quest4reds Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Gave her a good bath including cleaning all the hatches out. Put some UV protection on the vinyl seats and gel coat, and applied Woody wax on the non-skid. I can already tell the Woody wax is a worth while investment. I'd include a picture but still can't get that to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give that a shot later today as I'm sure everyone on here just can't wait to see all the incredible pictures I have of my anchor light and console repair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just have to do that. Can't find a way on here to send a message to the moderators or tech support. It's kind of weird as I was able to load pictures before, but now can't get anything to attach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason p Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Shane, Other than the lower unit what’s the difference between the 300R and the regular 300? I’m assuming you’re doing the new 4.6L correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming you’re doing the new 4.6L correct? Rev limiter is higher for quicker holeshot, solid motor mounts (less shaking at high speed equals better stability and performance), and of course just a little hotter of a tune. The huge difference is the lower unit. Motor is 4.6 v8 Got the motor mounted and hoping for test run tonight 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulligan Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 What gears are you going with? 1.75 or 1.62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linesider 159 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 1.75 gears. According to merc racing 1.75 is running faster than 1.60 in single engine applications. He said they don’t know why and he can’t explain it but that’s what they are seeing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coto Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Please let me know how that ProSports runs with that 140 can’t wait to hear the new numbers. You really have transformed her into an even sweeter ride. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Just keep using the heck out of mine. Need to mount the jackplate and want to polish the bottom of the hull which has some oxidation going on, but dang the fish have been HUNGRY lately! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernWake Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Full day fishing today, tailing reds, flounder and trout. Still need to get the right prop, currently running a 21p and flying over the rev limiter (6200) at WOT and 45mph. coming from a 2 stroke I feel like I got a new boat. Fuel burn difference is unreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new engine what really blew me away was how quiet it is, especially at idle, and how fuel efficient it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch03 Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 Congratulations on the new motor. Felt the same way w mine. You will have to remember sometimes to turn it off it is so quiet. not to be a princess but I really enjoy that aspect of my Suzuki. I can stand on the stern and have a conversation with the motor running. Hutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
