So, learn to live with it. In five years, when someone like Don says you don't know that outboards

don't have bellows, we'll all know from where he's coming.

Still smarting from that correction, Johnny??
It was for your own good.

Still making up lies, Donnie? I'm sure Harry approves.

But then, perhaps you just had a difficult time with reading comprehension. We've noted that before,
haven't we?

By the way there is a trim limit switch on your setup. You can use that
switch to trim to the *safe* upper limit and any position between that
and full down trim.y it Be aware that the gauge is less than accurate
and you risk tearing your bellow if you rely on it.

Trim limit sw?
On a Merc 60? I don't think so

It is an outboard, there are no bellows either.

I can set the trim limits on my new Yamaha but you need to do it with
the laptop

Thanks Greg. I think I got the message from the 16 posters who responded
about this before you.

Maybe we should be like that old test that started "read everything
before you do anything".



A few minutes ago I used the phrase 'ad nauseam' in a sentence. I then read the next post in the
thread. Yup, the same phrase was used in almost the same context.

GMTA, I guess.

Took the Legend Xcalibur out to Grand lake today for some late summer boating.
Finally got on the water at noon and it was as smooth as silk. Easily the calmest water we've seen on this lake since I started talking the Princecraft Yukon out there years ago.
Was such a pleasure zooming along that I had to be careful to keep the revs down. I don't think they advise zipping along at 5000 RPM for too long.

Stopped just off shore from what we think is hockey player Sydney Crosby's house and had a light lunch of a banana and cool clear water.
Forgot the dogs 'GatorAid' water bottle so the wife had to let him drink from her cup after she was through.

This is the third trip out since I had the trim gauge installed and must admit that it was money well spent. The upper end of the lake can get shallow so I trim the motor up a bit to save bashing the prop on rocks and it's nice to know where it stands.
A couple of times I strayed into 4 foot water depth and trimmed up, only to trim down again to speed up in deeper water.
No such problem in the larger lower portion which has 150+ depths.
Saw a few fishermen out there but only talked to one old guy at the ramp who hadn't caught anything.
The HummingBird 170 indicated lots of fish in certain areas. Might have to get a license, file down the barb and try some catch & release next year.

Beautiful day, and tomorrow and Saturday should be the same but a bit cooler than todays 25C.

A very nice post. Thank you!

Isn't that a 6000 RPM motor? Trim gauges are a crutch. Learn to ignore
it so you can operate the boat when it dies.

Very refreshing and nice post, Don. I'm glad you're having fun with the boat. Enjoy it while you can!

You'd care jackass, if I tied a line to you, tossed you off the bow and dragged your skanky ass along the keel to the back to the transom.
There I'd use the Big Foot's large propeller to cut that brillo hair for you.

That'd be risky for Donnie. Who knows what might happen if Donnie
dangled a stud like Slammer in front of his Missus. Might be
D_I_V_O_R_C_E time for the bowlegged one.
