    Prop identification

    I have a stainless steel Rampage prop 14 1/4 X 22 RH. The number on the hub is 201022. It has a solid hub. I could find no information on this prop. Can anybody tell me what it will fit? It does not fit my 150 Johnson.

    In one of your answers to Basscat73 you asked if he could use a 13.5 X 22 Turbo lightening. I assume you may have this prop for sale. If so let me know.<br />Bill

    slip factor

    Hi guys,<br />After moving my motor up one hole and using the slip factor formula I came up with a .256 slip. This seems high but I don't know what to do about it. Data: 2000 Johnson 150 on 17ft Stratos with a 14 1/2 X 23 aluminum, 5600 rpm, 49 mph (gps). Since the move I can't trim much at...

    Raising motor one hole

    After reading many posts here and checking my RPM's with a couple of props, I've come to the conclusion that I should try raising my motor at least one hole. I have a double step up hull (stratos). How difficult it it to remove the top two bolts and loosen the bottom ones and use the front...

    steering setup

    My Johnson 150 on a 17ft Stratos gets real hard to turn at both ends of the travel. It's okay in the middle ranges. I have greased everything except inside of the mechanism under the steering wheel (don't know if it can be done). I was wondering if I could change my control arm location. It...

    proper rpm at wot

    I finally got my tach installed and took her for a test. 2000 Johnson 150 on a 17ft stratos. I'm running a 23 pitch aluminum prop. At WOT with two people and full load I reached only 5300 rpm trimmed out. I have a 17 pitch backup prop and was wondering if I should run that instead of the 23...

    Gas primer bulb

    My primer bulb (2000 Johnson 150)never gets hard no matter how long I squeeze it. I feel gas being pumped but it doesn't get hard like others I've owned. This doesn't cause me any problems - it starts and runs fine. Just wondering if this is a problem waiting to happen? Any thoughts?

    150 Johnson thermostat

    I just installed a new tach and ran the motor (2000) on the muffs. Tach worked fine, but I noticed that the pee stream was cold even after running several minutes. The cylinder heads were hot to the touch (I couldn't hold it longer than about 5 sec). Water pressure gauge was registering when...

    My trailer has 5 wires going to a 4 pin plug (white, green, brown, yellow, and a black one. It's a 2000 Stratos trailer that has not been tampered with. My new vehicle wired at the dealer with a manufacturer harness has only 4 wires to a 4 pin plug (no black). Everything works except that the...

Can I hook the charger negative to the negative of one battery and the positive to the positive of the other battery. My charger didn't act right when I tried this so I...
