That would mean I’m buying another Legend. Told my wife the V20 was the last. Don’t know how I’d break the news :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

You’re right, lots of variables and with boat performance not being exactly the same output, even in like-boats. Unfortunately there’s no right answer and it may be a matter of experimenting to get...

To preface, I have a V20 so can’t say anything is 1:1 between the alpha and v20 storage, but wanted to give my experience.

I was able to find a 125ah lifepo battery that I could squeeze into the...

Usually there are only two predrilled holes on each side of a jackplate for mounting anchor brackets.

Can’t say for sure for your year, but my 2017 doesn’t require to clear the code.

Bump for the gurus and people who are willing to share their experiences in general. You may have been the only person who has experienced and resolved an issue, and it’s worth is only measurable by...

lol I know the feeling all too well and am pretty quick taking that stats out too lol

Take the T-stats out and inspect and clean. Make sure you get some new gaskets when you re-install.

You’re good. Just don’t take it over 1500 rpm.

:praying: Thanks for the info! Will contact them.

will have to check this out. Wonder if they recall or have a blueprint of the one they made. Was this specifically for a V20?

Ok thanks!

I have yet to take the seat off, which I think would really help me give me confidence and a visual on how I can and can’t install something.

Did you just reuse the existing screw holes with longer screws to accommodate the additional 1”?

Hey folks! I have short guy problems in my V20. I can’t see over the console that well enough especially on hole shot. I currently use a throwable pfd as a booster. Anyone install something permanent...

But what if it was every trip? That’s the thing that I have a gripe with. I don’t like being a bickering Betty but it’s frustrating is all. It’s just hard to accept that there’s no other solution...

What are the people to do when someone is in this position? It’s just strange. What’s more important, temp or psi? Cold seize or overheat? It just sucks that when you start the day and 10mins into...

This is true, but the stigma of the magical 120-130deg number is what scares us all with smartcraft gauges. Especially the phrase cold seize. So if I’m fishing a tournament and the motor happens to...

I think the screens would help keep the chunky stuff out. Similar concept with the ancillary piece apdriver was referring to. Keep an eye on PSI and clear out the junk if it builds up, presumably...

I wonder how an extended water line would affect PSI?

Yea that’s what I’m exploring is how I can install screens on the lower unit. That strainer idea sounds interesting but slightly more complicated or skill required to do haha.

Hey Don, I’m sure it’s not recommended, but I’m just wondering if there’s any tappable/drill-able surface area around the side intakes?

Hey Don, I’m in Minnesota. I admit, I used to power load but not anymore because of this. I’m not trying to bash the Merc, it’s just new territory to me because I’ve never had this with my old Etec,...

I hear you. Very frustrating indeed. My understanding was the TMII already had revisions to it with reducing the amount of side intake holes. Wonder how this didn’t make the service bulletin.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Sounds like there really is no explanation on how to resolve this, and just to live with it. I usually idle out from the launch with the motor trimmed up (nose in the...

Hello, so I have a 2017 ProXS 250 (SN: 2B231951) with a TMII lower. This is my first Merc I’ve owned, and am a little frustrated with how it’s been sucking up the entire lake ecosystem. The issue I’m...
