***UPDATE***

After lots of theories and trial and error, ultimately the issue was the loss of weight when switching to lithium batteries, and not having the prop to center correct when using the...

kingwood 250,

I think this is when I noticed it. I’m gonna test this theory soon.

2500,

This sounds plausible. I’m gonna rearrange some equipment and run it in a couple weeks. Not gonna touch the poles until I test this theory. I’ll make sure I raise the atlas to make my PTP...

1BADAIR,

You may be right. I’m gonna test this theory in two weeks.

Gonnabe

Yes sir, I’ll give you a shout in a couple weeks if I can’t get this square. Not gonna be on the water til the first weekend in March.

Caddelma,

I have not tried a different prop. FTR, I just officially measured my prop to pad. After leveling everything, making sure the atlas is all the way down, it’s 6.875”. I have the black...

2500,

I took a picture but when I attempt to upload the pic, BBC keeps telling me it’s pixels or whatever is too high. It’s like 4250 x 2750 and we are only allowed 1000 x 800 or something like...

Z520C,

just checked my keel guard…all good.

2500,

No transducers mounted in water line of engine.
Everything on my seastar setup seems fine. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to bleed the lines and add fluid as needed. Don’t think that’s my issue...

Question…how low should my power poles be mounted on my atlas hydro? It appears they are mounted almost as low as possible. Would that cause drag and throw me off pad?

Nothing loose…still puzzling

I think I have checked all the possible reasons…but I need the experts on here to guide me. 2013 520c, merc 2 stroke proxs, 2 blades, Atlas hydro jack. I have noticed regardless of jack plate level,...

Nice! I have the same year model 520c. I may need to do this soon.

DC and the things ColdSVT mentioned…

Sooooo worth it!

WOW! Nice job man! Great story and great work!

Good thinking. I need to just trim her all the way down and measure prop to pad as it sits on the plate now and go from there.

Thanks for the reply man! So 3 on the yellow tape out of the hole, leave it while running and just use regular trim to increase speed?

Best online store to order the part?

Guys I know this has been beat to death. I have searched the threads and found valuable information but nothing exact to my circumstances. I have a 2013 z520c with a Mercury 250 Pro XS. Load and...

Sorry for the delay...I have owned both. i prefer Yamaha for the four stroke hole shot (torque) and no oil purchasing at $35 a gallon.

Shimano SLX

Sweet boat!

I have a 13’ with a pro xs and couldn’t be happier. I prefer a Yamaha but the boat is awesome and the motor gets the job done.
