    Correct prop for Checkmate Enforcer / trim info

    I found this one, but it says it's 14#19, I'm guessing that I need to be exact with the 14.5x19 http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/boa/2355192046.html

    Correct prop for Checkmate Enforcer / trim info

    Hey Keith, I might try and just switch the prop to a stainless version of what I have, the prop on the boat is pretty beat up, I'll yet and post a picture. When you say max rpm's is 5000 couldn't I drop to a 17 pitch to make the motor rev higher or would I lose top end speed?

    I haven't played with the trim tabs yet. I was referring to the engine trim. I think I see what your saying, play with the trim button on the throttle by pushing it up in small increments?

    Correct prop for Checkmate Enforcer / trim info

    It has a mercruiser 260, it's been updated to the newer style not the mag though. I've been playing with the engine trim at low speeds And I can get the boat to get up on plain and run well, it's at top speed it hard for me to make adjustments, they don't seam to make a difference

    Correct prop for Checkmate Enforcer / trim info

    Hey guys, I just picked up a 1984 Checkmate Enforcer, I did a bunch of maintenance to the engine, new plugs, adjust the carb, exhaust gaskets. Serviced the drive, new impeller, changed the fluid etc. I took the boat out today, and it ran a best of 47 mph on gps. I feel like it should have more...
