Turn the gain to 10 and move it closer to the mic stand.

Hey mate. These are good boats. I had the 1750 and I now have the 2100WA. The 1900 is a good size for the bay and offshore work and they are well priced for what you get and they are made here in OZ in the Whittley Factory.

Good stuff mate I have had no regrets with the 2 I have bought. The only reason I sold the 1750 is I wanted something a bit bigger to go outside with.

This one looks to be a good enough buy for what it has it would get along good with the 135 opti.:)

That one has been for sale for a while as well so you may be able to bargain it down.

mmm well just make sure you have a good look at the service history and if it is up to date you get a 3+2 warrenty on those engines but if they are out of the 3 years the service history need to be spot on before Merc will warrent any repairs. Merc however are pretty good though and the opti's are good on fuel I run 175opti on my Walkaround and get good fuel economy. Put it this way at least the guy who owns it has been honest enough to let you know and not let you find out after the fact.

I have a second thread running at the moment re- overheating merc. Getting very good advice on these motors (thats the beauty of this site). KP

Thanks ozy. The 115hp is a bit small for what I want to do. KP
