With new 11 pitch prop I hit 31mph at 6100rpm but I don't like pushing it past 5800rpm so I keep it there and get about 28mph with 3 people. Still lower than other people are getting. Merc says this motor performs best at 5500-6000rpm

Hey costa, I'm planning to start in bewdly then head to the river mouth and tracks, you target any of those areas? What tactics? I'd like to get my dad in a few

I'll check the plate and make sure the coils are plugged in correctly once I get home. Thanks

F10.38x13p

Went to rice last sun, got 4. May fly hatch was on and bluebird skies no wind made it tough. Bucktails and cranks. Anyone else get any recently on rice?

Not sure the diameter but the pitch is 13. MisterG I got my boat second hand, the motor was mounted by the marina on the 3rd hold from the top. i can tilt the motor up and down by a button, when I start I trim all the way down, and the prop faces down slightly rather than horizontal

Awesome thanks for your help ^^ I will be picking up a 11 pitch today, the store told me if i want he'll switch it for even a 10 if I'm not satisfied, thanks!

His boats at a marina 3 hours from me so that's not an option and he's unsure of his prop specs

Spoke to one of them already, they said it dosent sound like a prop issue, almost every other place said it does. I want to get it checked out but lots of marinas near me are 2 weeks wait

I've been getting different answers about prop and motor

So with the different prop and higher Rpm is could get my speed up to 30+ mph like my friends

I already have a 13 pitch, I would need a smaller one

It has power trim, maybe I was to much over trimmed, and they are installed in the second or third hole

The boat is rated for max 75hp, I know something isn't right, I've been told various times it's a prop issue and a handful of people have told me it could be motor related. His boat is at the marina so he's unsure of the pitch. My outboard runs great though. No hesitation and starts first turn everytime

I recently bought a 08 mercury 60hp efi 4 stroke and took it out for the first time Sunday. At WOT it takes about 35-45 sec to plane and reaches a max speed of 21mph and 5100rpm. It's on a 16' smokercraft pro angler xl. Prop pitch is 13. Gas is from last season the owner said but stabil was put in the tank. My friend has the same boat and motor and he gets up on plane in 5 seconds and hits 37mph and 6000rpm. What could be the issue with mine?

Called navionics about the update. Thanks!

Okay cool and do I buy the update chip at a store or I can update it online?

Don't you need a harbour permit for the toronto islands? And I heard the launch is a decent drive away.

I see I can update my card for $99 on navionics but it says enjoy it for a year. Do the maps expire after a year or how does that work?

So I updated the software on the hds5 gen1, and still no lake depths for buckhorn and rice lake. There is a fish n chips option but it is not highlighted and dosent allow me to select it. Also I cannot find any selection for southern ontario. I only have options for lowrance or navionics charts. all other lakes have contours and depths.

Thanks for all the advice guys, BillM in your last post are you speaking of Honey harbour or gloucester pool?

Hey everyone, I'm looking to take my dad pike fishing this weekend on our boat hoping to land some nicer sized ones. We don't target them very much so I would appreciate if someone led me in the right direction in terms of what lake to try, willing to travel 2-3 hours from toronto. Thanks

What do you mean kickinfrog? What part of the menu?

Is there a way to fix that? On my hummingbird all the lakes used to be detailed

I just recieved a lowrance HDS 5 gen 1 a few days ago. I put in a navionics hot maps in it. It will show lakes like scugog and others in great detail and contours but when I scroll over to buckhorn and pigeon lake it won't show depths and barley any detail. Any ideas? Also is there a way to upload my waypoints from my navionics chip to my new sonar?
