I have a Pro Team 175 with a 75hp Optimax motor. What bolt hole should the top bolt on the motor mounting bracket be in. It is in the second from the top but the cavitation plate on the motor seems a little low to me. Would the motor perform better if the top bolt was in the middle hole. I have...

Thanks guys for the replys. I run two Humminbird units on my boat like a lot of you do and the older model mounting bracket was different from the current model I am now running. I had read a lot of reviews on the JB Weld products but I had never used them myself. I bought my boat new in January...

Bob, I have been disappointed with my top speed. I have read where I should get 40 mph, maybe even 41 mph. I am currently getting 36 mph at 5600 rpms with a 13 x 18 stainless 3 blade Quicksilver. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I bought a brand new 75 hp Optimax in December 2010. When the motor came in it had a 90 hp sticker on the cowl. The serial number confirmed it was a 75 hp motor. The dealer had to order the correct decal and replace the original. Gopreach

My son was pinned on 9/11/2003. He pulled two tours in Iraq. He is a double Purple Heart recipient. Other than Jesus Christ he is my greatest hero. You have every right to be proud!!!! Upon his discharge in June 2007 he enrolled in college and took advantage of his GI Bill. He graduated this...

I am with you Rob. Our church is in the process of building a new worship facility. We asked the Army Corps of Engineers for permission to put some culvert in a stream that is really nothing more than a ditch which is completely dry in the summer. The Corps told us we first had to get permission...

I am not familiar with your model boat but the aerator pump went out on my 2002 PT175 some years ago, or so I thought, until the mechanic took the pump apart and discovered it was fouled by a piece of tree bark. I know you still need to remove your pump but you may not need a new pump if this...

Go online and check prices at J and H Products before you buy anything in the marine electronic field. They have very competitive prices and I and a friend of mine have gotten great service from them. They will often beat Cabelas and Bass Pro by 10% - 15% which in a unit like this might mean a...

You are correct Tee about the seal sealing on the tapered spindle. It appears to me the O rings are designed to act as a dust shield to protect the rear seal. On my trailer the O ring that sat against the rear seal was in a notch cut into the spindle. The O ring that was behind that just...

Reno, I just pulled this service on my 2002 Proteam 175. This was the first time I had redone my bearings and seals. I grease my hubs frequently but last year I started to see some grease seeping around my rear seals so I knew it was time to take care of this matter. I had never repacked trailer...

I installed a Pro Control recessed foot pedal tray in my 2002 Pro Team 175. I would discourage anyone from cutting through any structural support. I was able to squeeze mine in. You can remove the small panel at the front of your deck where your trim switch is located to gain access to the under...

Bob, I take it both are within my warranty specifications. Our local Walmart carries the Quicksilver High Performance. Is this okay? I live nearly 40 miles from my local Mercury dealer and with my schedule and the price of gas it is hard for me to get over that way very often. I bought enough...

Kenny, I had the exact same problem with my boat. My tach was bad. When my old tach began to go bad it would happen just every once and awhile. It only got worse as time passed. Hope this helps. ROB

Joe, I do not plan to change props. I can not justify the expense for the very reasons you mentioned. I just wanted to give someone else, who may need the information I lacked going into this, all the info I had so they could make the best decision possible. I really want to thank you for your...

The top mounting bolts are in the next to the top holes on the motor mounting bracket.

Hey Rob, another Rob here. I have all my original valves but I had a mild heart attack while on Kentucky Lake on April 10, 2007. I ended up in the back of an ambulance headed for Lordes Hospital in Paducah. After a stress test that cofirmed I had a definite problem I checked myself out of the...

Cubby, I tried to email you several pictures of my finished job but the email address you have on file kicked back. I have placed two of the photos in my library if you care to take a look. Pastor Rob

I put one in my 2002 PT 175 and then helped a friend put one in his 2004 PT 175. We both love ours. We purchased ours from Pro Control. It is made of real heavy plastic. I weigh 265 and never had a problem. If you fish long days it is a back saver!!!! It will need to slip just up under the metal...

Thanks Toxic!

Thanks Bruce. I just tried to trim it for about 10 seconds. Trimmed all the way down it runs great and jumps up on plane. This weather is hindering everybody in the eastern half of the country. I want to go fishing so bad I can hardly stand myself!!!!!!! I am very happy with my new motor and I...
