Yes thanks, my buddy clarified the year when he shared the S/N and told me the correct year. Guess he wasn't too sure what the year was when he first mentioned it to me.

Basically the story is, my...

Thanks guys, I'll definitely follow up with that stuff. Is there anything specific about that built date? Like EPA stuff, or known to lose cylinder 3 or anything like that?

Hi guys, Sorry for the delay. Been trying to get more info on this motor.

The serial number is: 2B111040
It's a 2015 250 Pro XS with 78 hours on it.

He just had it winterized and sent me the...

Hi,

I have the opportunity to re-power with a 2016 Pro XS 250 with only 58 hours. It currently belongs to the friend of a friend and was supposedly "meticulously maintained".

I fully intend on...

Update: Looks like the ignition switch is the issue. The key sort of sticks in the "start" position. If I give it a slight turn to "run" the starter disengages and the noise stops. So looks like it's...

Ok. I'll check the voltage tomorrow and report back. Is there a way to test the ignition switch, or is it just a matter of replacing it?

Thanks guys.

Hi all, I have a weird one for ya.

I have a problem that only seems to happen intermittently. My starter doesn't fully disengage from the flywheel and makes a...

Hey guys,

I got my boat out of storage and when I got it home, I noticed the frame cracked somewhere along the way. The crack is on the rear cross-brace, just under the bunk. Looking at it, I...

Great, thank you!

Hey guys,

Thinking of heading out to Pool 13 this weekend, but I never been out there with the water level this high and it's to supposed to keep rising. I was mainly planning on fishing Spring...

Sorry for updating a year later. Forgot all about it until I saw someone messaged me looking for what the solution was.
Turns out, I had a bad ignition coil. Was kind of surprised it didn't throw...

Hi,

Trying to track down the part number for a spare Flo-Torq hub.

I'm running a 2012 Pro XS 225 with a Fury prop. It does NOT have a TorqueMaster lower unit.

From what...

I'll check the gear lube. I changed it in April, but doesn't hurt the check.

I'll have to see if I have a torque wrench that does lbs/in

Out of curiosity, what bearing might it be? I think it's...

Yep. I pulled the cowling and flywheel cover. The belt looks fine, no wear that i could see, no cracking or rotting, nothing. Pulleys looked fine too. There's some rust on the starter head, with...

My motor is starting to make a sort of grinding/whining noise in neutral. "Grind" seems like strong word for the sound, but it sounds like a pulley scraping...

Great advice guys, thank you! Sounds like a blast!

I'm heading to Naples at the end of July for a few days with the family, and was wondering if you guys have any advice on where I might be able to put a 4th grader on some fish? She's really...

Well, still no luck.

I changed the spark plugs.
Drained the vapor separator tank
Changed the fuel separator filter
Checked under the flywheel cover for anything that looked wrong...

So I...

Thanks for the assist guys.

I'll pull off the flywheel cover on Friday when I do the plugs and VST filter and take a look. The belt was replaced maybe 1-2 years ago when I had the compressor...

Hey guys, I ran into an issue today and I'm wondering if it's bad gas? [insert fart joke here]

It had a hard start this morning, but brushed it off because it...

Hey guys,

I had a bearing go out on me the other day. I'm looking to replace all 4 hubs on my tandem axle 2012 Z8 trailer (and get a 5th assembly for a spare). Does anyone know how I can find the...

Yeah, I've heard it's great and it looks super easy to install. They have a great video on the install on their website. I really like those screw together nuts they use to splice the wires together

I definitely like the idea you're describing.

So you're running the 10AWG from the graphs to the Perko switch, each with an inline fuse. Then running a 4AWG from the switch to the battery?
What...

Thanks Lou, is that overcurrent protection basically just a breaker closer to the battery before it goes into the switch?

Something like this?

So if I'm following what you're saying, it would...

Hey guys,

I'm planning on re-wiring my electronics as I'm having issues where the graphs restart when I crank the motor or use the power poles.
