I'd call humminbird... That's who makes it. Skeeter just glues them in the hull.

Mount it to the bottom of the boat. LOL..

It's going black because it's out of the water. I've never seen one the wasn't at those speeds...it would probably rip off.

By my math, if using a 25p.. You're at 20% slip.
you're getting too much slip. Lower the motor. Use the mercury racing prop slip calculator. Your gear ratio is 1.75.

By comparison, I'm...

There are no external flaps.. there is a round valve with rubber flaps inside that rotate when you turn the handle. You can easily remove the valve and take it apart. Grease the rubber inside it...

Most folks run their motor too high and too much trim... Causes the porpoise. My boat had zero porpoise.. I've tried multiple period and no issue. I usually run my motor between 3-6. Currently...

Have you weighed your boat and trailer? Curious how much you're hauling around...

I run a 25 tempest and get 71 with 5600 rpm. I run my jack plate on 6 most of the time, but 7-8 for best speed. ...

I wish they'd release some test data... I
Like crash tests with air bags.

I believe th marine

Put it in the bilge with a sand bag on top to try it out...

tempest plus... all day. I've tried several and I've spoken to several of the big name prop guys. They all said tempest carries the skeeter better. Smaller diameter than the SHO T2, so you should...

I'll be honest... i'd really find out what your dealer was doing when they rewired. I'd start tracing wires and making a diagram. Odds are that the dealer knows less than the people that do it...

I'll check my fxr tomorrow and see if I can give you some help...

Just curios... does the switch light up when you turn it on and off?

My cougar was a real bear to rig in the nose. This is something I love about my fxr...it has a metal nose cap (assuming aluminum). You take it off and can easily access everything up there. ...

Sounds about right.

There ya go! Trade them to RMP or sell on your own.

Congrats! Looks sharp

Mine is actually really accurate. Maybe your sending unit is having issues?

I have solix... I run 360 and live on same screen. Only one unit. Sorry...

It just helps me be more efficient. I fish grass and docks/boat houses and structure. I can quickly look at structure and see if anything is moving. Then, I don't wantch the screen to fish. I...

Is there anything on the prop shaft or on the prop?

Uninformed dealer...

I have a 26 tempest that was worked by Ronnie Gilbert. It gets out of the hole really well, excellent driveability, carries the weight really well.

Yesterday into the wind and current:
71 @5690....

Maybe your dealer will work trade ins with you before they install. You can pick colors on the fxr select. They get volume pricing for having packages. That's why they are so competitively priced....

Yea... Mine was basically useless yesterday. I wound up just using it in landscape mode or nothing. Even DI is struggling right now.
