Ok, it looks to be working fine now. I thought there was a switch up front on those motor support rockers but after I took off the two side plates I saw that there is a metal piece that rotates in...

Anyone else had a sticky or bad power switch on a Terrova? Mine did not turn on last trip and I had to work the rocker (head stow) arm a few times to get it to turn on. Was wondering how you fixed...

Fresh set of take off limbs when going from 70 to 60 lbs. Limbs are in great shape with no scratches or dings. They fit many PSE bows but buyer must check fit and ending poundage for there intended...
Sorry OP, Hope I didn't highjack this but it looked like you got your answer.
Reading all this gets me thinking I might have set my boat up wrong. I have a 20' tiller boat with 2x Helix 12's in the...
I use the RPM bag also but leave the prop in my truck. Lakes are small enough that TM will get me back. Much easier to switch it out on trailer vs standing in water IMO.

I see the same thing with my Verado. I am guessing I get about a Table spoon full. I thought it was condensation because mine usually sits for a month in fall prior to changing the oil. I...
Thanks all. I used the last of my 25W-50 when I winterized the other day and will look for a deal on the 25W-40 Syn Blend for next year.

When I got my boat, Merc recommended 25W-50 Syn blend motor oil. Now my dealer only carries 25W-40. Which weight is best? Motor info. in signature. I also checked my service manual, they spec out...
That's what I get on both of my Helix 12's. I have a Verado so lots of outputs. I had a NMEA 2000 backbone just for my Level 2 Merc Monitor then added the black box to tap into the network. I put...
Thanks Wayne
One more question, I saw your other post about the HW units so I checked the new one and it is a 12 HW MSI GPS GN2, it came with an XM 9H1012 HW MSI GN2 transducer. My other GN2 is...
I had a Gen 1 and 2 Helix 12 on my boat. I ran the Gen 1 with the transducer turned off only for mapping and my Gen 2 with two SI ducers and a 2D ducer. The Gen one got water damage so I sent it in...
Look at Walleye Central under props, couple of posts there. I think they like the Rev4, but they are after handling not top end.
If you simply google the number, it comes up as a mercruser Bravo I.
I had Simons flash my 150 Verado a year ago. Engine runs great, only problem is the need to buy new props. I don't know what my max RPM is since I hold it back to 6500 (rev. limiter set at 6700)....
I think TTodd hit it for you if you use a Bravo 1 FS. 5300 RPM is way too low. A Tempest is a good prop IMO, but does not like a lot of height, your slip numbers might go up. That 25P will most...
Thanks guys, boat is still in snow. Will try looking at it once it warms up and I can open the cover up.

Guess I didn't state it clear enough. Not concerned with the smartstrike fish finding capabilities, just want to see contour lines and have I-link work for trolling. I will call them if I don't get...
Does anyone know if the bay of greenbay is covered on the Lakemaster Smartstrike chip? The list has GreenBay in bold, but the letters N/A behind it.
If you like your Tempest, try a Rav 4. Blade profile is the same just one extra. You can also run higher so should be getting like or slightly better speed. I have a totally different boat and...
Your right except for post number (I think you meant number 2). I mixed the two and thought you were saying the Tempest would run taller. I guess with age I need to read twice.
Ches.
Why do you think that? The Tempest and Rev 4 are the same Dia at the same pitch and are supposed to be much the same profile. I get 4 MPH more out of my Rev 4 than Tempest + at the same RPM, Slip...
Thanks, I should have clarified props that use flow torque hubs. I figured that was the answer but I have seen Flow torque boxes that specify a prop and not the gear case so the question was...
I think I would sell that prop to me for twice what you paid for it. If it were me, I would not cut it flat but cut it back on an angle to fit plus 1/4" or so. I had to do that to my old Johnson...
Thanks D Johnson for asking this question. I am always leery of running mine out of water to adjust settings and do software updates. Guess I don't have to be any longer.
