My motor is mounted in the same hole location as yours.IWhen I get some time I am going to raise it to the second hole up.Jay recomended trying the second hole.My mechanic put new motor in same holes as the 150 was mounted.

Thanks for the info welder.I had my new honda bf 225 installed thursday evening.I took it out on a local lake and tried a couple of different props.Here are my results.Honda 15x17 alluminum prop 3000rpm=26mph 4000rpm=36mph 5800rpm=51+mph.I also tried out a HONDA 14 1/4 X 17 stainless steel 3000rpm c...

Welder,what prop are you running on your bf225?What is the top speed that you can get?I took a 23ft with the 225 honda for a test run and saw speeds right around 55mph. I hear you on the extra power, the 150 was a little under power with full tank and 4 people on board.I do charters, and tournaments...

I was getting 5500-5600 on the original prop.When we reproped it last week the new prop was 6000.But the motor will still not get up on plane in relatively small seas.

I traded it in on the 225.Last week the motor lost power in the top end.I had trouble getting up on plane.I had to send everyone forward to get going,After a while the rpms will climb and the boat will get up to speed.I took it to my mechanic who consulted with honda and they decided that the motor ...

I am in the process of replacing my honda 150 with a 225.I am wondering what prop that most of you with this same settup are using?I am putting it on a pacific v2325 hardtop.

I am looking to purchase a auto pilot for my pacific V 2325. Can anyone give some recommendations on which make and model would work best for me. I am primarily looking to use this when trolling on the great lakes.We troll anywhere from 2-3 mph for walleye and salmon. This is my main concern, holdin...

I have the same setup as this.My boat tops out at 42mph wot.The only issue that I have is when the fuel tank 120 gal is full and 6 people onboard it takes off rather sluggish.I recently installed the lenco trim tabs and this has helped to get on plane quicker.You cannot beat the 150 for fuel consumt...

Thanks for all of the advice on this issue.I finally broke down and installed the lenco trim tabs on my boat a few weeks ago.All that I can say is wow, these sure do make the boat handle a lot different.We were tournament fishing this past weekend on Lake Ontario and were making 30 mile one way runs...

What did you use to seal off the wires for the trim tabs where they go thru the hull? Where did you purchase this?

yes, the mounting plates with the tapped holes are in place already.What size lenco's are you guy's using?Thanks for the pics alloy toy.

I have a question regarding trim tabs.I have a v2325 hardtop powered by a 150 honda.I do not have trim tabs on this boat now.My problem is that when she is fully loaded(full gas tank,4-6 people and gear)I have a hard time getting on plane quickly.I have to send a few people to the front to get the b...

Sure thing captain dave,I will get some up tomorrow.I use mostly downriggers and planer boards.This type of fishing is all trolling,we just have to figure out what depth the fish are and get our lures into that zone.I wish it was only that easy.

Team Pacific Time traveled north to St. Catherines Ontario Canada to fish in the spring scottie salmon tournament. 71 teams showed up to fish this tournament. It was a two day event based on your five heaviest fish each day. We pre-fished two days prior to the start and caught kings up to 20 lbs. Da...

I used no sealants in my mounting procedure.I drilled and tapped the motor transom bracket and attached it this way.The front of the transducer is about 1/4 inch below the hull.The back is at about a 5 degree angle forward.I was going to use a epoxy to fill in the void between the hull and transduce...

No they did not recomend either side.The other side already had a transducer from my lowrance and the zinc was located their also.the mounts that pacific installed on the boats were located to low to the bottom of the boat for this large of a trasnducer.If you notice from the photo I mounted it to t...

Here are some photos of the transducer and the brackets that I made for my pacific.After talking to Irene at airmar I decided to go with their transom mount model tm 258 this is a 50/200khz 1kw transducer.The bracket that comes with this was designed to be picked up when running.I opted to build one...

Yes Alloy toy those are planer board mast.We use the boards for trolling.This enables us to runn 3-4 rods off each side of the boat spread out over a 150ft path.Now that Lake Erie has been invaded by zebra mussels the water has become much clearer and the fish tend to be boat shy.Here is a close up ...

I have attached some photos of my pacific.I use this boat for walleye and salmon fishing charters on the great lakes.I primarily fish out of Erie, Pennsylvania.We travel and fish tournaments in Canada and New York also. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll168/trp111865/dcp_0618.jpg[/I http://i288.p...
