    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.

    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...

    I'm back

    Well I got my new (to me) 17 ft Stratos with a 150 Johnson. The one with the 15X17 prop (stratos recommended a 14 1/2 X 24). Even though the prop was slightly damaged I tried it and it ran lika a striped *** ape - especially the hole shot. I never went WOT because the tach is shot and I don't...

    Continuing prop dilemma

    I just found out that the 17 ft Stratos w/150 Johnny I'm getting has a damaged prop that is a 15X17. I have no idea how the boat ran with this prop. A friend wants to sell me a new aluminum prop that is a 14 1/2 X 23. Can someone tell me what the difference in performance between these two...

    trim tabs, Jack plate, hydrofoils

    Can someone explain the benefits and drawbacks to these various systems. I am looking for the most efficient/economic cruising for a 17 ft bass boat with a 150 Johnson. I really don't want a lot of speed. Trim tabs sound beneficial, but Jack plate has been recommended for efficiency as well...

    prop/ Evinrude 150

    A friend wants to sell me a new aluminum prop he bought for a back up for his SS. He bought it for his Evinrude 150 and now has a new motor. I need a new prop. How do I know if it's a proper prop for my 2000 Evinrude 150. He wants $100.00 which is probably a good price. Is there such a thing...
