Hello there Allison Owners' Family I finally fired up Jim's computer a few days ago and on his desktop was this Forum and he was still signed on. Today I was able to read all the tributes to him. He certainly loved his time with all of you and looked forward to his 75th in 2015. I only went...

High side stator is in the 2700 to 3200 RPM range. Could be the stator but you should also check the switch boxes. I had the same problem with the motor just stopping like pulling the kill switch. Turns out I had a switch box that had some kind of short to ground when the motor warmed up...

Flat calm , early morning cool , on pad and aired out , look back , suns rays through prop mist , ethereal beauty . Jim

OK !! So does anyone out there want to let us know just what kind of fuel mileage a 225 Promax gets ----- 4 , 5 , 6 miles per gallon ????

This is the old man !!!! I'm on the board as Jimxb02. I live on the gulf coast north of Tampa FL in a small town called Hernando Beach. Lots of fun running with you Jeff. When that XR takes a set it really flies. Keep it waxed and looking good ; I don't think Darris is going to make...

First call Todd at Hydromotive and tell him what model Allison, motor and setup you have and what you want to do ( fish, race, or cruise ) . Other props to try ----- Hoss hyperdrive 14.5 X 28 ; Drag3 14.5 X 30 Jim

I've always had bad luck with auto pumps in my XB2002. Bought a new manual pump with capacity to keep up with a storm and wired it to it's own switch on the dashboard (with fuse ). Simple two wire circuit with no problems for three years. Jim

With the power you have I would try a 28" drag three or call Todd at hydromotive for his help. The quad 4 OT from Hydromotive always works well on the XB03's. I have a 28" Drag 3 on my XB2002 with 225 Promax --- with raised limiter. Runs 99 to 100 GPS. Or plan "B" , send a used chopper to...

Make the move now Lou ------- carpe diem !!!! I escaped from San Mateo, CA in 1998 an never looked back. Good luck. Jim

Stay with the Promax 225 !!!! If your fishing and summer with family, the promax is all you need. Well set up and a good prop they run very strong on the 02 with lower maintenance cost and good gas mileage. If you have to rebuild --- the promax is less trouble and money. If you put the...

With the power you have I would start at 1/2" below pad and work up to maybe even when you have some seat time ( assuming you still have the lip on pad ). Jim

Sunny and warm here today. Took boat for an early morning ride ---- dog jumped in ----- wife says he won't stop barking if I leave him behind. Cut grass this afternoon ; cooler than summertime but still has to be cut once a week. Wish everyone a good holiday season !!!!! Jim Tampa , FL

I've been running a quad4 o/t on my xb2002 for a few years. Best all around prop I have. Will carrry a load and will run a good top end running light. Jim

Plan to be there this year !!!! Let me know when to book room. Jim

I have the quad4 on my xb02 when I am carrying a load or just crusing ----- great all around prop Jim
