Just wondering where others with a ZX250/ 250 HPDI are running their motor height?? I have quite a bit of steering torque at 2 3/8" below pad. Having a little trouble finding the sweet spot. Running 72.3 loaded with 2 people @ 5600 rpm WOT. I was raising to try and find a few more rpm's and help a little with what bit of chinewalk there is. Correcting at this amount of torque is a little tough. Any thoughts??
I'm thinking there is a problem with your hydraulics if you're feeling any steering torque. The hydraulic system should eliminate ALL the torque. I feel nothing at the wheel, regardless of speed or how hard I'm turning.
I'm at 2.75" below pad, and could probably come up another .25 to .50 inch, based on rpms.
Uh...I guess I should say I "was" at 2.75" below pad. My pad is hanging about that far below the hull now after the stump I wacked at Fork this weekend. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif
I run a 2006 ZX225 W/225 HPDI and have always had more steering torque than was reasonable. They tell me that the steering system needs to be bled. I have enough torque to make it hard to put the boat ina dock stall at idle. I will be taking it to the new dealer in KC to have them take a look real soon!!
