Thanks. I will try trimming up a bit.
I have a SHO 250 and when I begin at idle speed and slowly accelerate there is a noise which a mechanic told me might be prop chatter. What is prop chatter and does it matter and can it be prevented?
I have a Skeeter FX 21 with Power Poles. The Power Poles pretty much make it difficult or impossible to use the ladder attached to the jack plate if someone were to fall in. Has anyone ever...
I have an FX-21 Skeeter with a 250 SHO Yamaha motor. I bought it used with Odyssey batteries. I am thinking of replacing them Any comments on kind I should use. I have used Optima batteries in...
Thanks. I generally run on a single tank then switch to the other if necessary. I have spoken to my Skeeter dealer who says he thinks he knows the problem. I am to be in contact after the holidays...
Where do I find the Skeeter boats forum?
Thanks, I did take it to the dealer who replaced the intake tubes in the tanks. I have not tried to look at the gas level in the tanks which I will do the next time I "run out of gas."
I have a 2012 Skeeter FX21 which "runs out of gas" when the gas guage indicates an empty tank but when I go to fill the tank I can only put 17 to 18 gallons in. The tank is supposed to hold 25...
I believe the 250 SHO requires 89 0r greater octane. The HPDI does use 87 octane.
Thanks for your suggestions. I tried all those things at the suggestion of a MinnKota service man. I have 4 batteries and the two systems were completely separate before I ran a ground from the...
I would suggest you call Lowrance when you are in your boat and describe the trouble you are having. They have been helpful to me in "trouble shooting" such problems when I could make changes on the...
I have a Lowrance HDS 10 attached to a Lowrance puck mounted on a MinnKota Fortrex 101 trolling motor. When I step on the switch to use trolling motor the depth finder "blacks out" for about a...
I have finally "fixed" the problem of the porpoising. I sent my prop to Skip"s Propeller Service in North Charleston and had it cupped. That helped but did not "cure" the problem. I then talked to...
To Bandit 53:
Thanks. I have a T-1 prop I used on my HPDI 225 and put it on the boat the other day. It has been cupped but not blue printed. It did seem to help the problem a little. I will...
Thanks.
I have a Skeeter FX21 with 250 SHO motor and 25pitch T1 yamaha prop. I have trouble with the boat porpoising until it gets up to about 40 mph. Would a different prop or cupping the T1 help?
Where did you get 3 degree wedges. The ones pictured above from Bob's are 5 degree wedges. I wonder if you get too much negative trim will it reduce the top end speed significantly?
Pardon my ignorance, but who is Mark Croxton and how do I get in touch with him?
Thanks for the input. I have asked the Skeeter dealer in the area to get the 3 degree wedges. I will also investigate the added cupping to the prop. With the live wells full I had my partner go up...
This is my 3rd Skeeter. The previous one was a ZX225 and I did not have this trouble. I do trim down before slowing down and also keep the boat trimed down with acceleration until I reach a good...
Has anyone had trouble with a Skeeter FX21 porpoising. I have 2 power poles and when there is water in the live wells the boat porpoises until I reach RPMs of about 4000.
