    HOW FAST IS YOUR CHECKMATE? EVERYONE!

    Hey FlyBoy, Any blunt nosed lower unit will most likely blow out around 85mph. If you can get to 90mph you're really pushing it. Doesn't matter if its torque master fleet master or anything other than a Sportmaster type lower. Eventually the water gets pushed away in the form of a bubble from...

    2100 Br New setup

    Hey FlyBoy, I had a 2011 pulsare 2100 closed deck with a 2010 250 ProXS. 12 inch set back bracket and 5 inch setback with jackplate. total 17 inches. Ran the prop at 1.5 inches below the bottom. The torque master lower handled the height just fine. It has water pick ups on side and in the front...

    How many hours have you put on this season so far?

    Hours. A few years ago I had my 2011 checkmate pulsare/250 ProXS. Cant remember hours but the first year I had it I went thru 18 plus gallons of oil. Just thinking out loud about how far I may have gone. If the oil is truly 100 to 1 that means I went thru at least 1800 gallons of fuel. The boat...

    Need Some Input

    I had the same problem with a 97 Pulsare. Damp floor for years and it softened. I was driving along at a normal speed. Maybe 50mph and hit a slight wave and the seat went back. I didn't ware a lanyard beck then. You should have seen me scrambling to get back to the controls. Needless to say I...

    Ran my Verado 400r

    Chine walk. Sounds like you've experienced you're own nightmares with Chine walk. Im having a hard time understanding the problem as it does sound just like it. Up in the air then falling off to one side and then the fun begins. Wow. Never experienced a blowout and feel very lucky about that...

    Ran my Verado 400r

    Chine walk. Have you ever experienced Chine walk before. It sounds like its not so much a porpoise but Chine walk. My 21 Pulsare used to do it all the time. It ran a best of 84mph with a 250ProXS. The higher I ran the motor up the transom the less noticeable it was. I was at 1.5 inches below...

    Cracked 80 with my 2400br 300xs

    Hey Hayabusa, I saw in an earlier post you were talking about sending out an ECU for reprogramming. Was that on the new 400R or a 300xs. Thought you had the 400R on your rig. Was curious if you see this what results you got.

    How to choose/test props?

    prop BBlades can help as stated earlier. they have a prop swap program but they can also tune up your current propeller. Why go to 2 different places when you can do both at same place. They are a pleasure to work with and their prices are very good.

    engine height Looks great so far. Cant wait to see how far up you can run the propshaft. I just went thru this with my new rig. Skater 318. Used to have a 21 ft pulsate CD. My 400s are mounted to 3 inch jack plates right on the hull. We ended up 2 inches above the bottom and also had water...
