Why would I look under the rub rail.. This crack is at the rear of the battery access opening next to the engine.. i have already checked the knee braces and they are good no cracks.. I have since...
The knee braces are good to go.. Here is the crack??

Hello all my fellow Sprint owners!! So yesterday I was running a new power line for my HDS9 touch.. I get back to the back of my 1999 207DC and open the battery access panel.. I noticed a crack on...
Got the new Merc 225 Pro XS with torque master lower on finally!! WOW what a HUGE difference.. Already got 71.5 at 5500 out of it turning a 25p Fury 3 blade.. The engine is still in break in mode so...
You might want to let us know what engine you are running?? If I had to guess looking at your RPMs I would say you are running a 150 or less and that the 24P prop is to much.. Just a hunch... Without...
The Merc I am getting also has a low water and I was told that a 25P should be a good prop for it.. I would love to go with a 250 but the boat is only rated for 225.. How did you manage a 250?? Is...
Going to repower my 2000 207DC with a Merc Pro XS 225 with the torque master lower!! Any suggestions on prop? I will post my speeds in a few weeks once its good and broke in.. Those extra CCs should...
So I am putting a brand new Merc Pro XS 225 torque master on my 207DC in the next week or so.. Any idea on how fast it should push me?? That black and red is going to look so good on my Metal Flake...
Ok so here is a quick run down.. a couple months back I noticed the engine, a 1997 2.5L fuel injected Mariner 225 Super Mag Ser# 0G503078, running around 190 degrees or so.. I am running about 4500...
So I got a pair of these V-T2 livewell vents.. They are made of high quality durable black plastic and are 3" in diameter. You simply cut a 3" hole in the lids of your livewell doors and slip them in...
I used this crank bait several times so far and have to say I like it a lot. I find the quality is top notch and so far have caught a bass, crappie and 9lb blue cat with it. It runs true and...
Mark should I go for the Tempest or Tempest plus? Also what initial plug setup would you suggest for a plus?? Right now with my 26 Chopper I can get up on plane in about 3-5 seconds..
Thanks and I am going to try both the Tempest and 24P Chopper.. I have a feeling I will end up with the Tempest since the big barrel helps with lift.. Sprint boats are pigs and need lots of lift.
I pretty sure it was a Trophy.... What would you say about either a 24P Big Ear Chopper or a 23P Tempest??
I have tried a 24P 4 blade and both just didnt seem to have enough lift.. I was told I need a 3 blade to get the pig of a boat I have up out of the water.. Is that a incorrect statement? I know the...
I have a 2000 Sprint 207DC with a 225 Mariner Super Mag 2.5L I currently have a 26P Big Ear Chopper that gets me to 68 at WOT which is just 5800 RPMs.. The engine is rated to run up to 6600.. I...
Check the quick disconnect plugs from the boat wiring to the engine, they are on the right side of the engine. I had a similar problem and it turned out those plugs had got a little moisture in them....
Ok so I blew my Mariner 225 Super Mag, bad bent a rod wasted a sleeve and took out the crank. I got a local outboard GENIUS to rebuild it for me and it looks as if what he did coupled with have my...
How far below the pad is very dependent on the prop you are running. I have a 207DC with a 225 Mariner Super Mag and a 26 pitch big ear chopper and run it about 2.25 inches below. I did have to close...
I
If its injected you could have clogged injectors.. I had mine serviced and found that 2 of them where flooding out all the time..
Well due to hitting rocks around the ramp loading my boat last week I am finally getting the Big Ear Chopper worked, though this is not how I had planned on it. Have a real good prop guy here in the...
Ok so I finally got a prop that works.
2000 Sprint 207 DC
1997 Mariner 225 Super Mag
8" plate all the way up
26p Chopper Big ear prop
15 Gal fuel live wells empty
All gear on board and just...
Ok I finally did some tinkering with my jackplate. Got 67 by GPS with a Big Ear 26P chopper about 2 inches below the pad on my 2000 207 Limited DC with a 225 Mariner Super Mag. I had to close off the...
Thanks for pointing out about the heat sink. I will remove the rubber grommets and just add another piece of the plastic on the bottom. I do however feel the design could be a tad better had the...
