    01 ficht 250

    I had a 01 ficht 250 and was wondering if that motor has a rev limiter and if it could have been faulty. I think I was underpropped and was over revving it. It blew a rod and sawed thru the power head. I seen the tach get up to 6400 + but was told it was probably miss calibrated tach because I...

    Do ficht motors have rev limiters

    Had a 01 250 ficht that seemed to idle smooth run great but blew a rod and sawed thru the powerhead. Think I may have been under propped and was over spinning the motor but was told it has a rev limiter and cannot. I seen the tach run up to 6400 and pretty sure the motor should only operate up...

    underwater downrigger cams

    Just wondering if anybody knows much about these. I know walker has these and was curious to see if they could be fitted to my cannons or if there is any others on the market. Would be nice to know if your bait is not fouled with sea grass or something and that you are not just drownding some...

    Sevylor orbit

    Just wondering if anybody else has tried this tube. Insanely fun. Had the orbit 3 but it was a little big (understatement 9' around) but was able to switch to the orbit 2. It hooks in the center and spins like a teacup out in the wake. Since you sit upright it doesnt take a daredevil to ride and...

    Shifting is super tight

    I have a 97 225 evinrude that takes a gorilla to shift in and out of neutral. I asked the mech. if I needed new controlls but he said that it is just common with the older big rudes. Makes it a bear in tight spots or to let someone who is not used it take over sometimes.

I seem pretty happy with it but not really sure were the motor should be...

    I have a 24 cc probably 2500 to 3000 pounds? being pulled by a half ton gmc. It tows fine upto fifties once past seventy its only a matter of time before she starts to swing usually down hill. It doesnt seem to squat the truck at all. Not really sure if I should try moving the boat forward or...

    Question 2000 ficht 225 yes or no

    I currently have a 24' 97 Sunbird cc with a 97 225 looper wich runs out pretty good. I blew the lower unit and was thinking about rebuilding the power head over the winter just to keep it fresh. The local dealer has a 2000 ficht 225 with a little over 300 hrs on it and a new lower unit for...
