Hi, I was wondering if anyone has used trim tabs on there sport boat. My 2001 Utopia bounces really bad in choppy water and there is no trim adjustment to push the nose lower. My other option are the Scott trim nozzles but it is a 2 grand package versus about 500 for the trim tabs.

I finally got hold of a factory Merc. M2 service Manual. If anyone needs anything out of it I will be happy to share.

Does the Cobra Jet steering help in no wake situations? Has anyone used a single engine setup with one installed? Thanks for all input.

I just got thru installing a new gps in our Utopia 185. There was just enough free flat room on the dash to fit and look good. I went with a Hummingbird 581 because it was a combo gps and fish finder. Running the transducer cable was fun but thanks to a trick with a tape measure from a member here it went pretty smooth. I had to remove the speaker under the throttle run the tape to the back around all of the flotation foam and pull the cable to there then run the tape from the front console to the speaker and run it the rest of the way. The hummingbird came with a duel mount transducer that could be epoxied to the bottom of the hull which I did saved having to drill a hole in the rear of the boat which I didn't want to do. It epoxied easily under the rear bench. It had very easy mounts for the dash it preforms very well.

I have the 2001 Utopia with the 210 Merv. Is there a way to test all the engine warning alarms? Everything is running great but I just want the piece of mind knowing they work if needed
