Re: New Honda Brain Costs...
 

Whew! That was close! :o

Glad you got it taken care of.

Re: New Honda Brain Costs...
 

Well thats the good news, But what about the new ECU, did they fix the problem? did you get the updated unit?? or else you better start saving your pennys for the next time.

I always look at the hidden bad news!

Re: New Honda Brain Costs...
 

Yep...new ECU has all current updates and it DID correct all the probs the motor was havin' ... felt pretty "peppy", but I had a light load...takin' kids to the lake next week...that'll be the REEL test ;D ...

Re: New Honda Brain Costs...
 

I know that you had said before that your V was a little sluggish with that motor, which really suprised me as well as my 140 does. Wonder if it has been running at less than 100% the whole time.

Re: New Honda Brain Costs...
 

Nope...she's been gettin' 100% ... motor's not sluggish once outta the hole ... pretty strong on plane all the way up to 6 grand at 42 mph...I've got it propped to cruise 30 mph which doesn't give it a great hole-shot ;) ...C'mon down, I'll show ya and we can chase some stripes 8) ...



Swing by and scoop up Blue Runner on yer way ;) ...

Re: New Honda Brain Costs...
 

OK, I was confussed on the sluggish part, glad the brain was warrantied but I bet that Honda woulda fixed it anyway since they put out a bulliten on it.

From what I have read, winter is the best time for stripes, is that true? *Or are they year round like most other fish in this area?

Re: New Honda Brain Costs...
 

My favorite time is winter cause the are up in the top of the water column and SMASH live bait near the surface...they can be had other times of the year, but gettin' down's tuff sometimes ;) ...C'mon down ... we'll do some cut-baitin' ;) ...
