    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...

    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!)...

    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...

    Oh, I see that “Prop Selector” only runs up to 2021 and indeed it looks like your engine is new - very impressive and if it even approaches the home run Merc hit with their other recent innovations (i.e., their 4-stroke 150) then, “Congratulations!” are in order again...

    You’re a good buddy and I had to chuckle and will relay these most recent discussions TO the two teen males joining us today - with their mom and 5yoa little sister - for their second ever boating experience - and first time ever tubing on a Big Mable pulled behind my wife’s 190 … On their...
