Has anyone seen or put a power pole on the heritage yet?

I put a stick it anchor pin on mine.  Much cheaper.

Google Micro Power Pole...that is what I've seen used and it works very well

Made a storage box/seat/step.

Bimini top is worth the trouble.

 

Ladder.  Hung a slab of pvc off of ladder to better distribute load against the hull.  Works, but not very convenient.  Suggestions welcomed.

Nice set-up.  Do you have anymore pictures what your trying to do with the ladder?  How do you like the bimini?  I've been kicking around the idea of getting one.  How usable is your rear deck with it up?  Thanks.

I had a ladder like that on a pontoon once and used pool noodles around the metal uprights to protect the hull. It looked bad but worked good.

The bimini is great.  I’ve positioned it to maximize rear deck space with it up or down.  Very glad to have it.  I’ll take more pictures of the ladder and post them for you.  I wanted something I could stow away and not have to mount on the transom.  I didn’t trust the little rubber feet against the hull, thus the pvc.  The problem is the pvc floats so you have to put it in place before you climb aboard.

What RPM are y’all seeing at max speed? My dealer said I should see 6000 but I only got 5000. They said if I don’t get 6000 they will need to change the prop? 

Mine will go to 6000,but i like to run mine around 5400,What i have been doing is getting it up to 5000-5200,then trim it up and the rpm's go to 5400-5500 and that gives me a speed of 29-30 mph.Plenty fast.

Yours will run 6000 with the motor tilted all the way down? We’re gettin after it for the first time max throttle with motor tilted all the way down and only got 5000.  My wife had a speedometer from her phone, only saying 25mph.

I’m getting the same performance as ratman.

Just curious has anyone heard what the final number of heritages were sold? I was one of the last ones to order, I put my order in on March 14th

Im sure it will get to 6000 with motor down, just don't like to push it that far.

I get about 33-35 mph max.  Mostly when I am going to another spot, I will go 29-30 mph with no effort.  To the max, I found the right trim.  Its all about the conditions as well. 

I have a garmin with quickdraw mapping,just wondering if anyone knows what blue and white shading on map is.Was thinking it might be bottom hardness?

I think depth.

Sorry, I must of missed your question. Yamamoto’s Senko

Nice dude, Are any of y’all on the fish brain app? 

Not me but it looks interesting.

I have the same.  Those are your depth contours.  I use this when planning to go to a new part of the lake.  Lakes that have maps, might also have the contours.

I don't...  No real plans to use it either.  Known about it for quite some time.

Well I have had a bad couple outings... Yesterday the worst. 

 

I launch and was speeding on down the lake... Then it choked and cut out.  I primed as it ball was not hard at all.  I started it back up.  Of course it died again.  We did the cat and mouse with me now blown on a sandbar.  

 

The primer bass was just catching air.  I had plenty of gas, but I filled it up with my reserve can anyhow.  I took the hose apart, check everything as best I could  Everything seemed legit.

 

Finally I just laid down to think about siphoning gas and such.  I noticed the "Fuel Demand Valve" http://www.attwoodmarine.com/store/product/portable-fuel/fuel-demand-valve  

 

I had it on top of the can so it would have plenty of line and not disconnect from some bump/jolt.  I put it back on the side of the can where it was on the floor and against the wall.  I pumped the ball and it started getting firm... 

 

The boat cranked up and it ran great.... Then it died again...  I jumped back their and pumped the ball, it was semi firm, but quickly got normal.  It didn't break down again.  This was the second day this happening.  The first day, it did it but I t remedied and we fished.  Yesterday... I was out there for an hour before I got to fish... 

 

I also noticed some hydraulic oil on the steering arm, or whatever it is that moves the motor.  the cap was loose.  I will be taking her to the shop in august when I go in for back surgery...  

 

Finally...  When I got home after catching nothing but the blues from hell, I broke my trailer tail light when backing up the driveway.  I had a box on the corner of the house with a grill lid on it that I was supposed to take to the dump... When it was all my fault.  I mean, man... everything was against me this weekend.  

 

Any tips on the gas line thing?  

I have no idea but how was your gas vent?

Exactly what happened to me. Took it to service center, they told me it was that the connection at the tank wasn’t connected all the way. Not sure about that but it did work after that. I replaced the tank with a mercury tank that has a solid connection not the quick connect. Also that original tank would expand like crazy, and heard some bad reviews about it. I think the design of that tank builds to much pressure with the ventless cap and puts to much pressure on the fittings.

I open the vent when I operate the boat.

Just a shot in the dark here, but it sounds like you have an air leak somewhere.  I would start with the engine and work my way down to the tank to make sure your fittings are air tight.  If you take it back to the dealer they are going to put the exact same equipment back into the boat.  I've always thought some of the fuel system seemed a little sketchy so if I have any problems, I'll change out what I can myself with a better quality item.

 

Knock on wood my boat has been running strong so far, well except that time it took me a little while to figure out the emergency kill switch was down .

I open vent when running motor but new ventless caps will only vent when pressure gets way high not like the old vented caps. I’m pretty sure the cap on the tank that came with the boat was faulty and didn’t vent at all.

And I think that’s why the fitting on the tank was not connected tight.

From all the pressure on it.
