This is exactly what I’ve done with my 2017 200 SHO. 318hrs and…so far no issues other than making oil early on… Amsoil is quality also and will probably be the route I go when my warranty expires in...

I have run so many props on my 2018 X19 200 SHO, I’ve lost count. I’ve kept 2 of them. 24p VMAX SHO and a 25p Bravo XS with all holes plugged. The SHO is about 1 mph faster on the top end but the...

I wasn’t trying to start a debate on which one is better. I only mentioned having a brushless motor as being a big deal to me… The entire world is going brushless simply because it’s better. It’s...

Tightening the manual lowering screw fixed mine too.

This is the exact reason why I went with a Lowrance. I wanted something with cable steering but I couldn’t get passed the fact the Tour Pro has a brushed motor.

I was able to fit 3 group 27 Optimas in my Tracker battery compartment. I would think if you went with two 50ah lithiums for your trolling motor, you would gain some room for something in the group...

Assuming the engine is off, I would have someone rotate the prop while you try to shift it into gear. That’s how I have to put my 200 SHO into gear when the engine is off.

Fixing the leaky boxes on an Xpress is very easy…I fixed mine in about 30 minutes total. My boxes are dry… and I love my X19.

WranglerSS…Do you have 50ah Ionics? And if so, have you ever had a problem exceeding the maximum continuous discharge current?

Very good information Bill….
Yes I meant maximum continuous discharge current...
I was thinking 56 amps was locked rotor and/or initial starting current when the trolling motor is set to 100....

It’s time to replace my group 27 Optimas trolling motor batteries. They have served me well for 7 years. I would like to go with 50ah lithium batteries. I think they would give me plenty of run time...

What year X19 do you have? The late 2018’s and later are a little heavier and slower and need to be propped a little lower than the older ones with the same motor. I’ve tested a ton of props on my...

My Optimas are 2015 and still going

I will try that. Thanks

^^That is some very interesting and useful information.^^
Has anyone noticed if the Kipawa operates with less vibration? My 2 blade Minn Kota prop on my Fortrex vibrates pretty bad on anything above...

I use a modified Alberto knot. If you YouTube Fred Roumbanis knot, that’s what I tie. I’m using 65-80lb braid to 25-30lb Berkeley Big Game mono leader. I tie that to 12” 80lb and up manufactured...

65-68 with my man sized teen age son. 2018 X19 200 SHO. 25p Bravo 1xs, 10” manual jack plate

I have the exact same boat. 2108 X19 200 SHO. All of that weight up front is your problem. I can’t imagine having those 3 batteries up front. Very strange set up…. Performance on these boats declines...

^^^THIS^^^ with possibly substituting the Northstar with for a lithium starting battery to save some weight.

The OP said he would be using a braid to 4-6’ leader set up. Without a snap every time he changes a lure he loses 12-18” of his leader. So 2 or 3 lure changes and now he has to tie on a new leader....

I bought an Xpress trailerable cover directly from Xpress.

I had a puddle of gear oil on my garage floor caused by over tightening. I over tightened them because I used some off Amazon (big mistake) that loosened up and I got water in my lower unit. I went...

Make sure you’re using Yamaha seals and tightening them the proper amount…. I had the same problem when I used seals I found on Amazon. They would loosen up over time and I ended getting up water in...

My 2017 did the same thing. Tightening the manual lowering screw fixed mine.

tlefire, what ah lithiums do you have?
