Hello, I’m super excited to have just purchased this boat and took it out today and had some issues that someone may know the answer to. First, the speedometer wasn’t working. Second, the gas gage went up/down and all around really. I filled it up after I left so not sure if that’ll solve it, only put 13 gallons in. Third, the little Sony radio controls weren’t lit up. Not sure if there’s an issue there or not. Fourth, the original owner stated that the rear seat can be turned to be an observer to watch riders, how do I do that. Also, if you have a video that breaks down the inside of the boat, that would also be cool. I can’t find anything on YouTube. Any info would be appreciated!

I ended up buying a spare Acme 1589 (only fitting prop they had) which is less than desirable, but the top end I gained from the 2419 it had installed was impressive. While at the shop (Liberty in Lake Havasu) they mentioned they started carrying Powertech props because they are just as good as Acme but a fair bit cheaper. I’m writing this post asking if anyone has tried a Powertech and if so, would you buy one as a replacement. I wanted to try a 1235 but am also looking for other recommendations. I stay at low altitudes normally, under 2000’ and am upgrading to have about 2,000+ lbs ballast. Any input would be appreciated.

Yesterday out of nowhere in 30ft of water hit an underwater tree. If you’re in Texas and know Lake Granbury you know what I’m talking about.

After surveying the damage it looks like I’m going to need a new shaft strut, propeller, possibly rudder, likely bent the prop shaft also. Already texted a local mechanic and looks like labor alone is $1500 plus probably easily $1500 in parts.

I normally do all our vehicle and boat maintenance and repairs on my own and am seriously considering tackling this. I’m looking for advice on where to get parts and what parts I’ll likely need that I haven’t thought of. Also any good videos with tips on how to perform the repairs?

I’ll add some pictures of the damage. ]]> Tigé V Drives Mctylermore https://www.tigeowners.com/forum/general-tigé-topics/tigé-v-drives/1278973-it-finally-happened-shaft-strut-prop-shaft-bent
