Yes, shifts completely normal into forward and reverse. The outdrive was just serviced last month, new Amsoil Marine outdrive oil put in. The vibration begins as soon as you shift into forward. Its not a "Oh dear God...what the h*ll" vibration but certainly noticeable. Even my wife noticed it...

I don't believe that the prop is bent, I'll look even closer but I'm about 95% sure I don't. Like I said, very minor knick in one, maybe 1/8 of an inch and not deep. Most likely I churned a rock up in the shallows and caught it. I could certainly see a worn coupler. The boat is 20 years old. I...

Hi Everyone, We own a 2004 Sundeck 220 with the 5.0mpi / Bravo III combo. On our last outing of the season in '22, I was towing a 2-up tube pushing the boat hard. As I was nearing the end the run the boat made a jolt/bump (hard to explain). After slowing down I thought I felt a slight...

Only having one battery makes me nervous. I already have a dual 29 tray mounted in the stock location. I...

Thank you MonacoMike All's Well - thanks so much for looking it to that. I've always wanted to boat on Travis, just never had the chance. We'll definitely make it up there this summer!

Thanks everybody for the welcome! All's Well - we're really interested in coming to Travis but I wasn't sure what ramps were still open or where it was safe to boat due to the water levels. Any suggestions on good marina's to put in at? Thanks!
