Us saltwater guys replace all of the engine anodes at least every other year. You should have one on your swivel bracket, a small pair just above the cavitation plate and the flush pancake one under...
Don, My 250 racing Opti (1E000861) has always seemed to have an occassional low speed in-gear miss since zero hours but always ran strong and smooth. Now at 400 hours the miss seems to be getting...
Great call as usual Don. It was the yellow wire to the MAP sensor. It was chaffed and grounding against the block.
Appreciate your experienced insight!
Don, nothing is "off the wall". I very much appreciated the way you approach issues. That's why I asked!
Thanks for providing a starting point to begin trouble shooting. I'll check the stuff I...
Don- I'd like to tap into your vast experience. My Optimax 250XS suffered a MAP sensor failure at 102 hours. It ruined a multi day fishing trip. Dealer replaced it under warranty and did the 100 hour...
The warranty on my 250 XS expires 8/2011. By 9/2011 it will be sporting some added Hydro Tec muscle.

I did the Phase ll on my 175 HPDI and was very happy with the results.
Sweet! Been anxious to see this beast
Can you throw up a side-by-side shot with a stock Merc tuner to show the contrast???
I'm game as soon as my warranty expires. I saw first hand what you...
I'm wondering if he has the harness in place that runs between the fuel sending unit and the motor?

It should have come with a cling on decal with detailed break-in instructions.

I finally got around to installing the LU plugs I bought from Don. It is a very easy DIY that sounds more complicated than it actually is. The biggest challenge was finding a 1/16" NPT tap. Once it...
I made the same engine switch a month ago.

If it were me... I would call Hydro Tec and discuss my options. They are honest and truthful in suggesting mods. Give it a try.
