I have a 2017 150 4S (non verado). It sounds really weird especially at mid range speeds. It sounded kinda different when knew but it seems like it’s getting worse. It runs great it...
I bought a new Ultrex 112 last fall. It worked the rest of the season just fine. I took it out for the first time this weekend and if I took my foot off the pedal it would steer all the way to the...
Mine broke about 3 times. I had a machine shop make me a set out of stainless steel and so far so good. Had them 2 years problem free.
On the back of the tach is an adjustment. They get corroded over time. Note the position. Turn it each way a few times and then back to the original position. That would be the first place to look....
Pretty sure the H51 was narrower than the X or H17.
I used to have a ‘98 90hp Yamaha on my H18. It went 35-37 loaded and best I saw was 40 by myself. I had a 15p Solas Stainless prop that I had worked to a 16p(definitely not the ideal prop but it’s...
I like the way the boat handles with a trophy. Not the fastest prop but it handles really well. I have a mercury and not a yammy, so I’m not sure on pitch for you. I would guess a 23or 24p. I hit the...
I have an 18ft Xpress rated for a 150. Last summer I repowered to a new 150 4S from an ‘02 XR6. I’m not a fan of the loan payment again, but otherwise no complaints. Hole shot is great. Fuel...
Yes H and X hulls are the same design. Thickness of the hull varies some depending on year and model. ( I think the PRO models had a slightly thinner hull)
Did you notice any improved performance or speed after the pad work? Or anything negative?
I just repowered less than 2 months ago. I went with the Mercury 150 4stroke. So far I love it. Price wise it was cheaper than a SHO or Etec. It's also lighter and very low, easy maintenance. They've...
That is a pretty hefty load. What rmps are you seeing at wide open throttle? I would assume most guys on here set their boat up for two guys and a tournament load. Adding an extra adult and child...
Thanks for the help guys. I moved the adjustment on the tach back and forth to remove any corrosion. It seems to be working now. I'm hoping to get a smart craft gauge of some sort in the near future.
So far I love my Merc 4stroke! Never owned an Etec so I can't say anything good or bad.
Thanks a lot Don! Do you know if Vessel View Mobile is worth a darn? Looked like that might fit my application. Do you stock them?
Vinegar does stink but that seemed to work the best. I mixed it 50/50 with water and added a few drops of dawn dish soap. It took a lot of scrubbing with a micro fiber cloth but it shined it up nice.
I think right around 60 loaded is what you should expect when set up correctly. The best I ever saw loaded with two guys and my 02 XR6 was 62.5 . I'm still breaking in my new motor, but I'm hoping...
Will it void the warranty or harm the motor running it on the limiter? I was running a 23P Trophy with just me. I'm thinking with another person and my 24p Trophy I should be off the limiter anyway....
My guess is that both are a lithium complex. If they are then you will be fine. It wouldn't hurt to call the dealer and see what type of grease was used. All the marine grease I have ever seen have...
Yep got that hooked up and working, thanks!
2B455694 Does anyone know what the rev limiter is set at on a 150 4S ? I think my tach is off. It showed I was spinning 6200 RPMs if I kept the throttle down and I didn't notice it cutting out . I...
You might have to remove the motor from the JP and move it up a bolt hole or two to get the desired height. I would think that motor could run a little higher with 12" of set back.
Got it figured out through a PM. There's a plug on the exhaust manifold next to the top coil pack.
2B455694 Is it even possible to use an analog gauge with this motor? I have the gauge and the hose from my old motor. If it's possible where do I splice in on the motor to hook it up? The dealer...
