Thanks guys
Also thanks to Doug for taking the time to post this. It has given me the confidence to take mine apart and do this
Thanks Wayne, but to clarify who makes “5200” glue? There are a lot of “waterproof” claims, I’m wondering which exactly have been used with good results?
Going to route the transducer cable up my terrova shaft. Any suggestions for best glue? Waterproofness, strength etc? I’d hate to have to redo because I chose wrong. Thanks for any input.
Thanks for this post on routing the transducer cable on terrova Doug. I’m going to give this a go, what would the best glue be to use?
Sorry for the delay in closing this up guys but after I got it to the dealer to find I had indeed sucked a lot of water in that cut bulb I went right back out to the lake. Fishing has been...
Thanks guys, I figured it needed to go to the dealer for fault code readings that’s why I loaded it and brought it home with me. I have read this link more than once and know that it needs to be...
I think so. It is peeing nice and strong. Problem there is my old style gauges don’t work with the newer motor, I’m in the process of getting mercmoniter gauge to get all info. I can say it did...
Today I hit mud in shallow water, when I tilted my 2005 225 pro xs ser# 1B174045 to check my prop I cut the primer bulb and then ran the engine out of gas. I replaced the bulb and got the engine...
Thanks to all who have helped me to understand.
What a great idea, so simple too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks savage, that’s what I was hoping to hear. So say for fuel monitoring I won’t need to put a new sender in the tank or line? I see the trim sender is digital already. A lot of Mercmoniter kits I...
Parts like that will be hard to find. Me personally, I’d take a hockey puck and use a 1 or 1.5” hole saw and cut out two, then counter sink a hole for the screw and you’d have two new ones. That’s...
Well I went ahead with the 2005 225 pro xs. Just had it installed and am very happy with the hole shot now ( 2 seconds on plane) with 25fury cupped and worked to 26 and had it to 62 on gps at 5800...
Thanks Don. From researching last night and today some wiring diagrams I have come to he conclusion that Smartcraft is n my future. One question though on this 2005 engine will I still need to...
I swapped out my 1999 200 opti for a 2005 225 pro xs ser#1B174045 and have some wiring questions. I had to use a 8 pin to 14 pin harness part no 896542a01. I have wires from the dash that go to the...
Thanks for the info Savage!
That’s what I’ve always felt about my boat also. With that said I had one cyl down at 95-97 compression for a while so kind of thought that was the problem.
So my 200 finally let go. I have the opportunity to purchase a 2012 250 pro xs. My question is this, I have an 8 pin wiring harness in my procraft, can I purchase the 8 pin to 14 pin harness...
You know ANG I’m thinking the exact same thing. I can get the 25o with just under 300 hours cheaper than the 225 with 490 hours. The 250 is newer to boot.
Yes my mistake. The boat is 1995. The 200 opti is a 1999
My boat is a1995. It’s in really nice shape but I think 250 would be pushing the hull/Transom a bit. It’s just that the marina I am talking with has a real low hours 250 that he’s willing to deal...
Thanks ANG, this is what I thought. To bad though I could get a real deal on a 250xs. Oh well I’ll find a good deal on a 225.
I have a 99 pro craft v200d and I can’t read my capacity plate anymore. The writing is completely faded. Can anyone tell me what the max hp rating is for this boat? Thanks
My friend has a 16' smokercraft pro xl with an etec 75hp. He chewed his prop up pretty bad and is wondering what pitch to buy. His stock was 17p and hole shot was pretty good but would like a little...
