Good morning, wanted to share this video with you and get your thoughts on it. I bought a new boat in July with a 175 ProXS (s/n: 3B374087) and changed the oil at 20 hours along with the lower unit...

Hello, I’m buying a new boat with a 175 hp Merc. Pro XS 175. I have a few questions. The battery compartment is not big enough for 2 group 31 size batteries so here goes:

1) Running one Garmin 126...

Hello, I ordered a new boat (18’ Recon). The boat would come with 2 group 24 lead acid batteries for the 175 ProXS and 3 graphs (1-12” and 2 10” Garmins). Because of the compartment size I’m thinking...

Thanks Mike and Todd? Will give it a try.

Hello, before I sold my LCX I downloaded the waypoints to an SD card. How can I transfer these to my new, networked ECHOMAP Ultras? Thank you.

Question for Don, what temp should the motor be at when throttling up? On my Opti it’s 143 when the T-stats open. What is it on the four strokes? Thanks.

The seller is a big dealer. This isn’t passing the smell test.

Thanks for the info SF. I thought so.

Wasn’t there a 200 Verado at one time? This boat has the regular 3.4 V-6. Not sure if it’ll have enough snort.

Hello, I’m looking at a boat that is advertised as having a 200 hp Verado on it. The dealer says the s/n is 2B573926. When i look that up it shows a 2018 3.4L V-6 and not a Verado. This raises a...

Issac, I’d like to order one. Can you PM your PayPal info to me? Thank you.

Question for you all. Those of you that have the DTS option on your outboard, has it been reliable and is it worth it? Thanks.

Hey Garmin experts, I’m hoping to get a few questions answered here. I have the following units on my boat that I’ve purchased at different times.

1) ECHOMAP UHD 93sv on bow w/version 20.0 / no...

Don, can you talk a little about carbon buildup in the 4 strokes. I understand about the Opti’s with direct injection, but why do the 4 strokes have carbon issues or do they? Thank you.

Hell yeah! I like your thinking.

Wow! You got $20? They only offered me a $10 voucher. Lucky dude indeed. Screw BPS/Cabelas.

Ordered Friday. Got a cancel notice Saturday at 5 pm. Should have said unavailable at time of order. I’m done with BPS and Cabelas. Don’t care for how this was handled.

One thing I don’t understand is how newer cars/trucks have fuel lines that hold up just fine using ethanol and we are using marine fuel lines and yet they recommend replacing this expensive fuel line...

Can anyone tell me how long the gray/blue fuel line lasts when ethanol fuels have been used? My original gray/red line was replaced with the current gray/blue about 10-12 years ago. Thanks.

Chipper, did the power tune work?

Hello everyone, I have a 25 hp 4 strk. Merc. S/N: 0T086044. I am replacing the head gasket. Can anyone tell me the head bolt torque spec. The flywheel nut spec. Also the sequence for the head bolts...

Thanks Don. Are there 2 carbs on this engine? Are they easy to service as far as removing the float bowls etc? Sorry for the simple questions but I haven't seen this motor yet and I just want to get...

Hello, my neighbor has a 25 hp Merc. S/N: 0T086044. M/N: 2000 25ELH 4 ST. I haven't seen this motor yet and he is asking for help in getting it running right. I don't know if it's carbed(I assume it...

S/N:1B175886. I should add that the lower unit was replaced with a factory unit after I made contact with a reef on Lake of the Woods. I had very little run time on the new lower unit so it's hard to...

I have a 2005 150 Opti. I notice that sometimes when idling through a longer channel that the temp on my smart gauge goes as high as 158 before the tstats open and allow cooling flow through the...
