Thanks, I don't think it was that much water. I know some water washes in the control cable hole. The previous owner cut it to add more accessories and its gaping open.

The holeshot was about 7-8 seconds with the RX4 25P, maybe I need to drill 4 more vent holes like the guy mentioned on page 1. It ran 5400 at 59.5mph.
With my water PSI at 31, I would think I...
My water PSI is over 30 on my 1996 Evinrude Vindicator when I am 3" Prop to Pad on the Jackplate. Could my new gauge be off??
It has a new water impeller so I trust it's running strong. I've...
BigBass, did you ever get your RPMs up over 5300. Have the prop reworked? If you water pressure remained above 18 psi or whatever your motor likes, I would go up another 1/4. I've heard that the 4...
In case anyone wants an update, and it might be helpful to someone. Last Spring I went through 2 more diaphragm fuel pumps. Called a trusted mechanic that I've know for 20 years who suggested a Mr...
I installed the EMP double stack last week. And this week I am installing a power pack. The wires going to the coils looks straight forward, and hoping the others in the box are obvious.
Thanks for the info. I'm not sure which way to go. I'm not against mixing my own oil like 2 local mechanics suggested, but buying OEM (now Bombardier) seems safe and simpler to change at home. ...
It looks like I need a new pump on my 200 Vindicator too, had the same experience of Lunkersmith. My local mechanic recommends I go to the fuel pump only and mix my own oil, but should I really do...
This winter I bought to a 1991 201 Pro with a 1996 200 Vindicator. In the winter with 50 degree weather I tried 2 props. 24 Raker that ran 67 mph, but RPMs were 6200, so I want to try a 26 Raker one...
I am replacing my Water Pressure gauge and wondering can I attach the fitting on Starboard or Port side? I think I see the option on both sides...
The Starboard side has an old plastic fitting...
Thanks ChampioMan!
And after using the carbon cleaner, all my pistons are between 110 and 105 compression! I reached 68.5 mph too.
i’m going to try another 24 inch Raker and 27 inch four blade...
Mine was so difficult that I drilled a half inch hole to get the wheel puller to get a good bite on the bottom of the wheel finally popped off! Hope that helps someone else. I tried every method I...
I am convince carbon build up is another reason for aggravating starts, the bottom pistons are the worse for it. After spraying detuner in the carbs and a few squirts thru the spark plug holes (they...
I've run the Stratos 201 Pro twice now and if says 67.5 mph. Looking at the BBC numbers, I think that is about average for this boat with a 200 hp when its set up right, but a local mechanic said...
I have 1996 200 Vindicator. Compression is 120-110 on most, then on #5 its 110 and #6 is 95. How do I decarb piston #6?
Do I spray in the spark plug holes or thru carbs?
I am the new owner of 1991 201 Pro Stratos with a 1996 200hp Vindicator, model E200STLEDM. It needs a good deal of TLC, which it will get over time. Before I bought it, I test drove the boat, and it...
1992 276 Pro Tournament with 1998 Johnson 150 FastStrike. 4" Jackplate, 24 Raker prop. Fifteen yrs ago had prop cupped and might have lost a little top end, but great hole shot. I've ran up to...
My new Garmin 93sv unit shows a pic of the Ferrite clip with the cable looped thru it one time on the GT54 transducer cable near the unit's connection. It seems heavy but I assume it will be fine...
Well, I installed the fitting on the right side cylinder head. Because when I pulled the plug on the left head the water only dribble out. Should that concern me??
Why would the port side shoot...
Want to make sure I am installing this water pressure gauge correctly. On the FastStrike 150 I see both cylinder heads have a brass fitting plug, one on the right and the left. I understand that is...
