Good to know, lines and bulb did all look fine when I removed them and replaced with the new ones. And yes worm gear clamps are gone, all radius ties and oetiker clamps now.

Good to know, lines and bulb did all look fine when I removed them and replaced with the new ones. And yes worm gear clamps are gone, all radius ties and oetiker clamps now.
I see, thanks for the info! I’ll plan on doing that then. As far as the new line, bulb, etc. Was just planning on doing those as preventative measure after finding that gunk in the VST under the...
gotcha, that makes sense. Will do that, thanks!
interesting, I was thinking the same line would be ran from the bulb to the pulse pump, instead of changing to that section of black line for just 1 foot before the pulse pump. There’s enough of the...
Motor is a 2016 250 pro XS serial number 2B125795
Discovered this while doing annual maintenance, removed old red cap filter in vst and inspected inside, found some debris which I now believe are...
Jackplate height can make a huge difference in speed and rpm's, if you are running it fully down your RPM's will be way low and have tons of drag, if its too high prop can lose bite and you'll have a...
What height have you been running your motor at on the jackplate?
Also, thanks for all the other thoughts everyone, my boat right now isn’t exactly fast, so the 921 being a bit slower than the other phoenixs wouldn’t really be a problem for me, my top speed in the...
that’s awesome, loved my 201, and thanks for the info on the PHX series as well I’ve been looking at those too. I’m in the Hudson area and have a few tournaments in the lacrosse area throughout the...
Still a bit but not nearly as much. Basically anything about a half inch or more down on the jackplate from fully up has significantly less play. Also just got it back from the shop and they...
That sounds awesome! Definitely thinking I’ll be upgrading to a Phoenix next season, hopefully a 1-2 year old 921 elite if I can find one.
Have had a similar issue, never found the cause it just kinda went away. Thinking it’s something with thermostats, at first I’d always stop and shut down the motor when I heard the alarm, after a...
Thanks BassDaggett,
Would also be interested in thoughts from 721 owners, I’m used to having a big boat so that’s why I’m looking at the 921, but I used to have a stratos 201 which I loved and...
Definitely make sure to fully let it warm up, and verify thermostats are working correctly if you can on VesselView or merc monitor etc. I blew up my pro XS when I first got it (warranty replaced...
Hey all,
I’m planning on trading my boat in at the end of this season, and have been thinking about getting a 921 elite. I sat in a 921 elite and took a look around it at a dealer today, but I...
+1 ionic batteries are awesome, have the 125ah cranking battery and it’s been a game changer. Run all weekend without a charge with 4 graphs and livescope, and still have enough juice to crank my...
I am for sure running a bobs on my next boat, from the people I know who run them they say they’re faster and tougher, I’m planning on trading this boat in after this season anyways, so since TH...
I reached out to TH Marine support, and they confirmed that this is normal, here is exactly what they said:
Yes, they can’t be completely rigid, some play is normal and as long as the jack plate...
Here’s a link showing what I mean, jackplate was all the way up here. https://youtube.com/shorts/nVo55QkrlxA?feature=share
Hey All,
I run an atlas hydraulic jackplate on my 2016 250 ProXS, recently I noticed that if I lift the motor by the cavitation plate, especially when jackplate is all the way up, there is about a...
You should be able to look it up by your serial number in the Mercury parts catalog : https://www.mercurymarine.com/en/us/parts-and-accessories/parts-catalog
The parts catalog has been super...
makes sense, good to know. Seems odd that this anode falling off or just being missing is a common thing, or at least appears to be common lol
Did you ever end up getting that bolt out? Or did you have to drop your lower unit? My anode in that same spot is just missing, ordered a replacement and hoping my bolt isn't just kinda stuck in...
Perfect thanks for the replies both, between those two options I should be able to figure something out lol
So I recently had to use my spare tire, and I have lost the long hooked bolt and the nut and any other hardware that mounted it to the trailer. I have a 2016 triton 22trx, and the spare was mounted...
