I just installed 2 accon cleats on my boat and used 3m blue painters tape using a pilot hole then a 1/4 bit they turned out perfect no chips.
Also clean the area you are attempting to glue with a alcohol pad before gluing
No i do not have a BASS CAT i have a 2006 20 ft NORRIS CRAFT XLD-vee with a 250xs on it. I have been looking at this forum for the past several months and the wealth of information and the comraderie of all the people on this forum is absolutely fantastic. Everyone is very cordial and extremly helpful. I look at it every night. I also like the ideal of the BCB moderator chiming in to help everyone. This is a great forum and i hope everyone will except me even though i do not own a BC. Wish i did though.
MY Mercury 2006 250xs fuel lines were coming apart it was terrible i cut the one that goes from the primer bulb to the motor and i dont see how it even started their was little brittle pieces chocking the fuel flo down from the line seperating and coming apart. Took it to a friend of mine who is an ex Mercury mechanic he cleaned out the whole fuel system and installed all new lines and a new primer bulb and all was good to go. That was two years ago. Todays ethanol fuels will distroy your fuel lines. I use non ethanol fuel only since then. I Add Mercury quickleen & Yamaha ring to every tank.
Good advice REDngoo. A cracked cavitation plate over a $50.00 hydrofoil would be very dissapointing to say the least
4 Bank charger would probably be the way to go. Was on Bass Boat Central and this gentlemen has got what he says is a fairly new 4 bank that came out of his new Legend boat made by NOCO PRO PAK 1V. his number is 1-415-378-2048. He states make me an offer.
This 250xs is the smothest engine i have ever had it runs like a skalded dog and purrs like a kitten. It pushes a 20ft 2006 NORRIS CRAFT. Only had it for about 4 months and still going over it good. Live in Mobile Al, To hot right now to fish so doing some bunk replacement. I always put it in gear briskly. Just changed the lower unit oil again and everything looked good.
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP IT IS GREATLY APPRICIATED. THIS OIL THING HAS WORRIED ME FOR A WHILE. IT HAS BEEN RUNNING THE AMSOIL FOR OVER 116 HRS SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THE BEST I CAN TELL. THE PREVIOUS OWNER LET IT SIT UP FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. I HAD A CERTIFIED MERCURY MECHANIC GO THROUGH IT FROM TOP TO BOTTOM THAT WAS A YEAR AGO AND I HAVE NOT HAD ONE PROBLEMB. EVEN SO MUCH AS A BEEP OUT OF IT. THIS 2006 250XS RACING DIVISION MOTOR SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD RUNNING MOTOR IT PURRS LIKE A KITTEN. LIKE I SAID IT HAS 216 HRS ON IT WOULD THEIR BE ANYTHING ELSE THAT I MIGHT NEED TO DO TO IT AT THIS TIME. I ALSO WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE COMPRESSOR ON IT SO THE MECHANIC TOOK IT APART AND SAID IT LOOKED LIKE NEW SO I DID NOT REPLACE IT. ALSO REPLACED POPPIT VALVE COMPLETE AND ALL OF THE SMALL FILTERS GOING TO THE COMPRESSOR. AND ALL NEW SEALS IN THE SPORTMASTER GEAR CASE. THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYONES ADVICE.
WOW That is unreal i believe what you say is true. And i will exchange them for stainless steel nuts. But i had a pretty high source tell me i better use the brass nuts or i would have problembs gaulding. This info came from another popular web site page. So i called NORRIS CRAFT BOATS and spoke to MR. RICHARD one of the owners and he told me the same as you are telling me. Not to use the brass nuts or my motor might be at the bottom of the lake ( QUESTION PLEASE ) Do i put anything like blue loc tite on the threads before i tighten them down or anything to prevent gaulding or anti seize or what would be the best. I hung up with NORRIS CRAFT before i could ask him the above question. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP MR. MODERATOR.
SEAFOAM / YAMAHA RING FREE. THEY WORK. WHEN THE MODERATOR FOR BASS CAT BOATS SUGGEST SEAFOAM I PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT HE IS SAYING HE IS NOT TRYING TO SELL A PRODUCT HE IS JUST TELLING YOU FROM EXPERIENCE
The machete is a aluminum 3 blade with my 82 motor guide it has a lot of power. I had the plastic machete on it when i bought it and i was dissapointed. The guy i bought the trolling motor from told me to try the machete because it does not flex as the plastic does . Boy what a difference it has plenty of torque now and will scoot.
