Raise the jack plate setting. 5850-6000 is the target. Would guess based upon load, 70-73 would be a good target.

Little more info. My numbers are 72 deg water temp, 70-80 deg air temps.

Just getting everything squared away on new ZX250. So far absolutely love it. Not bashing Phoenix at all, but left skeeter and went to Phoenix for almost 2 years. For me, just not the same as my...

I found and read the 2018 thread on this topic, but I need more info please.

So I have shared Helix 9s and a 12. I have converted and imported my waypoints onto one unit which then shares the...

Agree!!!! did something very similar... Had owned a Skeeter of some sort for 15+ years. Now in 2018 920/250 SHO w/ Ultrex. Not bashing Skeeter at all...... but.... great move on my part! IF I ever...

Agree with txbass.....

Well said. :beers:

Bustingbass/Drewtick: As far as speed of others and performance I firmly believe there clearly is a wide range of performance among the same exact make/motor setups. I know I am faster than most at...

Agree, don't touch a thing. Is that livewells full or not? Just wondering, either way; clearly don't touch it... Great numbers.

Ultrex, completely agree. Now.... as far as the graph goes, get a 12 at the bow somehow. I have sonar and gps split up top and on the bottom I have downscan from the rear transducer. That is making...

So the dealer figured out that most of my compartment latches were not tight enough. They agreed it was raining inside my compartments with heavy water present. Also there are a variety of designs...

Yeah, concerning the small boxes next to cooler; I don't see a solution to that issue just by virtue of design. I could live with those issues, big boxes not so much. Next Tuesday taking to...

Just follow what the dealer says, which should be. Fully trimmed down for first two hours, fully loaded including livewells. no more than a couple of minutes at any one rpm up to 2500 rpm. Second...

Maybe one of the sources I would agree, will pass that on to dealer for consideration. However.... does not explain a couple of the locations in the other storage box up front. I get that the water...

:smile:
Have about 35 hours on motor now. Honestly not sure if is the cooler weather or motor just loosening up..... Gained almost 4mph and about 125 rpm, literally from one day to the next....
...

Took the tackle organizer out of the front compartment, did not like it. but now recognize that it potentially acted like a funnel for the front pedestal holes.... but I have them both plugged. Not...

Yeah, agree. Not Cane Piles. Cane very thin lines with maybe a bush type look at the top. VERY hard to see on side scan, can only see if you turn sensitivity way up and know exactly what you are...

Thanks guys for the info. My issue was trailering the boat, but none the less; should not be that way. Will see what the dealer comes up with, going to take it back next week.

So.... hit my first good rain storm in my new Phoenix the other day. about 3 miles and 5 minutes of absolute down pour. Really disappointed. Every compartment wet, not just moisture/damp. Had...

same....

Sent you a PM earlier..... Not sure either of your plans is appropriate. Just saying. Not a shallow water fishery. You might can get a days worth of fish shallow in one area. You can fish 10...

As far as buying house on the lake, really depends upon what you want. I live within 10mins of Keowee, 25 mins to hartwell. IF I had to choose..... I really think from a fishing perspective I would...

You wont need the 52 unless you are fishing real big water. The 45 is fine. I thought I would need 52, but I was comparing against my skeeter. On Phoenix it is plenty long enough.

Yeah, something close to that (2.75). Have manual jack plate as high as it will go in the motor mounts that it currently is set up with. may look and see if I have any room left at all. Thanks.

So I tried a 25T2. Summary. Actually slower by myself in the boat vs. with my 26T2. Would turn more RPMs, got the boat a little further out of the water; but in the end slower. Mid range was real...
