Location: Central MN | Hi All -
I recently made the trip from central MN to West Virginia to pick up this Tuffy X-190 (which I found on this website, thank you!). I splashed it last weekend and played around with all of the electronics (360 Imaging, DI, SI and Talons). I would really appreciate some input on a couple of questions that I have. First of all, when I accelerate to get on plane, the boat really pulls to the left. The 200 Optimax is not equipped with a 'trim tab' and according to Mercury they do not even make one for this motor. The motor came with a 'Revolution 4' 21 pitch SS prop. I talked to a local prop expert in Brainerd, MN and he suggested that this prop may be too aggressive for this boat /motor. Any suggestions? Also, I had issues filling it with gas - I literally had to trickle feed the nozzle......took forever. I examined the fuel fill line entering the tank and there are no kinks, sharp turns, etc. The aluminum gas tank does have a welded 90 degree elbow on top of the tank, and I am thinking that this may be where the 'bottle neck' is. Anyone else experience similar symptoms?
