    If that requires a flush stern mount to register on 2d while on plane, it's impractical on a lake like Toledo Bend, with a lot of stumps and standing timber.

    Conversion from Gen 2 HDS to Elite FS.

    My Gen 2 HDS uses a glassed-in puck-type transducer for 2D, and a separate downscan/sidescan transducer mounted on the setback plate. Is it correct that the Elite FS only has one transducer port? ...

    Yes. That's correct. I have not been using full throttle during my holeshot, because I never had to do that with my 200 HPDI. It jumped right out of the hole and I could plane at 3,000 rpms...

    The holeshot is certainly better with the vent holes plugged, but it still seems to lag coming out, and I have to rev it to 4,000 rpms to get it on top. It's not an easy or smooth holeshot. I did...

    Thank you. I lowered the jackplate about 3/4" when I had the problem with the holeshot. 2500 suggested that I move it back to its original position.
    Please offer your opinion on raising or lowering...

    Please educate me. Raising the jackplate will help with holeshot? I would have thought the opposite.

    Today was the first time out after plugging the holes in the prop. It made a noticeable improvement, but still doesn't pop out of the hole like the Yamaha did, and revs up considerably more to get...

    I am trying to get more information about the prop. I've conceded that I should have asked more questions. There was never a reason for me to question the prop on the Yamaha. It performed so well...

    Prop blowout on holeshot

    I just repowered my 2005 Skeeter 200 TZX. I retired the 200 HPDI with 1,000 hours in favor of a new Mercury 200 Pro XS, 4 stroke. Holeshot was never a problem with the HPDI, nor was top-end...

    I recently re-powered my 2005 Skeeter 200 TZX with a new Mercury 200 Pro XS. It's a great motor, but blows out on takeoff, and doesn't settle out until it finally gets on top at about...
