Re: Boat tie-downs on Trailer

More photographs of how I use boat tie downs on my trailer.

Fig. 1. On one side of the engine at the transom, two straps are shown. One strap exits the frame vertically and goes somewhere unknown. A second strap has an S-hook and is attached to a towing eye.

Boat Tie-downs on Trailer

Is the arrangement of boat tie-downs see in several photographs below done properly? [A photo showed a strap with an S-hook wrapped around a trailer cross member. The strap goes out of frame horizontally toward the stern of the boat. The ratchet adjustment is under the boat.] [Another photo showed a...

Re: Repower 2001 130 Super Sport

Decided to go with the white Suzuki 40. Excited!

Have an option to upgrade to SMG4 tachometer instead of the 93J11 for extra $250.
Other than being a digital display, SMG4 has the troll mode built in. Not sure if I'll ever use it though, not a fisherman.

Re: Repower 2001 130 Super Sport

Once you DIY-install it, you're still obligated to do any maintenance service at the dealer, correct?
Where can I find more information on the topic?

Re: Repower 2001 130 Super Sport

Inventory on the 50hp seems to be much better, as I was told 50hp is just a beefed up 40hp for not a lot more $

Re: Repower 2001 130 Super Sport

Thanks to everyone for their input. To use a 40-HP engine seems the best choice. Mercury [engines] are on backorder and delivery may be in 26 weeks. The [delay in delivery with a] Suzuki engine is even worse--unless a dealer has the engine in his inventory. When a new engine is NOT installed by the ...

Re: Repower 2001 130 Super Sport

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

From my reading, a lot of people say even the 40-HP four-stroke-power-cycle engines are too heavy for a 2001 130 SUPER SPORT, so I have to say your comment surprises me.

Repower 2001 130 Super Sport

Give me a recommendation for repowering a 2001 Super Sport 130. It has a 40-HP engine now. BACKSTORY: Currently my 2001 130 SUPER SPORT has the original 2000 Mercury 40-HP ELPTO two-stroke-power-cycle engine. A repair shop quoted $3,700 for the new rods, new crankshaft, and a set of bearings to repa...
