    92' XP 200 pulls right .

    I would like to think everyone for the help and advice with this problem .<br />Dhadley, your advice worked like a charm. The tourque tab mounted on the skeg was the ticket. My boat no longer pulls right at the top end. The ride is much more enjoyable when you dont have to fight the wheel all...

    92' XP 200 pulls right .

    My XP 200 is on a 19 foot Astro F/S. At different points in the RPM range this thing pulls to right.<br />I have adjusted the tab on the lower unit as far as it will go and it has helped the problem by 50% but the more I am into the gas the harder it pulls. What is funny about this problem is...

    Every once in a while my 92 Evinrude XP will just die, almost as if the key was turned off. It has did this 3 times now and I have not got it narrowed down.

    92 model XP 200 rpm questions

    I have a question regarding the WOT rpms. I have seen it stressed several times on how important it is to have a set up to get the correct rpm at WOT. My question is what is the proper method to achieve the rpms. My motor hits about 4800 to 5000 rpms without trimming the motor. The more I trim...

    Cowling insulation on 92' 200 XP

    My cowling on my 200hp XP, 92 model does not have any insulation in it and as you can guess it is very loud. Can I put insulation in it without causing heat problems with the engine? If I can does anyone have any suggestions on what to use that would be the best to cut down on the noise?
