Have same problem on steep ramps, gradual ramps not a problem. My strap is new it just stretches a little, I just hit the brakes after boat is out of water.
Sorry about your troubles Russ, it will get better the more you use the boat by fixing things as they come up.
Replaced almost everything on my boat, now haven’t had time to use it.
Good luck.
Hello Hunter,
Sounds good, haven’t been on site or the water yet. Been super busy with work , been missing the fishing and the fish.Hope to get out before is over.
Thanks Mr.crab
My boat has livewell in stern, hookup to the 1/2” overflow hose that drain in motor well. Also make anchor
locker, where it drains overboard. I also hate water in the bilge.
If your boat is rated for 450 HP max you stay there for insurance reasons, Yamaha 4.2L offshore has 300 HP
power head, rated at 225 HP means same low end less top end. Have the 225 HP 4.2L on my Marlin no problems.
