    2005 Nitro Planning Issues

    I too have a 2006 NX 898 with a 1997 200 EFI Mariner on it. I have three props for ir 25 tempest 3 blade, 24 Tempest 3 blade and 23 four blade renegade. It is a dog with all three props and full wells and tournament load. With the 24 it runs out at 53 mph @ 5300 rpm. Full wells and my partner...

    Fury Prop On Mercury 225 And Nitro 929 Cdx

    Jerry, thanks for the information. I have a 2006 NX898 with a 200 mariner. I am running a 23p 4 blade. I am able to stay on plane a lot slower with it than the 3 blade but on take off I blow the prop and really have to feather it to bite. Some numb nut drilled out the pvs holes so now the plugs...

    I am having problems with this old motor not making power. (0G181047) It will not bring my 2004 Nitro 898 on plane and turns only 3000 rpm under load. pegs tach on muffs no load. It doesn't seem to miss, just lugs hard. It has a Tempest 25" prop and is set on a 6 inch jackplate (raised all the...

    How to use Power Tune on EFI ?

    Would I be better off running lower octane fuel (say 86/87)and adding a stabilizer/ethanol treatment. This is my 13th boat motor and I think it is demon possessed.....lol

    How to use Power Tune on EFI ?

    When it was on the Pantera the top end speed was still there at WOT but took forever to break over to get on plane. Compressions are all near 120 +/_ 5. On the Nitro I cant get it on plane to see about the speed. It has always been very sluggish. Every Pantera I have seen with a 200 hp merc or...

    How to use Power Tune on EFI ?

    I too have a 96 200 EFI Mag. Mariner, it is not coming out of the hole. It will only get 3000 rpm and just stand the nose up. I had the ECU rebuilt, replaced a voltage regulator that had some wires heat discolored and had the prop reworked. It was on a 96 Pantera 2 but I traded and put it on a...

    Stealth vs StingRay XRIII Hydrofoils

    I had the SE300 on a bass cat p2 with Mariner 200Mag. EFI and a 25" prop. It would not stay on plane at a speed I wanted to cruse and look for areas to fish. I added this monster looking thing and was able to slow way down and still stay on plane. I now have the same motor on a Nitro NX898 I...
