Running a 22 SHO prop. Tried 21 and 23 tempest but 22 gave best hole shot.
I get similar speeds with my 618 and 175 SHO in the AZ desert. 64 before poles/lithiums and 60-62 fully loaded with poles/lithiums. I need pretty flat water when I hit 60 or it starts to chine. My...
I get similar numbers with my 175 SHO and 22 SHO prop. Couldn't agree more with the hydraulic jack plate!
I have a 2016 618 with 175 SHO. I love the boat, great ride, smooth and has plenty of room. Couple negatives, one the 618's are narrow in the front compared to other brands. Phx solved this by...
Drop down to a 22p and get a Bailey HydroFoil. The hydrofoil will keep the nose down during your hole shot. If you can afford it, switch to lithiums. That will lighten your load quite a bit in the...
I had holeshot issues when loaded down with my 618. I'm running the 175 SHO. I added a hydrofoil and it made a huge difference. These 18ft boats just don't have enough weight up front. The hydrofoil...
Didn't know that! If it's just the heading sensor do you know if you could use the Point-1 instead? I already have a point-1 and could have saved some mounting time!
Yes, but I might try doing both calibrations again just to see if it improves the anchor mode.
Was able to try out my new Ghost trolling motor this past weekend and was quite impressed however there was a couple of times when the anchor mode would take off and swing the boat in a circle just...
Was dead set on purchasing this power pole light until I read the reviews on Tackle Warehouse. Every review said theirs went bad within a year. Any feedback from guys here? Are they really that bad?
Trying to lighten up my 618 to improve holeshot. Planning on moving to two lithium batteries for the trolling motor which will save me 61 lbs and after finding out that my dual pro charger weighs...
I have the same issue with my 175 SHO on a 18ft Phoenix with dual poles. I recently dropped down to a 21 Turbo TXP from the 22 SHO prop. Was hoping the smaller pitch and vents would help. It did help...
I have the same setup. When my boat was on order they had a 24p that was on back order so I was running a 23p 3blade. It wasn't exactly blazing trails with the 23p so I called Phoenix and they said...
Nice looking rig! I have the same setup but with dual power poles. What prop are you running? I'm running a 22 SHO prop. I also cranked my jack plate as high as it could go. I'm sitting at around...
Do the decals have the cowling polyflake on them? I replaced my decals with a set from Garzon Studio and that was the only thing I didn't like about them was they didn't have the polyflake like the...
Does mounting hardware come with the Phoenix Trailer Logo?
I feel your pain. My 175 SHO is at 60 hrs and still making oil. I haven't tried the 1+ hours of running WOT yet so I guess that's what I'll do next.
I think 3.8 is too low. I have the 175 SHO and mine came from the factory at 3.5. I raised it and now I'm around 2.75. I was using a different prop (23 4 blade) when it was at 3.5. I raised the motor...
3 blade.
I would say drop down to a 22p. I have a 618 with 175 SHO and run a 22p. I went from a 4-blade 23p at 3.5 ptp to the SHO 22p at 2.75 ptp and it made a world of difference in hole shot and top end....
I got dual 8's on my 618. I didn't want the weight of the talons and the 10's looks odd to me because of the length they stick up. I have no complaints with the 8's. This spring I have found times...
I used acetone on my butt seat and it took it right off but it did lighten the section a little. Then I read on the Phoenix FB page that somebody used gasoline to wipe them off. Haven't had the time...
It is factory installed. I'll look in the dash, thanks guys!
I have a NEMA network with a Yamaha engine interface cable running to my Lowrance unit at the console of my 618. I bought a Fuel Data Manager sensor that plugs into the NEMA backbone which will give...
