I have 8 dot showing right now... guess I could lower it a tad and see what happens
Problem is, with the SHO outboards, they run best way up high on the Jack plate. And... i am not talking about the trim tab under the cavitation plate but a T H Marine trim or torque tab that affixes...
Do you have a trim tab on your skeg or anything? or is the skeg bent any to compensate torque?
I have a 2012 FX20 and when I am trimmed out, it is like chunkin bricks to turn to the left (port) side! anyone have this problem?
Curious if anyone has tried one of the new Mercury Bravo 1 FS, 4-blades on their SHO? Particularly an FX boat?
I know this is a Ranger:wink: board... but, I would sure like to know what this prop would do on my Skeeter FX20 with 250 SHO.... I currently run the ventless yamaha T1 in a 27P but probably should...

what prop?
Yea, only thing is we live 8 hrs apart... but, that may be what I have to do. Although, I told my son to let him take it to his mechanic and get him to go out in it with him. Maybe a dumb move on my...
yes he does, and he drove it and got it up to 62 but that was with the guy and his friend in the boat...3 guys total. He, for some reason didn't
want to run it with just two of them in it.
LOL.... yea, well I haven't even met the guy so I will hold off on calling him an idiot. And he didn't try to talk me down or anything. So, Maybe he didn't have it trimmed out or the JP to low or...
Ok, need you guys opinions... I have an '07 ZX200 with '13 200 SHO on it that I am selling. I work out of town and had my son take the boat to meet a guy who is interested in buying it. They put it...

Hey Pic,
You ever make a move on a prop?
You cant always go by the number of dots showing on your JP though. Because that one boat may have the motor mounted in the second set of holes (motor to JP) and the next may be mounted in the 3rd...
Yea, that's how I thought it worked. So, the little plunger switches under each lid is what would set the alarm off if a lid was opened when the alarm is activated?
I just bought an FX20 and it has the automatic compartment locks. The guy I purchased it from said it had a security alarm too but, I dont know how to activate it. I locked the compartments with the...
when I say I would take everything off of it, I mean the motor, trolling motor, and electronics.
I would leave the Yamaha controls, Hot foot, 12" slidemaster jack plate, 4-bank battery charger,...
another thing is... the turbo FXP's are smaller diameter than the Vmax ventless props. FXP= 13-3/4" dia. Vmax= 15-1/8" dia. they both are great props. But, IMO the Vmax will carry a load better...
IDK, you should be getting more speed than that turning a 26 at 5900... you may be running your motor too high on the jackplate. Also, are you sure your prop dont have any damage?

07 ZX200, aluminum trailer. I'll take everything off of this one and sell it to ya for $18,000:smile:
