So I have a 17 foot 92 Astro. wood transom and i know water has gotten into it. I ended up using 3/8" aluminum plate on both the inside and outside. I covered as much area as possible. i believe the...
So I ordered the Victron 500 A IP65 Smart Shunt. More than i wanted to spend but I figured I'm investing in lithium's so might as well do everything right. A dead battery can ruin a day of fishing...
Thanks this looks to be better than I was looking for.
Upgrading to lithium's for my TM and I'm looking for recommendations on a meter/monitor specifically for lithium's. Mostly just want to know the percentage of battery discharged so I can conserve...
Keep us posted if you do make the switch, I'm very curious how fast that boat will go
my god that boat will fly. I have a 92 17SCX it has the 135 with a 6 in jackplate and talon and it's holding fine. But I also did add extra support. I put 3/8" aluminum plate on the inside(24x8) and...
I %100 regret not going with 24oz. Don't get me wrong mine is still holding up very well, but when I see a boat with 24oz I can see the difference and wish I didn't cheap out. and I don't think you...
Normally I stick with OEM parts, but in this case there is a substantial price difference....which is now causing me head aches.
But you raise a good point, eat the cost, only buy OEM and Just...
Hey Guys Looking for some help/advice on coils for my 1992 Blackmax 135hp (serial number OD263276)
Long Story Short I found out I need to replace at least one coil and Since I’m replacing one the...
I'm not really familiar with that motor, But on my 92' blackmax I had the same issue. You should be able to adjust the trim sensor right at the motor, for its just a dial. Remove it, trim all the way...
I have a 1992 17 foot Astro 17scx with a 135hp Merc on it. I had a hard time getting on plane with a high five 21P prop. I'm now running a 4 blade 19p prop (stainless Steel) and that helped alot. If...
I know its not the question you asked and I know its more expensive but I switched Rack and Pinion to a hydraulic system on my 92 astro and what a difference. Especially if you cruise around scanning...
I have a 92 Astra 17SCX - really check for wood rot, floor and transom. But love the boat so much I've considered upgrading to a bigger Astro.
I have a 1992 astro I switch to the motor mate and started to notice some hair line cracks, so now I actually use both at the same time. I modified the transom saver fit with the motor mate...
I’ve been trying to find the right prop, I’m looking to maintain a good hole shot and just lower my RPM a little
I have 92 Astro 17SCX (She’s heavy) with a 135HP Blackmax.(no jackplate)(and not...
I have a 92 Astro 17SCX and when i replaced the carpet and added padding I put in new Perko latches....
You can get a sample from bass boat seats. I ended up buying from with http://boatcarpetrim.com/ found it easier to work with on corners. The hotter it is the more flexible it is. It also has a...
X2 on the marine Tex. I had the same issue with my astro. And while you are at it fix and gouges you may have on the bottom of the hull
Thanks Rip Bass, and thanks for the advice with the rolling pin. Can't wait to see my wife's face when i tell her what i'm using it for.
Another question, Do you cut the carpet edges once it's in...
I'm in the process of re-carpeting a 92 Astro. For the lids I used contact cement to adhere the carpet to the carpet padding (works perfectly). But these are small pieces and are easy to work with. ...
Guys,
Thanks for all your answers, The more i read about these boats the more I love them
I have the catalog from that year, and the layout looks the same, so you would think the rod locker would be the same. But i don't want to make any assumptions
The Tr-176 and Explorer 17 ( Same...
Hey Guys
