Thanks for the opinions. I can get a 4 inch spacer from TH for around $400, this will drop me to 10 inch. Just thought its easier to do when the motor is off. I'll give the 12 a go.
I'm getting...
Hi guys. I am repowering my Ranger 522D with a Merc 250 Proxs, Boat goes in next week. I was wondering if there is a general rule of thumb when it comes to the new Merc 4 stroke and Setback.
Right...
I fish the Niagara river and it has more current then the Detroit. obviously it depends on how you fish. I'm not spot locking for 8hrs in that stuff but I don't hold back either. My guess would be if...
I run the 50s on a 522D (Biggest Bass Boat out there) and they have never let me down. Just fished a 9 hour tournament on the weekend in some pretty nasty wind and made it all day no problem. Oh and...
Mine is on a switch too but it takes a solid minute for it to come back on. I stop mine every time it comes out of the water, I'm not waiting that long for it to come back on. It can't be hard for...
Yes the stop Sonar. It is especially annoying when you have a split screen. I run about 90% of the screen on Active Target and the other 10% on 2D. so when I start fishing I close the menu to get the...
Can you put Active Target as an option for the quick keys! I can't imagine this is a hard fix.
Thanks Don I appreciate it
Don one more question if you don't mind? I have decided to pull the trigger on a re-power. I'm not a speed guy so if it does 58 or 62 its all the same to me but I hate not being able to get on plane...
That's interesting I do notice that when I'm slowing down this boat does porpoise a fair bit. Trimming down when it starts usually takes care of it, but if I don't it can really bounce around. The...
Not sure if this is where I should ask this. I'm hoping someone can explain the advantages/disadvantages of engine set back. I currently have an Evinrude etec with 12 inches of setback and I'm...
Old post i know, hopefully Mike is still around.. . Mike you said you were able to install the 1100 GPH Rule in the 800 case... Did this work ok for you? I'm at my wits end with these 800s
From what I am reading it looks like if you have an older Live 12 with AT2 you should do the update? I have 4 Lives but the 1 running AT is not connected to the other 3. Does this sound right?
Don if I went with the 300 which Lower Unit would you recommend for a boat the size of mine? Just to clarify its a 522D which has a hull closer to a Multi Species boat then a bass boat. The fastest I...
Has the update fixed the Stop sonar option? First page or Programmable key ?
88 ? Wow! That might be to much for my little brain. I need a 25". I thought it was an option but if not then I guess that's what I get. I have a 300 etec gen 1 on there right now and fully loaded...
5% better is generous. If they don't come out with a fix soon I'm dumping mine and going to Garmin. I work to hard and spend to much money on my toys to put up with this. Been a Lowrance guy for 20...
I’m kinda in the middle I have a Ranger 522D. So basically a bass boat with a Walleye boat hull.
I'm looking at repowering and it looks like the 250 Pro XS comes with two possible gearcases. TorqueMaster and 5.44" Can anyone explain the difference?
I assume he meant Pro XS seeing as its a 2019.
Thanks Champ. I'm not really concerned with top end, I'm also a Erie guy. I'm more concerned with bottom end for boat control in the rough stuff and getting on plane of course. You run a 4 blade?
No it runs fine. I love this boat and plan on keeping it a long time and I'm in a positing to make this move. It has an etec on it now and I want a 4 stroke and warranty.
I'm considering repowering my 522D to a Pro XS 4 Stroke. By chance has anyone done this? Wondering how that 4 stroke will preform with this size of boat?
Most likely the noise is you don’t have the cartridge in properly… pull it out and reseat it.
