I put a post in the boat restoration section about looking for an upholstery shop that will do the carpet on my 02 518vx. There wasn't much response except for a guy telling me to do it because it's...
I have done them in the past but unfortunately I am not in the greatest of health and am not capable at this time.
Does anyone know an upholstery shop in eastern ma. or ri. that will do a carpet on my Ranger? I bought the correct carpet from Ranger. The floor piece is prebound so it shouldn't be a big deal for a...
I found a covered plug that has 6 fuses in it and low and behold there was one blown. Replaced it and vwala it's fixed. Thank you for your help CatFan..
Everything is so jammed in there it's difficult to see anything. Would it be connected to the reds on the solenoid?
I have a 2002 518vx that has a no start condition from the key but if I jump the starter solenoid yellow/red wire it starts right up. I have checked the fuse box and all the fuses look good. The...
I spoke to Humminbird today and they said it could be sunburn. Possibly an anti glare issue and that they don't work on these models anymore. I am looking for somewhere that can service them.
It works to take away this problem I'm describing? I'm starting to think it's on the inside of the screen.
I had a tracker bass boat before my 02 518 Ranger and I installed a set of Smith Guide posts for the trailer. Is there a set that fits a Ranger trailer? The fenders seem to be where the mounts would...
I've tried about 5 different glass cleaners on them and it doesn't do anything. They are clean and oil free just a strange splotchy cloudy look that is blinding in the sun.
I have a couple of Hummingbird fish finders that are about 3 yrs old that have a strange blotchyness to the screen. It makes funny glares in the sun, it's a little purpley. Is there any way to clean...

OK, I put in one of the large bushings and my son took it out this morning. I think we have a winner, it took 4 seconds and 3600rpm to break over and he did that a couple of three times with no...
I could be a customer. P.M. sent.
My son took it on the lake this afternoon not me and he reports that full throttle resulted in cavitation and 75% throttle worked a few times and it cavitated the other few times. At 1/2 throttle he...
I removed the prop bushings and gave it a run this morning and got 4 seconds to break over at 3600 rpm at 3/4 throttle. At 100% throttle it launched but cavitated almost immediately and flared over...
I took the two plugs out of he prop marked L and will try it again tomorrow. In general is a 4 blade prop better at the lower rpms? and a 3 blade more suited for the top end? Or is it a weight of the...
I redid the test today with two people and the break over was at 3350 rpm and 4 seconds. I took a look at the prop and there are 3 holes punched out of it. There are hollow plastic bushings in 2 of...
Well, I took the boat out this evening and I had 3 people on board and when I left the boat launch I buried the throttle, there was a small lag time and it took 6 seconds and 3300 RPM to break over....
My Tracker was fiberglass and yes it did get up quickly. Does the Tempest plus 25p sound wrong, because I didn't hammer it out of the hole. Maybe I'll try that before doing anything. I'll also check...
I remember years ago having a pontoon boat that had no top end speed and I went through 3 or 4 different props to get the rpms up and it did work out in the end. Some props are expensive though so if...
Hi and thanks for the response. There was two people on board total weight of about 420lbs, two tackle boxes, and about eight fishing rods. The RPMs I'm not sure of at either of the things you asked....
Hi I recently bought a 2002 518 VX and have been putting up various posts in the last month as I'm getting it ready. Well today my son and I took it on the lake for the first time and it ran pretty...
Oh My God, I just looked up the price of that Swivel pin and almost fell out of my chair. There has got to be a more affordable option.$700.00+ for any one part is ridiculous! Looks like I'm putting...
What brand is that swivel shaft? The mercury site gave me a number of 67706A55. Yes I have a couple of threads going, it's a new boat to me and I'm unfamiliar with a lot of things. I am an auto...
