Re: Mercury 115 FOURSTROKE Trailer Bracket

Late reply, but I use a M-Y WEDGE to support my 140 HP Johnson 4-stroke in a "partially up" position while trailering. It works excellently, and is extremely easy to install. I like that it is made of some sort of rubber, adding a little cushion on our rough South Carolina roads. I have ha...

Re: 1988 REVENGE 22 Walk-Through; moving batteries out of stern

I'll try to get some pictures this weekend and post them. I do know they upsized the wiring going up the console to the second battery and the Perko switch. Jimh made a good point about the water draining: the list to starboard might be a blessing in disguise. I [want to know] more about hard tops o...

Re: Re: 1988 REVENGE 22 Walk-Through; moving batteries out of stern

Last week I had electrical work done by Tidal Marine in Charleston, South Carolina, on my Boston Whaler 1988 REVENGE 22 Walk-through boat to relocated the batteries. We left the starting battery (designated No. 1 battery) at the stern as it was originally. The deep cycle battery (designated No. 2 ba...

Re: 1988 REVENGE 22 Walk-Through; moving batteries out of stern

I'm planning to have the battery move done by a local marine electrician, and have a few electrical engineer friends who will check the sizing of things for me- but yes I am familiar with the concerns. Part of my motivation for moving the battery forward is I'm planning to install a rear bench seat ...

Why do you say leave the battery at the stern? The one there now is quite in the way and I could use some extra weight forward since I'm only running one motor.

Re: 1988 REVENGE 22 Walk-Through

Yes that's the four I'm counting. One in the cabin, one in the livewell, one on starboard side under battery and one in the transom. Speaking of drains: where do the drains under the helm seat and copilot seat drain? Into the cabin well? One more question: I'm planning to move my battery off the tra...

Re: 1988 REVENGE 22 Walk-Through

I would like to see a photograph of the engine splash well on your 1988 REVENGE 22. Many 22-foot hulls were molded with the rather small "sink" type engine splash well. I don't have a picture of the stern well handy, but it is very small. Large kitchen sink size. The four drain plugs in t...

Re: 1988 REVENGE 22 Walk-Through

The boat runs about 30-nautical-miles-per-hour at maximum throttle with [the 140-HP] engine. Cruise speed is 20 to 25-nautical-miles-per-hour—plenty speed for me. To get the boat on plane even with several passengers and a full tank [is not a concern]. I've previously owned a Johnson-Suzuki engine o...

1988 REVENGE 22 Walk-Through; moving batteries out of stern

Hi All. Let me introduce myself. I have enjoyed reading this forum immensely. Yesterday I purchased a 1988 Revenge 22 Walk-Through. The boat's current name is "Crawdaddy", and it was based at Lake Hartwell in South Carolina. I've brought the boat back to Lake Murray near Columbia, South Ca...
