    boarding ladder on xb2003

    Any suggestions or pics for boarding ladders on an xb2003 ProSport? I suffered through last summer with the portable (hook over the side) version and just can't do that anymore. I was thinking about one of those telescoping kind that flip back onto the boat and lay flat, when not in use. I would...

    Hey guys, I need some help hooking up a pyrometer. The pyrometer gauge is a Gaffrig (3") and the thermocouple is a Livorsi. The problem is, I can't tell from the Livorsi instructions which wire is (+) and which one is (-). The two wire colors are red and yellow. I would normally assume that the...

    Pyrometer

    Anyone put a pyrometer gauge in their boat? Livorsi has some good looking gauges and now that I went to manual jackplate gauge, I have an extra opening in the dash. Has anyone mounted one of these rascals on a ProMax 225? Is it very involved where it mounts to the engine? Any mods necessary...

    Mechanical Jack plate indicator

    Has anyone mounted a Stainless Marine jack plate indicator on a different jack plate other than their brand? I ordered their 7" indicator and have a couple of ideas on how to adapt it to my 6" Detwiler. But, before drilling, would like any input if anybody's been here before. Thanks, Scott Mann

    Which Spark Plugs?

    :roll: Hey guys, I just received my ECU back from Rapair. It is a "Mod VP3" curve on a '96 225 ProMax. I forgot to ask Sean what the recomended plugs would be...Anybody know? I assume the same plugs I would run with the A17 (stock ECU) and not the "high dollar" plugs you are supposed to run...

    Rapair ECU question

    Looking for any input with regards to re-mapping the ECU on a stock Merc 225 PM. A while back I was experiencing some over-heating and in an attempt to remediate some of the problem opted to have Rapair remap my stock A-17 ECU to the newer, richer A-32 profile. Since then, I seem to have lost a...

    Lifeline

    I just wanted to take a second to brag on the folks at Lifeline. I received a standard racing jacket for Christmas. Went to the lake several weeks later, did not like the jacket, was too restricting for my driving style. Called Lifeline, and even though a month and a half had elapsed, they...
