I live on Lake Griffin and keep it at my dock. If we could work a way for me to try it I'd sure like that. Where were you going to send it for re-hubbing?

I'd like to see 100 but think I may be asking a lot with an XB03. What rpm gave you 100 and what gear ratio do you have? How much would you want for it with the new hub? I only have a 225 Promax. I dont want to turn it over 7500 and don't know if it will even turn that high with a 30p. Do you...

Hi Derrick. I'd about given up even looking for a reply. I have a 225 ProMax on an XB03. Hadn't considered a 4 blade or a humpback. How would it be different on my rig than a 3 blade regular cleaver? I'm only looking for top end go.

Looking for a 15 x 30 Merc cleaver. 8 or better condition. Small shaft. Please post pics if you have them. You can e-mail me at... schmoyer1@comcast.net

I have the same thing with my tank. xb03 30 gal. Thought it might be the gauge or sender. Called Allison. Here's what I learned. First, they're made that way to insure you a reserve. Can you change it? Possibly. About 97 they changed senders from a float & arm type to a tube type. My tank...

Oh. Not what I was hoping to hear but thanks.

I'd like to put in a mechanical trim gauge. I've looked at a lot of posts and it seems everyone uses the one from Stainless Marine. I've never seen a mention of the one from JSRE. It sure fits my budget better IF it works just as well. Is anyone using the JSRE gauge or know how well it performs?

Good reason. Thank you. I didn't realize that as I've never painted one before.

I'm painting my Sporty on a 225 PM. I read that there are benefits to leaving it in 400 wet sanded primer. I have a nice coat of epoxy primer on it and was going to topcoat it with a much more durable catalyzed urethane silver. Could I sand the topcoat portion below the cavitation plate and get...

As skewby said if you have any doubts feed it premixed until it is all checked out.

Yes you can run for 30 min. at WOT on the small engine mounted oil tank according to the Merc Operation and Maintenance Manual IF the tank is less than full when the alarm went off. If that tank is full it means there's a problem with the oil injection pump. If your engine has EFI the horn...

Does anyone have an idea of the book value for a 1998 2003 with a 22 ProMax and trailer might be. I think I'm under insured but don't really know what to declare.

I have a 2003, 225 Promax, Sportmaster with weld on trim tab, running a SRX 29, CMC hyd. jackplate, 12.5" setback and a Teleflex SeaStar Pro steering with the 2.0 helm. The torque load gets so heavy as the rpm increases that from about 6000 to the limiter I'm actually bumping the pressure relief...

When I run my jackplate up and down at the dock with the engine off it makes a real bad sounding groan,grumble, gurgle racket. Not really a metallic noise but it sure isn't a nice smooth whine like the trim/tilt sound. are they all like that or should I be worried?

Hey George, I've got the stones. I just need seat time and a gps
