Brendan can you tell me what your fuel supply issues were? I am having some myself. I can't get fuel when hot. Seems my vents are ok but I'm not 100%. If I hook up primer bulb straight to the tank...

I looked up those parts on top of the pickup tube. Its called a fuel demand valve. I replaced both, cheap plastic. I did reseal the fuel tank selector switch but did not replace. I also changed the...

Yes lines from the tank were replaced. All feed lines in the hull were replaced. Marine grade fuel line from a marine dealer. Bulb is a yamaha bulb and I can here the check ball working when it's...

Ok guys need some help so I don't get raped at a dealer for troubleshooting charges. I'm a mechanic (not marine) by trade. I have a Ranger 2012 z521 with a yamaha SHO. Above 90 degrees my motor runs...

Wayne at hydrotec. $650 plus shipping. Yes it was flashed to a 300. Wayne did a great job answering my questions and concerns about high elevation.

If you have questions or concerns call them...

Pretty sure it's 89 for sea level. Our octane goes 85,87,89. If I run the higher octane here it bogs. Wayne told me it's because the lower octane has more O2 in it. Made sense when I heard it put...

I recently had my ECU flashed and wanted to provide some decent feedback. Z521 ranger loaded heavy.

First piece of the puzzle that no one understands or can help with is high elevation. My home...

Thanks I will check. He worked a prop for me for even higher elevation. I just wish the fury would come in a 23p.

Hey everyone, I have a question you may be able to help with. I have a 2012 Z521 with and SHO 250. I live a 4800 feet and occasionally fish at higher elevation. This motor hates altitude. Been...

Thanks Rodney. That is exactly what I needed to know. I figured with the heavier boat it may want the prop a little lower in the water. I did load all my stuff up front which I thought was alot on...

We just dont build the same power up here. The motor compensates but without the oxygen it will not have the power. I think it is 3% loss for every thousand feet. I agree it is not propped...

Common guys can no one tell me the prop to pad hight for this rig? I pretty much just need to know if the old rule of measuring still applies. 3 1/2 and go up from there?

On the Z521 what prop to pad height on this boat? I have a 23PT1 ventless on the boat right now (high elevation 4600 ft) and I moved the jack plate through all the ranges and the holeshot was...

cajunsmitty, I have a 25T1 for the boat when I go to lower elevation. Up here you simply do not build the horsepower to spin that prop. I can barely get a 23P to spin fast enough. We just do not...

Thanks Ranger. Are you saying that both pumps run no matter the setting?

rzone, I ran the plate both ways. Down was more MPH but I tried all directions. Almost everyone on this board says to...

Well gents I finally got my new rig. Pics are coming soon. I have a couple of questions. The easy one first. When I hit the live well button both lights come on for the recir and main areators. ...

My new Z521 with 250SHO is at the dealer. He will prep it this week and is just waiting on the power poles to come in. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

I have a question...

Hard to relax when it is 60 outside and I dont have a boat. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/crying.gif
I am just trying to get a jump on everything. I hope the 23P will work up here for...

Hey everyone I am nearly part of the Ranger family. The new boat better be in production by now. It is supposed to be here march first.
I ordered it with 2 power poles and a hydralic JP.
Here...

So here is a question for your guys. I just ordered a Ranger with a 250 SHO and I live in Colorado which is higher elevation. Our gas octane levels are 85, 87, and 89. Because of the elevation...

Hey everyone I am close to ordering a new Z521 with the SHO. My question is how are the digital guages for the SHO and how do they look if anyone knows. Are they worth the extra $$$.

Thanks...

Can you give me the info I need to check with the temp gun? Also can I do this on a hose?

No I haven't but I can see with the water pressure gage that the thermostats open. When I start it no pressure on the gage after a minute or so it picks up.
I also noticed last night a lot of oil in...

This year right out of the box I noticed I was idleing around 400 RPMs. It was very cold out (35 or so) and it sputtered horribly trying to get on plane. Then it ran fine. I got off plane and it...
