    Took her out for the first time today

    Same here, no spring back . As for the second video, that is exactly what my system acts like. As Andy appears to have the same boat and motor as mine(2012), if the seastar components are the same I still have an issue. I was ready to throw money at it but could never find a definitive problem...

I have had a lot of boats and this one tracked the worst of any i have had . every thing looked leak free...

    Upgrading from Honda 225 to new style fly-by-wire 250

    looks good , I stopped by the slip , sure is shiny and the white cowl makes so much sense over the dark colors. I am jealous of the 2 to 1 final drive, should work really well.

    got it............. spent to long removing the 5200 that Parker? filled the entire lower motor mount slot with and got all the bolts loose and will raise 2 holes today. Is all that 5200 necessary?

    motor hight advice single 4.3l 300 2520 xld

    Yep I get it . Nothing worse than to much prop in the slop. What you describe is how my boat feels now , in 4th gear trying to climb a mountain when it should be in 3rd. I think adding a blade and going down 4 inches in pitch should change things up.

    Lots of good info ..........it's going to take me a bit to digest it , but it looks like we come from the same place info wise :) . Was the solas a 4b ? I have used solas props in the past and thought I got a lot for my money. Do you still have the power tech? Brian is having a hard time getting...

    2520 xld deck hatch replacement

    As Goodchance notes the stock hatch MAYBE belongs on a vertical surface at best and maybe not at all. Mine is clean and in good shape but there just is no way the plastic can put the pressure on the o-ring required to seal properly in the real world. The hatch I linked above looks ok but never...

    motor hight advice single 4.3l 300 2520 xld

    both are good comments....... 1. If changing motor height was as easy as changing a prop I would agree 100% . And no doubt the performance will change w/ proper motor height adjustment , I just don't believe it will be enough to get where I need to be . My understanding , and it could be wrong (...

    motor hight advice single 4.3l 300 2520 xld

    OK and thanks. If I get close to the 2mpg area great but I expect w/ a load and a bunch less pitch I will loose some. That being said, at the speeds I will run most of the time the engine vacuum will be up from now, no doubt, so at slow to midrange planning speeds it may be similar . It's a rare...
