Crap, thats what I was afraid of. I already have a 12" Simrad on a RAM mount by my console but I want something in my dash I can network to my front Helix 9 so I can mark spots while driving and...
Currently I have a Helix 7 in my dash. I have a Helix 9 on the bow. I have put the Helix 9 in front of my dash and measured it and can not figure out how it will fit. I know it is an option so it...
Thank You, I do watch the water pressure. I will make sure to keep it at 15psi or more. I had no idea the height had to do with how squirely it got. I'm curious how it rides now that I am up to...
When you say raise the motor if it is dancing around at high speeds, do you mean vertically with the jack plate or with the trim. Mine has that issue but not right until I get to about 60. I have...
I have not had a calm enough day yet to truly run mine all out yet. So far with the Tempest 23 pitch I have gotten it up to about 55mph at 5200 RPM but still had a ways to go just not enough water...
I crappie fish a good bit and fish some long rods and a good bit of spinning rods with bigger eyes. Those did not work at all in the tubes so I pulled the tubes out right away. It's not as nice and...
Good Idea, I might give that a try. I can lift the front up pretty high and get the water past the fittings without submerging anything important and see if I have any leakage. It would not...
I wanted to circle back and give a first pass update. I took the boat for a run after getting the Tempest Plus. I did not run it all out, it was a little choppy but I was able to run it up to about...
If you happen to want to go cheap and stay with a Powertech, I just happen to have a nice new one., just let me know.. As far as the other props, I tried to find an FXP, TXP, and SHO prop in a 23...
Thanks to this forum, that was actually the first thing I did before it even went to the water. Everyone said their finish work was not so great and you are all spot on. I checked every clamp and...
Thats interesting. Mine leaks more water than I feel like it should be a new boat. It does not leak tons, don't get me wrong but more than I expected. I do notice the plug will not go up...
Thanks, thats a great idea. I have not worn sandals yet but normally do and was thinking that looks uncomfortable. I'm also thinking about putting some hydroturf or something on the pedal since I...
Glad nothing too bad happened and you figured it out pretty quick. I put the plug in the wrong hole the other day, I stepped back to do something else and for some reason my mind told me something...
Thanks again for all your help. Tuesday I will be placing an order.
Thanks, that's exactly the info I was looking for. I love having access to other owners experience on this board. Props are one of those things you feel like you roll the dice every time you order...
I thought I was done with my prop search. I had decided based on other members on here the FXP was a very good choice. I decided that was the route for me to roll the dice with. Well that's not...
Thanks for all the advice. Especially the hotfoot advice. I've had several boats but the 2 things I have not had is a hotfoot and a manual jack plate. I think the height is going to turn out just...
Thanks and you are right, I was trying to figure out how I am going to sit comfortably and have my foot almost pointed straight up when at idle. It is down right miserable. I will keep the hook on...
Any advice on the hot foot? Do you leave the hook on that goes over the top of your foot or remove it? It seems very uncomfortable with it on but maybe it is something I could live with. My gut...
Thanks, I did go out and I was able to get a flat steel fish to go through. It has a 90 degree bend in it at the back but like you said, it went through pretty easy. Hopefully pulling the wire will...
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate the confidence with the plug on the outside, I am a firm believer of keeping a spare so that I will have. I'm sure in a panic and especially winter, I can find...
Hello,
I went and picked up my new X-19 Pro this weekend. I have it rigged with a 175 SHO and the Pro comes with the 10" manual jack plate and hotfoot with blinker trim.
I have read a lot...
Please tell me how it goes. I know they come up up to 10's but I have no idea how much work it is to remove a 7 and put in a 10. I question if you have to cut the dash. I hate tearing up a dash.

Thanks
