    Wake size

    Anyone have any experience with tabs on inboard-outboard ? My Sea Ray 185 Sport is a great riding boat and has a nice wake for boarding and tubing, but I would like less wake for slalom skiing. Do hyro tab or smart tabs lessen wake height? Thanks

    No charge evinrude 1990 150hp

    I have a 1990 Evinrude 150 that I think is not charging. The volt meter reads the same if motor is running or not. Battery was dead and charged enough to start but gauge still reads same if running or not. Tach is working. What and how do I check? What might be the problem?
