    Lower unit Gear Ratio

    I believe that I was turning near the same with both at around 6000 - 6100. I know it is a guessing game now, but thought i would see if anyone had an idea of why this occured. It is strange, the original gearcase ran better mph on both boats with same prop - jackplate settings etc. I...

    Lower unit Gear Ratio

    This is how it worked. I bought the cmate and it had the case that came with the boat when bought. Then I got a merc 200 parts motor that is/was the same year as my merc 175 and boat. It had a beautiful barely used case. My original case that was on when bought boat had some serious play in...

    Lower unit Gear Ratio

    Quick question...I had a 94' Pulse harddeck; when I bought the boat ran decent #'s on gps - Put jack plate on etc. My question is: is it possible that there was a different gear ratio beside 1.86 for a 175 merc? I've since built a bass boat, and sold my mate, but both boats ran better with...

    starflite

    Was it an enchanter??? It looked like a starflite, but at 50mph, not stopping I was dead wrong. Sorry to all. How was it? I didn't stop, it looked older, but again without stopping wouldn't know. Where do you live zstevens? what type of boat are you in?

    starflite

    Don't know if I'm allowed to do this, but just a heads up....there is a really nice starflight with 200 merc for 3,700. I will try to take some pics tomorrow. Just saw it by my house and it looks nice. Thought the forum members would like to know about this. or send this to the ebay part of...

    Exhaust Tuner - TO do or NOT

    I redid the post with a different heading hoping to get some input. I have a 2.5L 175 merc, carbed. and I have the same year 200 tuner. I was going to put in my 175 merc. Do I have to jet different, or is it pretty much put it on and go? Thanks!

    1994 Pulse Hard Deck

    Thanks! It should be fun, to see it get done the way I wanted to. I know it's getting 200+ hp, paint , interior. I was surprised it didn't go sooner. That thing is rock solid. I'll be back in a check soon, but I'm going to rig my skeeter and play around in that this spring.

    1994 Pulse Hard Deck

    Boat is SOLD locally by word of mouth, and old friend got it.....I can't wait to see it done. Thanks to all who inquired. Jack plate doesn't have gauge, but has small rubber switch buttons and mount plate. I had it right on my throttle. Pics to come. Thanks BRYAN

    Mercury 175 - carbed 2.5L

    I have my powerhead off, putting a new mid on, due to accident. I have a 200 tuner from the same year merc. Is this worth putting in. What would I have to tune different if anything? Any help is appreciated.
