SWEET NEW RIDE, Very nice-see ya cruisin out fire island inlet!!

was the prior engines v6 omc? if so old props would most likely fit on the new engines. this will give you a starting point. I would think 14.5 x 19 would be the right setup. i had a 25 hydrasport deep v with a pair of 175 jonnies, the 14.5 x 19 wheels were the right match. I do have a set of...

If it does not turn on, check the fuse on the 12 volt side.

I did not use the cabin rod racks capt bill organized a few years back, I have them if anyone is interested. ckjr

I have my lower unit off for a water pump change, looked up as far as i could see and saw all black. Hopefully all is ok. I took some photos but cant seem to upload to the post??

I have always used ring free, I just started using startron after this incident. I will check with my town, Thanks to all CKJR

i also had racors and that didnt help since the fuel flowing was mostly the water/ethanol mix, filled the racors and made its way to the motor

phase separation occurs when ethonol in the gasoline separates and falls to the bottom of the tank as water/alcohol and the gas floats on top. I was reading up on it and it takes 3 tablespoons of water per gallon depending on certain conditions to cause this (ethonol is alcohol which is water...

Added 36 gallons to main tank last week, started engines this week and the dreaded phase separation happened!! must have picked up moisture on last fillup. This killed my low pressure pumps on the f225. My question, this winter i will pump out the main tank. Can the upper gasoline part be...

My 98 sailfish (same hull) with 225 4strokes moves the boat nicely. you can cruise in the mid 20knot range (3600-3800 rpm) or bump the throttle to 4200 rpm and be at 30 knots, 1.6 to 1.7 statute miles per gallon, any higher the fuel economy drops off to 1.5 smpg and less, wot 42 knots +-

just saw the email Jeff, Great site, Just sent in a donation, CKJR

My simrad CP33 is not working and with my conversations with tech support, this unit is no longer serviced. Looks like i will be in the market for a 5" gps/chartplotter for my sailfish. any suggestions??

I will be doing the inshore part of this tourney - charlie tuna-

are the lights on the panel lit? if not there is a fuse in the panel. I had trouble with mine-would blow fuse-motor was frozen. didnt want to spend the huge cost of replacement thru groco. ended up removing the motor and having a local electrical motor shop disassemble ,clean up and lube up. so...

The sending unit for the tank is probably bad. when both fuel valves are switched to aux, both engines pull off the 50 gal auxilary, when both are on main, both pull from the 150 gal main. I like to fill my main tank up 150 gal) and run off this using my total fuel burn on the flowscan to...

i removed the arm rests from the seats-makes it easier to pass by the helm.

I had 19"s and turned 54-5500, Dropped to saltwater series 17m 17" props and turn about 5900 to 6000. Was not happy with the mid range bite especially in a sloppy ocean, I tried a pair of the merc 4 blade 17" turning wot 5900 to 6000 and i find overall bite and performance good. If you should...

I had the 19" on my setup and could only max out at 5500 rpm"s. this was too low I was told so I switched to a pair of merc 17" 4 blade props and max out 5900 to 6000. I find the bite of the 4 wheels good especially at lower rpm and in rougher seas. i cruise at 3700 rpm, burn 14gph and cruise at...

There is a set up routine, if i remember correctly, take the boat out in an open area, ho starboard, turn hard starboard and press set, the response will be to turn hard port, also press set key, then will say center, press set key, unit will then go thru a self check turning side to side, then...
