ISO Quantum Exo EX100SPT right hand side plate cover. Long story short, I bought a brand new EXO someone had left over and first time out about the 20th cast the side plate flies off and into the...
how hard can you hit the prop without doing damage to the lower unit?
Anyone have any other tips? I gave up last fall and am still trying to get the prop off. None of the stuff suggested has worked for me thus far.
Does anyone have the specs for size of all the lids on a 2005 Ranger 521vx? Does ranger have a spec sheet you think? I'm wanting to get new lids made for all my compartments. The guy that's making...
2016 250 SHO, powerhead blew at 525 hours for previous owner, replaced under warranty. now at around 560ish.
I have 3 50ah ionics on my ultrex. What speed do you guys run your trolling motor on most time? If I fish a full tourney day my batteries are usually down in the 50-60% range. I’ve had them for 2.5...
I had a similar situation on a TI2, it was too out of warranty. I went back and forth with Lowrance and they replaced it free of charge so it's worth a shot with Lowrance, just have to be persistent.
Just had the same issue with my 2016 sho. Trim was slow and starting to die and then would completely stop working and then work intermittently. Replaced the trim motor and all is good now.
i just did this with a recently purchased used SHO. Ran the yamaha lowrance interface cable and plugged it into my nmea backbone.
Yea i've seen that replacement before, I just went and looked and it seems like the where the shaft enters the steering housing is where I have the most play is. Anyone know if there is a way to...
I bought a used boat that has an ultrex on it. It seems when I go to pull the motor up and stow it that the shaft has a lot of play left to right and won't stow straight, I have to manually make sure...
Found the issue. Fuel line running from the bulb to the motor mounted fuel filter was busted and had a small leak. Replaced that and the bulb and it’s back to running like before. Thanks for all the...
Yea I'm certainly not going to throw parts, I already have the fuel filter and water separator, just haven't replaced them. I just wanted to check all the basics hoping for something simple before...
on other searches here, folks have said the Yamaha sho bulb will never be hard and people never use it. I never used it the previous 3 times I took it out and it would fire right up. I changed the...
New to me boat. 2016 Yamaha 250 SHO. New Yamaha powerhead 25 hours ago. I was out today for the 3rd time with this motor. I was cruising around 3900 RPMs and the motor cut off like someone pulled the...
Are you hitting the prop blades farther into the prop shaft or are you hitting from the other side trying to drive it off the prop shaft?
Thanks I'll give it a try.
Thanks. That video shows the installation, I can't get my prop off the prop shaft. Are you saying beat on each blade while still on prop shaft?
I just purchased a new to me boat with a 2016 250 SHO. I went to take the prop off to check for line and regrease the shaft but I can’t get the prop to budge. Anyone have any tips? I’ve tried using...
Thanks, I've seen Ranger Mike's work and it looks good. Just wondering if anyone on here had any done by him and how they like them vs the original fiberglass. Looks like I'll reach out to him soon,...
My 2005 has a lot of soft lids. I'm looking at replacing them. Does anyone know if ranger still makes lids for a boat this old? Or has anyone had someone make them new lids out of aluminum? Pros and...
I just purchased a boat with a 250 SHO on it. I'm wanting to add some type of digital gauge to read hours/temp/etc. What is the easiest/most affordable way to accomplish this. I have a HDS Gen 3 so I...
When I had this issue, it would die 3 or 4 times on the first cranks of the day getting it off the trailer, then once it was running it ran and idled fine. Could fish all day and not have the issue...
I had this same issue, ended up being a torn tracker valve.
