the 175 had a 17p, I could only get about 5200 rpm’s at WOT. the fist prop I had on was a 19p and I couldn’t get to 5000 all the way trimmed up. I really think that I had something going on with the motor. I now moved to a 200 4 stroke Suzuki. The dealer is installing a 21p. I know the gear...

I haven’t got it back yet. The first 10 yours is break in time and I can’t go to WOT until there’s about 5 hours on it. I’m just trying to save them the hassle and cost of changing out the prop if they get it wrong.

Hi, I have a 204c that is at the dealer getting a new 200 Suzuki. The dealer messaged me earlier and said they were going to use a stainless 15.25x21 pitch. My (inexperienced) thoughts are that a 19P would be more accurate. the old motor was a 175 2 Smoke with a 17P. I never could get the right...

Thanks

HI, can anyone tell me what the hole size is for Suzuki 5" tach and 2" fuel gauges? I'm making a new dash panel for a new outboard and can't find the specs on Suzuki's site. Thanks

I'm currently installing a Minn Kota 36V on my 204C. After a ton of research, I decided to go with 3- 100ah lithium batteries. I'm also going to install a NOCO on board charger.

Feels Reel is showing the correct spot. In the 6" access hole. It's just about impossible to reach. I have my batteries on each side of the stern underneath the seats (if they are there) You can try to reach it from there as well. I put a new one in last year and have an issue with it, so here...

Or use an ACR and not need to worry about switching by hand.

Hi, I just spent too many hours to count researching boat batteries. There are pros and cons to each type and each has special capabilities and or limitations. Lead acid can only use 50% of the rated amp hours and diminish after each cycle. AGM are somewhat better, both are suitable for...

Hi, has anyone installed a bow mount trolling motor on a 204 overnighter? I’m trying to get some feedback on shaft length and thrust. thanks

Thanks for the response, as I indicated in the post, my transom was redone 2 years ago and the boat has not been wet slipped. I sealed the splash well, no more aluminum trim or way for water to infiltrate. the Mercs are substantially more expensive but I only want to do this once.

HI, I'm looking to repower my "82 -204C overnighter with a new 4 stroke. I currently have a 95 Johnson 175 , 2 stroke. Best I can tell the old motor weighs 370#. The new Yamaha's and Suzuki's are about 529 lbs. Looks form the forums that I'm not the first guy to go this route. Trying to decide...

I have an '82-204C. I saw the signs of rust around the u-bolts and the aluminum caps had been caulked with silicone. the tell-tale sign was when I drilled to put the transducer on. water squirted out of the hole that I drilled. I tore it apart and rebuilt the transom, 6 months later I'm back...

Go onto Sailrite website. They have a ton of instructional videos.

Awsome Job! what length and thrust did you go with?

Agree, Andy's videos are the best!

When I rebuilt mine, I removed the aluminum and epoxied and glassed over the entire seam..
