Champion 198

Yes in December

Don't have Yamaha Tach. Would Low Oil Pressure Alarm only come on every once in a while running at WOT for 10 minutes or more?

SHO Owners/Experts, just started getting an alarm the past couple of months every once in a while when running WOT (6100-6200 RPMs). Engine drops down below 3000 rpms, it goes off and then I...

About 3-4 weeks to arrive from the time I ordered. Worth the wait.

Llebroc did a great job...couldn't be happier.

Well Ed...cold in south Louisiana during winter is around 40 degrees. Probably a balmy day for you northern guys.:laugh:

72 all day long, probably as high as 75 on a cool crisp morning with that new SHO.

I am a 2005 198 owner. Everything original on the boat still in perfect working condition other than the old Yammy I had to replace in 2016. Still all original pumps, hoses, switches, wiring,...

I used to run a worked 25P T-1 and ran an original Bravo 1 26P the same rpms or perhaps a little less because my boat didn't like the Bravo at all and wouldn't get up and perform like it did with the...

2005 198 with 2016 Yamaha SHO 225

I have this setup and it required the 2 piece Mercruy Flo Torq II Hub kit.

I have the same motor, they really shine above 6000 rpms. Try a 24 T2 or have Mark Croxton work on the T1 you have. You are not maximizing the horsepower of your motor at 5700-5800 rpms, it needs...

UPDATE: Prop was not bent very much but they straightened to within a couple thousandths (.002). Glad I brought it in though because the seal was indeed damaged and needed to be replaced along with...

Thanks Steve. My local guy also told me that it sounded like a "straighten job" rather than a replacement. i'm bringing it in today for the repair.

Thanks jimsch

Upon inspection of my prop after a trip yesterday I noticed a slight "wobble" in my shaft. I haven't felt any vibration or noticed any performance loss lately.

Question is do I need to replace...

In my experience you have to turn over 6000 rpms with a SHO to gain optimal performance. Going up in pitch won't do that.

For whatever the SHO finds a whole other gear when it climbs above 6000...

Does the Balance & Blueprint involve thinning the blades because I definitely want to avoid that?

Thanks Magnum

Just tried one on my setup for the first time and was really impressed, especially in the dog days of August in the deep south.

Anyone know the pitch comparison between Tempest and Yamaha T1/T2? Want to try a Tempest but not sure if I should get same pitch or go up or down?

The FXP is a smaller diameter prop (14-3/4" compared to 15-1/4") than the T2. Also in my experience the FXP runs just a tad stiffer than the T2

Grout, my 198 didn't perform that well with the Bravo due to a lack of Bow lift. I even had Mark work his magic on it. It had a good hole shot and midrange but couldn't fly on the top end as the...

My 05 198 with a 225 SHO runs 71 tourney load and 73 normal load with a Croxton worked T1 24P. Top Speed light is 74.5 on a 40 degree morning. Prop to pad is 3" below as well.

Thanks guys

Any place to buy Champion seat covers for a 2005 198?
