Yep, That is how you set up the ride height. I use my mountain bike shock pump to adjust it (has a built-in gauge). It is about 8" long and keep it in my console. This is absolutely the best towing enhancement that can be done, IMO.

My 36 Skater Outboard has easily outlasted 4 tow vehicles and counting

That 36 is every bit as unique and eye catching as Bill P's Pure Platinum's... always good to see updates that she is still loved and running strong

Great looking Chevy David. Glad you and the cat are still doing well. Funny how everyone is catching on to what we knew all along. Outboards are the way to go!

Any more thoughts or plans to go 4 stroke or going to just keep enjoying the 280s

davidmercury

thanks Bob! Yeah Mercury finally saw the light!
we've been carrying the torch for a long time. It’s gratifying that they listened even if it was their cash registers that motivated this surge of outboard power!

I decided to stick with the light weight (and paid for) 2.5’s on my 36 skater,
the extra weight and expense just not worth it to me to re-rig to the 450’s
i’ve been enjoying my Skater with the family for many years now and happy with the pretty much trouble free operation of the old school efi 280’s. Also I’d miss the sound and smell of the 2 strokes 😂

Between the smoke, the sound and the date stamp of the Vid - you and the boat deserve your own "Mike Drop"... the 2.5's are like angry bees

A 4 stroke O/B will never bring the smile from the sound of twin 2.5's running hard in harmony (Don't care who you are) but quads are just over the top.......Definitely a special boat!
