Well that is a problem then isnt it. This boat was won last August but never put in the water never had batteries until about 2-3 weeks ago when i bought it from them. It was keep in a garage until they sold it to me. Today the rod locker lock broke off. I am really wondering if I got a lemon.
Brech did all the work on the boat when I bought it. They installed tm,depth finders,hot foot,protrim and batteries and hooked up the chargers. They did a great job. I cant afford to drive 3 hrs one way for this little stuff. I relocated the ecu as far as I could from the speedo cut the hose loose on the speedo and reattached the hose and added silicone for good measure. Just a little frustrated with the charger crapping out on me seeing as how it has never been used. The lock broke at the stem right where it is enclosed in the plastic. I really doubt that any dealer would have caught the leaking speedo with out running the boat and having it short out which apparently takes running for a while before it starts leaking enough to short because both times it was after a good run down the lake when the water showed up in the ECU black box. I dried out the box real good and so far everything is working fine. I do love the boat it fishes great and rides great just aggravated about the charger not working.
could I be trimming up to high and losing water pressure? will that cause a shutdown?
what kind of speed are you getting?
No way to transfer? Do you have a navionics card in your gps? you can set your waypoint on the pc then download them to a sd card and load them to your gps. You do have to pay for any additional hd maps but the software works great and is really neat with the google earth feature where you can pull up an aerial view right next to the map. I think it is well worth the $20.
Well currently I have 2 trolling btrys on passenger side with small charger pro sport 8 then on driver side oil tank and cranking btry. I think I can get the MK330 in on the passenger side but it will be tight. Just wondering what other people did. I looked at the dual pro chargers but the appear to be too big unless I mount it on vertical wall of back storage compartment I dont think the MK330 will mount that way due to it not having through holes on the mounting flanges just slits.
Hmmm didnt think about that Steel. Not a bad idea
Well if I had a garage that might work but I park in my yard and just keep a cover on it. LOL if I built a garage next to my house would never be able to back it up the hill about a 25 foot drop in 70 feet. I have to pull in the backyard then jackknife it around into the parking place.
I have a 2007 Sabre with 150 optimax it will run 62-64. They are definately load sensitive the more weight in the rear the better on mine. As far as fishing they are very nimble in around docks and stump fuels and I swear mine will float in less than 12″ of water lol. I have never been scared in rough water in mine and I fish Logan Martin alot which can get hairy with certain winds and summer boat traffic. If you are buying new get the 175 for sure some guys seeing 67-70 mph . Mine is for sale right now moving up to a Caracal cause ther wife wants a bigger boat lol.
I have pics for anyone who wants them
How high are you running jack plate?
Sold pending payment
Really wondering mine is flush and I hit 70 at 5400 rpm with NO rooster tail to speak off?
Thanks for the info!!
Got a new caracal and live less than 2 hours away but can’t make it dagummit my daughter is a senior this year and starting catcher on the softball team of course we have a tournament that weekend. Oh well you guys have fun.
