My 250 was slinging oil all over everything when new from up under the flywheel. There was a SB that came out, turns out the seal was so loose in the block that it could be removed by hand. New...
I did a lot of testing with the Fury 3 blades ( 24,25 & 26p ) props on my 2020 Eyra with Merc ProXS v8. Search the forum and you'll find my original posts. In short...my 2020 Eyra, loaded with dual...
I'm sure the experts will jump in and add to this, but the only 2 things I know of are:
1) early engines thru about June/July of 2019 had a 3 hole water pick-up in lower unit. Later models went to...

Elwood....thank you for sharing !!!!! I understand my TM l/u and standard 250 ProXS fishing motor are no match for the 300R & SM l/u. However I'm super impressed with your time, efforts, research...

Owned a PII and driven everything but the Jag. Both the PII and Classic are rockets out of the hole...by far the quickest BassCats from 0-60. Classic does feel a bit bigger on the front deck or...
