Just a thought if you can’t find the Curado drag star.
Consider getting the Core 50 drag star. It’s a weird color that matches that reel well. You would need some additional parts to make it work...

Good seller. Buy with confidence. I received the two Curado BSF's and they were in excellent condition.

Seller asked if I could post a few pictures of the remaining reels for sale.

Left or Right handed?

I wish. 1999 Stratos 21SS is rated for a max HP of 245 HP. The couple of dealers I inquired with wouldn’t install a 250.

For what its worth - I have a 1999 Stratos 21SS and I just put a 2018 225 SHO on it. The back end does sit a little lower but I haven't experienced any issues. I don't think I would want to add power...

Thanks Jeff for the detailed explanation. I will give that a try.

Hi Guys

I'm getting ready to install the water pressure sensor on my SHO so that I can get the pressure reading on my command link and perhaps my Lowrance unit.

I received the sensor kit...

FWIW - I just repowered my 1999 Stratos SS with a 225 Yamaha SHO. With a 23P T2 Prop 6" JP I'm at 68 MPH at 5800 RPMS. On a good day with my 225 Evinrude Ficht I could get 72-73 MPH

Hi Guys

Got the boat out this past weekend for the first time this season and was able to run the new prop. I ordered the water pressure sensor but it won't be here until next week. With the 23P...

I guess I should think about getting the water sensor kit. I don't have the a water pressure gauge but I think I can add the sensor and get the readings on my digital multi function gauges.

I received my new Yamaha T2 23 Pitch last week and I was able take it for a test run. Unfortunately it was a 37 degree day with 10-15 MPH wind and 36 degree water temp. I was able to hit 6K RPMS...

I changed the oil and filter the other day and raised the engine about an inch. I broke the weld on the adjusting nut on the jackplate so I had to bring it to a shop and have it welded. There are 4...

Thanks Limitfish. It is making some oil. I just ordered the oil change kit and am looking in to getting a new prop and raising the engine.

I had a chance to measure prop to pad and the measurement is 4 inches.

Should I try a different prop and raise the engine up?

You're right. I will measure the PTP this weekend.

I am running a Agm battery.

I do have a video but not sure how to upload it.

I made an appointment to bring it in to the dealer.

Hi Guys. New Yamaha SHO owner here. I currently have 15 hours on my new engine. I recently noticed that when I start the engine there is a quick spike in RPM's almost like a brief surge. RPMS shoot...

I brought it back to the dealer and they checked everything out and said everything was fine. The only thing they could come up with is that possibly during installation a positive and negative may...

Thanks for the reply Larry. Can not put the positive side of a voltage meter on the ground wire and see if I have current while cranking the engine with the kill switch off? If there was power going...

An update on my post. I brought the boat back to the dealer that did the engine install and they couldn't find anything wrong. They believe its possible that a positive and negative could have...

Thanks guys for all the replies. I am going to drop the boat off at the dealer this week. I will let you know what I find out.

I don't think it was like that when I picked it up. I've only had it out 3 of 4 times to break it in and only have 4 hours on it so far. I'm going to check with the dealer.

thanks for the reply but the insulation definitely melted some how.

Im not sure exactly what this wire is on the lower unit. Looks like a ground wire. Does anyone know what would cause the insulation to melt?
Engine has 4 hours on it.
Thanks
