Well, one of my two Walmart Everstart 27G DeepCycle trolling motor batteries bit the dust. I bought both at the same time from Walmart in 2013. I managed to get 5 hard years of service out of them. Only "ONE" is bad but I will replace both so they match and share a similar duty cycle...

https://www.mercurymarine.com.au/home/outboards/twostroke/90-hp-40-hp/90-hp.asp The boat came with a 60. The orginal owner bought a new 2005 90 that had never been run from a dealer. Took the boat out yesterday. My tac seems fine. Im gonna try a 23p maybe a 24p. See what happens.

One more thing to think about. Today out on the lake. My Low Oil level alarm went off telling me I needed to add more oil. But oil tank is full. Bad sensor. I just unplugged the faulty sensor. After doing some quick research that seems to be a pretty common issue.

Yeah need to check the tac. I thought it was a little high but wasnt sure that why i said per the boat tachometer. yes gps for speed. I just ran the numbers on a prop calculator and Im getting 9% at top speed of 48 mph 21 pitch prop 2.33 gear ration and 6200 rpm gave me .092910 prop slip

The newer revolution hulls are pretty fast for an aluminum boat. My buddy has an 19ft express with a 90 yamaha and my boat is significantly faster.

Thanks... My motor is carburetor non fuel injected. As of now Im running a solas stainless 13x21. where the test shows a black max aluminum 13x19. which would explain my slightly faster speeds. But I still have almost 500 more rpm's. My hole shot is super quick less than 2 boat length. So I...

I like my Revo's. I own the base model S all the way through the mgx. Im yet to purchase a rocket but its gonna happen. ;) But a bait castor gives so many different options. Tons of gear ratios, sizes, braking options, flipping options and once learned, they in my option are more acurate when...

Thanks for the advice

yeah thats the plan if you didnt read all of the posts. I will replace them this winter when i recarpet the boat.

yeah I did all expect heat. I was scare to melt the carpet.

Yep gonna have to replace the base.. Bent a punch. Oh well, I was planning on recarpeting the boat next year anyway. Guess they wait [/attachment]

Man! I need to do this! awesome lights guys

hey guys/gals, I have a 2006 Bass Tracker Pro team 190 tx. It has a 90 Mercury ELPTO non DFI. The prop that is on the boat is a Solas 3 blade stainless that is 13x21. At WOT the boat runs 6200 rpm per the console tachometer and 46-48 mph GPS. I feel like the motor needs to be at about 5500 rpm...

I recently repainted the gunnels on my bass tracker. I like some of your tips. wish I had seen the write up earlier.
