Man I need some help!!!!
Here s my problem and situation.....
I have a 2000 Ranger 520 with a 2002 merc 225X motor.
The motor was supposed to be rebuilt by a dealer in Gunnersville Ala when I bought the rig. The motor lasted about 2 years and lost compression on 2 cylinders.
I had it on a 6 inch jackplate with a throphy 25 inch pitch prop. Boat ran ok.
I had the motor rebuilt again last April. It would never get up on plane after the rebuild. I added a 10 inch jackplate before I got the engine back from the rebuild.
Engine dropped a cyl. as the dealer said they put a sleeve in the motor wrong.
Got the motor back after complete rebuild and new sleeve and it still won t get the boat on plane.
It doesn t seem to have any power at all. The dealer put a new computer and wiring harness also on the rebuild.
This crap is getting old. Ehat could be causing the motor to not get the boat on plane? Would adding a 10 inch jackplate cause this problem? The prop. Shaft ids 3 inchs below the pad of the boat. Any ideas?
