    <2B455694>

    I have a 2017 150 4S (non verado). It sounds really weird especially at mid range speeds. It sounded kinda different when knew but it seems like it’s getting worse. It runs great it...

    Ultrex turns on its own

    I bought a new Ultrex 112 last fall. It worked the rest of the season just fine. I took it out for the first time this weekend and if I took my foot off the pedal it would steer all the way to the...

    On the back of the tach is an adjustment. They get corroded over time. Note the position. Turn it each way a few times and then back to the original position. That would be the first place to look....

    I like the way the boat handles with a trophy. Not the fastest prop but it handles really well. I have a mercury and not a yammy, so I’m not sure on pitch for you. I would guess a 23or 24p. I hit the...

    I have an 18ft Xpress rated for a 150. Last summer I repowered to a new 150 4S from an ‘02 XR6. I’m not a fan of the loan payment again, but otherwise no complaints. Hole shot is great. Fuel...

    Yes H and X hulls are the same design. Thickness of the hull varies some depending on year and model. ( I think the PRO models had a slightly thinner hull)

    I just repowered less than 2 months ago. I went with the Mercury 150 4stroke. So far I love it. Price wise it was cheaper than a SHO or Etec. It's also lighter and very low, easy maintenance. They've...

    That is a pretty hefty load. What rmps are you seeing at wide open throttle? I would assume most guys on here set their boat up for two guys and a tournament load. Adding an extra adult and child...

    Thanks for the help guys. I moved the adjustment on the tach back and forth to remove any corrosion. It seems to be working now. I'm hoping to get a smart craft gauge of some sort in the near future.

    Vinegar does stink but that seemed to work the best. I mixed it 50/50 with water and added a few drops of dawn dish soap. It took a lot of scrubbing with a micro fiber cloth but it shined it up nice.

    I think right around 60 loaded is what you should expect when set up correctly. The best I ever saw loaded with two guys and my 02 XR6 was 62.5 . I'm still breaking in my new motor, but I'm hoping...

    Will it void the warranty or harm the motor running it on the limiter? I was running a 23P Trophy with just me. I'm thinking with another person and my 24p Trophy I should be off the limiter anyway....

    You might have to remove the motor from the JP and move it up a bolt hole or two to get the desired height. I would think that motor could run a little higher with 12" of set back.
