My 250ss has been great. Smooth, quiet and good fuel economy if I keep around 4K rpm. With a Scorpion prop it’s even better. Very glad I went with Suzuki.

My 250ss has been great. Smooth, quiet and good fuel economy if I keep around 4K rpm. With a Scorpion prop it’s even better. Very glad I went with Suzuki.
Update on prop, ran a 25p Scorpion and picked up about 400rpm and was able to get 65.6 mph before I let out of it. My best with the fury was 63 mph. Boat has more lift and I can run the jack plate...
How much did you lose? I am leaning toward a razor xl now for overall performance but would like to try the Scorpion. They are pretty inexpensive for a prop but still a lot of money if it doesn’t...
I am looking at the same thing myself. From what I have read here is that the Razor XL is very similar to the Bravo XS and is not as stiff as the Scorpion. I would imagine based on that you may need...
Good info! I am looking to try one of these as well and from my reading you need to go down two pitches because they are stiff. Can anyone confirm that sounds right? I am running a Fury 27 now at...
Thanks for all the replies. I ended up ordering Suzuki product since I could not find it locally in stock. One thing I did notice is the mercury and some other oils are gl-4 rated and don’t match the...
Thanks, ordered some Starbrite marine silicone to use.
What is the best sealant for transom bolts on a painted aluminum boat? I am preparing to install my jack plate and I have 3m 5200 on hand but I am reading mixed reviews on using it for this...
About to do my first 20 hour service, what gear oil is best for the lower unit? My manual says 90 weight but looks like Suzuki brand comes in 90 and 80w-90.
Thanks for the reply, appreciate your thoughts! Good points on the squat, I am already rear heavy with fuel tanks, batteries, etc. so it may be best to be a bit more conservative in set back. You are...
Any information out there on choosing the correct amount of set back for your jack plate? I have a new Seaark BC210 with a Suzuki 250SS and would like to add a hydraulic jack plate but can't decide...
Just purchased a 2001 polar kraft hp. Does anybody have any experience with this boat? I am having trouble finding any info on it. Looking for any setup info or performance to compare to. Has a 115...
Thanks for the replies everyone. rjd, I am interested in your thoughts after you get yours set up. What hull and motor did you have before the Honda?
I am looking at repowering my boat with a Tohatsu 150. After some reading it looks like the Tohatsu 150 is a Honda. Does any one have experience with the Tohatsu and what if any differences are there...
For those wondering on price, a 150 Mercury Fourstroke is $10,390 without controls. I got a quote today on a Suzuki 150 and it is around $11k with controls. All prices not included tax or install.
...
The Merucry 150 Fourstroke is about 12k installed with controls. That is my base line price and about as cheap as it gets new as far as I can tell.
Thanks for the replies. Buying a used motor does seems like a crapshoot and they hold their value somewhat. The used motors I have found are around half the cost of new and some were around 10 years...
I am looking to re-power my boat with a newer (less than 10 years old), more reliable and fuel efficient 150. What would be motors to consider in the $6K range that are efficient and reliable? I am...
Thanks for the replies! I am going to set up a time this week to look at the boat. I will check the numbers.
Does anyone know of any issues with the 2100? Boat should have a 225HP Yamaha. I may be looking at one to purchase and information on the Bees is not easy to find. Does this boat have wood in the...
I fished Pickwick today and man do they have it down low. I sure hope they get it to summer pool soon. TVA is saying April 15 they will start raising it. I don't know what that is going to do to the...
Beach marks are an indication of fatigue failure. A microscopic crack will slowly over time increase in size and create a pattern similar to sand on a beach until the part ultimately fails. Fatigue...
Which style Oetiker clamp does Evinrude use? There are kits available that aren't very expensive and come with Knipex crimpers. <u>http://www.alexgs.com/oetiker-18500060.html</u> Looking at Oetiker's...
Have oetiker clamps superseded the cable tie type fuel hose clamp part #320107? If they have which type of oetiker clamp is the replacement? I am looking to buy a kit with the crimping pliers if...
