Thank Kevin - good to know. Hope you get a chance to run it soon!

I have been swaying back and forth between Seacast and the Arjay 6011... Leaning towards Seacast even though it's more than double...

Thanks Kevin,
I had seen some of your posts on that and your termite issue, and if I recall correctly you went with coosa braces now... and I assume you still have Seacast in the transom? How is...

I used a Pry bar, on a 2x4 while turning with the pipe wrench. Easier if you have 2 people.

Okay thanks Milo. I'm positive mine are fine.

From what I could tell (so Far) the only moist wood is in the top 2 inches of the transom.... and not consistent - water got in through the screw holes on the metal trim...

Yup - got that part... thx

I had been emailing back and forth with Seacast and they are suggesting I do the braces too because the Seacast is stiffer than the wood... says the wood will vibrate...

Hi Champ Nation,

For those of you that have gone the pourable (Seacast or Arjay 6011) transom route in your Mt. Home Champion, did you also do the inner braces with the same pourable product? Or...

Thanks Reggie!

Had bearing issues past weekend and need to get a new spindle welded on as my current one has gotten scored up enough to make me nervous. Does anyone in the Champ family know what size in length the...

Prop is a 25P Trophy and it should be good, I'm really careful with it. I borrowed a 25P Fury and a 25 Tempest to try this weekend.

I seem to have lost 2-3 MPH

Hi Guys, I had a look at them and they did have a little wear (grooved out a bit). Ordered and replaced them. Ran the boat this past weekend and no change in my issue. Any more thoughts? Should I...

Good call - Thanks J Risco, I'll have a look at them.

I have a 2009 Optimax (1B715331) and about a year, or year and a half ago, the Smart craft trim reading at WOT would only reach 9.5 or so. Previous to that time I would run WOT and trim fully to 10...

Okay - Thanks guys, appreciate your help.

Gonna stick with plan A.

Looking at either the 5345 or the 6345. The kit comes with the 5345. I don't plan on re-powering as the motor is an '09. The kit also says good for up to 300HP and speeds over 60MPH.

I guess the...

Just looking for advice on the following two options for Sea Star Hydraulic steering on a '95 202 with a 225 Opti:

Get the Sea Star Pro Kit which doesn't come with the "Pro" cylinder.

Thanks for all you help Don - Much appreciated!

Here are some pics of the switch assembly that I currently have.

I think it's a discontinued part from Sierra that is no longer available.

The key is square (ish) shape and the teeth are...

I have come to the conclusion that I do have an aftermarket ignition switch that (I think) replaces Mercury Pt# 87-897716K01. Can you tell me if the OE part has 6 pins in the harness?

Thanks again.

Thanks Don!

Is that a common issue, or am I one of the lucky ones?

I guess my next question would be - do you have a part number for it. All I have is that it's stamped with the key number on...

I had a strange issue when starting my 2009 Opti 225 the other day and wonder if my key switch is starting to go...

Here is what happened:

Insert Key - Turn to "On" - Hear the beep and smart...

Sad News. Here's to hoping that Mr. Pierce will buy the moulds... :smile:
