Just purchased a Skeeter 2250 Bay Boat with a 250 SHO. I do not have the boat yet but soon.
I am sure this has been posted on here so my apologies if it has.

What is the break in procedures?...

I have a 175 merc Pro Xs and run a 24 tempest plus with Hydraulic jack plate. I do have two prop vent plugs completely out. My rig hops up quick and rolls.

Look up Capri carpets. It’s called “ship n shore” I think. It’s the real deal. Used them many times over.

It takes seat time to drive a Phoenix. I have a 618 with 175 merc and previously a champion with a 175 Yami. I could drive the champ with one hand and with ease. The Phoenix took me a good amount...

mine looks similar. Such a drastic upgrade. They should make boats with this built in.

Was hoping Don could chin in here. 2015 Merc 175 Pro XS
just Hit 100 hours. Runs like a top.

What do you/merc recommend service wise at this time?

Sorry if this is an over asked...

Side note that my 2015 618 175 merc Pro Xs will Be for sale May 1st. It’s in showroom condition and has tons of extras. Hit me up if interested. I fish the Chesapeake Bay with mine and it does...

I am looking at some new bay boats that come rigged with Zuki 4 stroke 200-225-250.
I have mostly been a Yami guy and don’t know much on these. Can anyone offer opinions? Issues?
love it, hate...

I will be selling my 618 in the early summer. I bass fish on electric only lakes in Maryland and striper fish the Chesapeake bay with the Phoenix. But the Phoenix is kind of inadequate in some of...

Forgive me if this is already posted.

What should be done at the 100 hour mark? Motor runs like a top.
Thanks!!

Hey Guys, I have a 2015 618 and my passenger console is a disaster. For the first year all is great. 2nd year it gets loose. I tighten all associated nuts and bolts. It's snug again then one or...

3 series 31 Trojans in my rig.

That's odd. You may have a ground issue starting on trailer. Maybe. Run through your trailer wires and see if any wires have frayed.
There is one bad spot that's difficult to notice. Follow the...

I do not have any marks from towing with a cover. On previous boats I did see some marks. If it's wet the cover is on. Dry, no.

Just sent you a pm.

Running it all the way down keeps your prop in the water. If it's bad I drop mine down and roll.

I find it's much easier to pay attention to the bunks themselves. My forward most bunks stick out about 1.5". That is my sweet spot to load. If it's a steep ramp I may have a bit more bunk out of...

My Phoenix has smooth clean white fiberglass that shines as good as the rest of the boat.

I don't think Phoenix has them but would love to find a place to make them.

My champion for ten years maybe got to see rain 5 maybe 10 times ever. My Phoenix is a rain magnet. Almost 3 years old and been wet at least 40 times. My compartments are always dry. Champion was...

I would start with one plug out and two plugs in. If that helps try one in and two out. That's how I run mine but I have a 175 and a hydro jack plate. If I take them all out all I do is spin. If...

Never fails that Tim at Phoenix always come through. I called Tim this morning and left a message about my console that keeps coming loose. I have tightened the passenger console over and over and...

I run a 24 tempest plus on my 175 Merc 618 pro. So yeas wrong prop. Can't imagine that's good for break in either??

Coming from a business owner that does bass boat carpet on and regular basis I can't tell you all to look up Capri Carpets. They are mill direct with great prices and the real deal carpet. I believe...

Balzout is great. Third year with it. Love it!!
