I have a 2019 150ProXS 4 stroke. It has been hard to shift into neutral since I have had it (51 hours). However, the last tournament I fished, I had to turn off the engine before I could shift...

My 150 ProXS does the same. It idles rough at times but is smooth at fast idle and beyond. I think that the 3 cylinders may have something to do with it at idle speed.

I installed AshmoreMarine's wedge and it works great with my Ultrex. This weekend I fished up to 45' and my dropshot was in the cone for all depths even when the Ultrex was in spot lock and the head...

I notice a lot of vibration when idling. It is very noticeable on my electronics looking at side imaging - jerky images. I can feel the vibration through the steering wheel. The boat is nearing...

I have a 2008 250hp Mercury Pro XS motor. It seems to idle ok and seems to run WOT ok - 5700 rpm. However, when I go to a fast idle it sputters -- almost like a cylinder misses sometimes.

I love the RAM mount -- bot at the bow and console. My SI transducer is mounted on my jack plate. Zoom in on the photo to see.

What kind of storage box dividers/boxes have you guys come up with for the large front storage area?

Changing from the Champion BB to the Triton BB. Here are some pic's.

The residual value of the 202 was around $5300. Pretty good for a totalled boat!

Well, insurance totalled the Champion.

Good news: I had agreed upon value and I am getting a hefty check from insurance.

Bad news: I am back with Triton now that Champ is gone. Couldn't...

Some Marine-tek will fix that minor stuff right up.

Here are some pictures.

Today my buddy and I were headed up to the river at Lake Ray Hubbard (where the PAA tournament was held last weekend). I have been this route hundreds of times, but today I hit a big tree stump,...

I have a '97 202 and I am thinking about putting on a 36 volt trolling motor. The big limiting factor is that I don't have much room in the battery compartment. Right now I have three batteries...

I am 6'3" and a hot foot wouldn't work for me. I can't even stretch my legs out in my 202.

I am 6'3" and there is no way I could use a hot foot on my 202. There is not enough leg room.

I have the same problem with my 97 202. To me it isn't worth all of the effort to put in the new cable/control for the livewell. I simply put in a stopper at the drain exit. This keeps the...

Get the biggest ball you can for your 1197. It is pretty heavy and taking waves will cause it to bounce on smaller balls. Mine is the biggest and when I tighten it down, my 1197 doesn't budge in...

Go to McGuires Direct and get their fiberglass repair kit. It includes de-oxidation, polish and wax bottles. Makes your boat look great.

I mounted mine on the side. Here's a pic.

You should be able to get more speed that what you are getting. I have a 97 202 with a 200 Merc EFI and no jackplate. I ran 65.6 GPS last Tuesday evening in a tournament with 3/4 of a tank of gas...

Get the biggest one. The unit is very heavy. Mine doesn't move once you tighten it right.

I did this with my 202 and it worked like a champ. Did it with minimal expense.

I have a 1197 on my 202. I am using a RAM mount on the side of the console. The transducer is mounted where I get good reception, but it is not so low that it will get broken off by a stump.
