Ok, had motor in up trim/tilt position. Motor starts fine, but it will not trim from any of the switches. If i loosen the white...
I have a 2075 Pro V Bass XS but here is my opinion.
1. I've watch a lot of videos on the interior but none show the access to livewell and bilge pumps. How easy is it to get to all of that stuff...

I have a 24P trophy prop that I used for a spare on my 1999 Optimax. Can I just get a new hub kit for it so that I can use it as a...
Ok, Brand new boat with brand new Ultrex 112/MDI/IP Link. Took it out for the very first time. After fishing for a bit, we ran the big motor at mid range speeds and noticed water spraying off the...
I have a 1999 merc 225HP Optimax #OG945095
It has started to run very rough at idle. Any rpm over idle and it seems fine.
If I try to let it idle it usually stalls. I get no warning buzzes or...
What about the livewell? It looks like it could be small for 2 people with 5 fish each. I haven't seen one in person though.
Thanks, that's great information. My current boat measured touching the front side of the pedestal is only 56.5" so it would actually be a little bit of improvement for me.
For those that have a Lund Pro V bass boat, I was wondering if they knew what the front deck width is at the front seat pedestal. I'm just trying to compare it to what I currently have. Thanks.
I looked at the manual for the minnkota 330pc chargers (which are reccommended) and they also use 14.4 V (same as Noco) for absorption. They show 13.4 float voltage. Unless I'm looking at something...
It is the original Dual Pro from when I bought the boat new in 2000. It is a little beat up, not that that really means anything. But With the charger plugged in I checked the voltage at 12.64 V. If...
After I charge with the dual prop (it is 15 amps per bank) and then wait a few or more hours it shows 12.35 volts. Then after I plug in the portable charger till it shows charged (which I think is...
hmmm... Thanks for trhe info. I'm still using the original on-board charger, which is a Dual-pro 3 bank charger. I was suspicious that it wasn't charging it to 100%, so after it showed charged I...
I have a Sears PM-1 battery that is about 1 year old. How many volts should it have when fully charged and nothing connected to it?
When I check it with a multimeter it shows 12.47 Volts. It does...
Hi,
I have a 1999 merc Optimax #OG945095
The motor has been running fine all season so far. I was on the lake and had no issues for most of the day. Went to start the motor to move to a new spot...
My 2000 tr 21 has em on side. Bought April of 2000.
Hey Don. I finally have a report back. Looks like it was the low pressure fuel pump. Mechanic was finally able to repeat the problem on the water and replaced it. I ran the boat today and so far...
thanks Don. I beleive every was done as described. I am taking it in to the mechanic today so I will discuss that with him also. Possibly he can go through and verify everything also. Thanks again...
Here is a follow up. I changed battery to the diehard platinum recommended by many and it seems to be functioning ad it should. I ran it Saturday and made sure I squeezed the primer bulb before each...
Savage, I rebuilt the pulse fuel pump also when I replaced all the fule lines.
Hey Don (or anyone),
I have a 1999 merc Optimax #OG945095
I'll try to get right to the details... I was having problems last years with motor. Would turn key and motor would crank but not start....
I have a 6" bobs hydraulic plate now. U think I could just add 2" spacers for the 8" set back?
Never said it was not. The coast guard plate clearly shows RATED FOR OUTBOARD MOTORS UP TO 250 HP
Thanks, guys, and yes, it is rated for 250.
Hey, considering a repower on my 2000 TR21. Possibly with a 250 ProXS. Anyone with a similar vintage Triton running with this motor? Any good or bad scenarios with this combo? Prop suggestions? I...
