I went to another dealer and told him what it is doing and what I have done. He said that everything I have done is what they would do and the next step they would do is clean the injectors. After...

Do we have O2 sensors in our fuel injection management system like cars? If so do they cause this type of problem? I'm just willing to try anything, my goal is to get the grandkids out fishing before...

Thanks again for the help Don. I didn't want to leave the boat at a shop, the service dept. told me it would be two weeks before they could look at it. But I may not have a choice. I would not have a...

Thanks for the info, results are 5 psi lift / 42-43 psi hi pressure at vst schrader valve. The pressure never changed even when the engine stumbled. I now do not think the problem is in the fuel...

Thanks for the reply, I did check 5 separate qts of fuel from the first filter fill hose and drained the VST a couple of times and found no water at all in any of the samples? I am going to get a...

I went to a dealership and talked with a mechanic today, his opinion was that there is water in the system from sitting for 9 months, and I should drain the tank and the VST leaving the plug out...

It looks like the port side spring still has some arch in it but the starboard side has flattened out making the spring a little longer being attached solidly in the front and with the spring shackle...

Gatorglenn, you were correct on the 0 degree rake prop not cutting through the weeds. The solas 9-1/4" X 8 prop came in and after the install and test run my buddy is very happy with the new prop....

Just a quick update, we took the boat out with a clean prop and ran 7 mph at 6000 rpm, with a few weeds in the hub on the way back in the rpms would jump up to 6500 and it felt like the hub in the...

Thanks for the replies.

Yes this is the prop his motor came with, Mercury describes the prop as high thrust in forward and reverse. We are fishing tomorrow the first thing we plan on doing is make a few passes in the speed...

I was thinking about making something like the ninja blade that would attach to the two bolts that hold the seal plate around the prop shaft, I was thinking a cutter or a collar to cover the small...

Yes this motor came with the high thrust 10"X 7 silver 0 degree rake prop, this is the same motor prop combination we see on a lot of the pontoon boats on this lake.

Yes most of the weeds come off the front of the prop after reverse. The weeds seem to wrap around the front of the prop and then work inside the prop hub until it packs almost solid, the only way I...

Mercury 9.9 Prokicker prop hub clogging with lake weeds?
My buddy has a 2017 Tracker 170 with a 9.9 ProKicker with the 4 blade prop. He mainly fishes a 10 hp lake with mostly no wake...

My buddy has a 2017 Tracker 170 with a 9.9 ProKicker with the 4 blade prop. He mainly fishes a 10 hp lake with mostly no wake zones, this year the lake weeds and alge are very bad as soon as we start...

Thanks for the the information. I will try the second hole.

I have a 2014 175 TXW with a 60. It is mounted in the top hole, I am not getting the speeds other people are getting only around 31 with two and loaded.
I have two bolts out because I'm making a...

I sent a PM through this forum, Rich responded the same day. I called back and ordered the Power-pole micro, and it came yesterday. No problem Rich is a good guy to deal with.

Yes, but we did not do very good. One 2lb bass, a crappie, and one walleye. The water was high, very dirty, and the 22 mph winds did not help much. There were lots of people fishing, talked with a...

We are fishing Berlin on Friday, has anyone been there lately, did you do any good?
Thanks Frank

I retired in 2001 at 48 years old.

Roy, I think you do a very good job. You add a lot of good information and support to this forum. You spend a lot of your time on this forum helping others and that is appreciated. It would be easier...
