24YPB&sprefix=Boat+tow+%2Caps%2C196&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_3_9...

In concurrence with Keg17, I’ll add you don’t want to simply “use any rope.” You want to obtain a rope specifically designed for pulling a skier or tube and they aren’t always the same rope as you want to get a tow rope with the right weight capacity of the individuals you will be pulling...

Thank You, Brother! You have saved me from scratching a lot of what little hair I have left on my head, yet again!!!!! I’m going to include that sleeve next time I order parts, so it can join all the other parts I like to keep on the shelf in case we need them, to reduce any down time (I.e...

Okay, now I am confused. The bore sleeve or white polymer ring just ahead of the prop on our SPX 190 is simply a perfect circle or ring of plastic; whereas; when I look up the two different parts numbers posted upthread ***AND*** when I reference the parts diagram by our engines serial number...

I’m way late to this conversation but, that little white plastic ring just ahead of the prop had me puzzled until I happened to see the 4:30 - 5:00 minute mark of this video (which I found after I watched his incredibly helpful video on 100-hour service of the Mercury 150 hp 4-stroke!)...

Dannnnnnng! LOL, I opened the photo and started going “Mm!” , “MMMM!” and the wife grabbed my phone thinking someone had sent me a pinup or centerfold shot! :p:p:p:D

And post up a pic of that new beauty!!!!

Dang, I am turning up empty but, I am not the most knowledgeable to even be searching - if you don’t get an answer from one of the truly knowledgable here, you may want to contact Mercury directly and see if they can give you some guidance … no doubt the prop(s) you have to choose from already...
