I just took the Yamaha off my 08 201XL and re powered to a G2 250 HO....I love this motor. What I am curious of is what Prop and Pitch you are running and if you have a hydrulic jack plate where it likes it.
Thanks in advance....

G2 150 HO on a 2004 285 ProXL. 6” manual jackplate at 3 3/8“ prop to pad. Running a 25 Tempest+. It is a beast of a motor. Thinking maybe a 4 blade would be a good option, still tinkering with adjustments.
I’m running a 250 HO G2 on my Falcon 205 with an atlas hydro plate. I’ve run a 25 & 26 raker ho and the 26 seems to perform and handle better. I’d try a 26 on your boat as I think it would be best.
See if you can find someone that has a Turbo TXP in 25 or 26 pitch and run it. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Fast prop you can run high on the plate with tons of lift.
What gear ratio is on the G2? I have the M2 (1.85:1?) case on my 250 e-tec HO and I run 27-28p props. I am running a Razor3 28p at 2.5" under the pad and a Bravo1 28p worked by Mark. The Bravo1 I use in rough water and vary the height for the conditions. It will run from 2" - 4.5" under the pad.
The g2’s seem to run a smaller pitch than the gen1 etecs
On the 250 and 250 HO the gear ratio is 1.85:1. On the 150HO it is 2.17:1.
Buccaneer, What speed difference did you achieve with the new motor?
Aussie Joe - The answer is none. I went from a 2004 Johnson 150 to the G2 HO. I am still playing with props and setup. The torque and power difference however is noticeable.
Yeah right so same top end? But acceleration, fuel efficiency etc are way better?Quote:
