I can say I have been very happy with my "underpowered boat". I guess I would like a better definition of what "underpowered" is? If it is pure top end, then yes I will agree that a 150hp is not a...

I can say I have been very happy with my "underpowered boat". I guess I would like a better definition of what "underpowered" is? If it is pure top end, then yes I will agree that a 150hp is not a...
This is correct. When I purchased my 518 new in 2017 the z185 was just released, it has the same hull but different top cap and overall fit and finish uses cheaper materials along with the trailer...
This is what I have been using since 2017 without any issues. I think I replaced the o-ring once just because, not for any reason.
I went to my local Walmart, and they had the squeeze tubes of the XPS High Performance gear case oil, I was pleasantly surprised. I am not crazy about the tubes, so I just squeeze them into one of...
Is there another suitable gear case oil (g2) if there isn’t any HPF readily available? Looking for something possibly local that I can use and no I am not looking for anything cheap.
I don't have the same motor but I have played around with PTP a fair amount and I have found that 3 1/4" gives a good balance of hole shot and top end. Do you know where you are currently at with...
He has ordered a Powertech in a 21p. Thank you for your help.
A friend of mine just picked one these boats up used. It has a Mercury 115 optimax and it came with a 15p prop which overrevs by a bunch (not surprised). Anyone have any recommendations on what a...
I don't fish in hydrilla, but I do spend a lot of time in thick milfoil on Lake Champlain and I have used the Ninja grass blade for years with excellent results. I won't run a trolling motor without...
I have a 2017 with a G2 and it has been a great engine. Hole shot is always good regardless of weight, almost instant with just one person in the boat, it will run 60 light in ideal conditions and...
Thayers in Norwich CT has probably sold as many or more Evinrudes than anyone on the east coast in the last 10 years. I don't see how they would ever be able to stop working on them just based on...
Is it a ticking noise or more of a knocking sound? I had this exact motor on a Ranger I had and the injectors do make a ticking sound when running but you certainly would not hear it once the boat...
So the battery checked good on a garage tester. I cleaned up all the connections and will try it again. I did cold store the boat last year for the first time and I did not pull the battery so...
I have a question regarding my starting battery, the boat is in my signature. I purchased an x2 Power battery back in 2017 and I think it is on its way out. I will have a garage test it but when I...
I was fortunate to find XD100 at my local Walmart. It was marked for $49.98 and I bought the two gallons that they had left. I would have bought every gallon they had if they had more, does not...
One final update. New sensor came in and gauge reads as it should and no alarms. Fished a tournament yesterday and did a lot of running on a river system and everything ran great. Fingers crossed...

So I have more to add to this story. Went out fishing yesterday and water pressure was still stuck on 48 but I knew everything else was working fine. Going up a river and felt a weird surge like I...
Took my boat out for the first time yesterday and the water pressure gauge on the Icon was stuck at 49-50. It would read this before water even started pissing out of the back, one time I started...
I got the 201 code on the start of my second year of ownership, water temp was only in the low 40's but not sure that means anything, only mentioning because of your December issues. In my case it...
This was from my 98 Ranger 518DVS with a Johnson 175 FICHT and it looked nothing like what you have in the picture. I don't think you have a FICHT.

I had a 1998 518DVS and when I got in rough water it had a fairly harsh ride. I would trim down a bit to get the nose to push into the waves otherwise it would slap pretty hard. I would think the...
If I was ordering a boat today and the price is accurate then it would be the 519 Cup, I think that is a good price for what you get. Lets face it they are all over priced these days.
If you are saying your boat and $8500 then I would have that 519 in my yard right now.
I was able to get 2.28 downloaded into my unit. I am in the process of doing the base map although I don’t think I need it. Great advice on connecting the mega si transducer direct. If the update...
