Official 19SPX/21SPX/SPX190/SPX210 Thread

Looks like they removed the outdrive for inspection or storage and gasket got pinched out. Grease is used on shift linkage in that area both for lube and to hold in place while putting drive back on

Thanks for the reply. I hope that's all it is. I was going to 'summerize' the boat myself, but based on this I guess it's back to the dealer...

Yeah, they need to pull the drive again and replace the gasket. 15min job, but they should not have left it like that.
 
Anyone know if the wakeboard tower folds down into the cockpit or does it stop above the windows? All I could find was the info on the 2015 model from the service manual for trailed heights.

2017 19 spx I/O with mercruiser 4.5 200HP has stock 19 pitch aluminum prop. Anyone have luck with a proven stainless? I want great overall performance. Wish I could try then buy, but you cant do that around here.

If you find one let me know! Mine gets delivered next week (hopefully!).

Interesting - I thought standard was a 21P BlackMax. I'm at altitude (5300 ft) and mine came with a 19P BlackMax to accommodate for the reduced power. "High Altitude Prop" was actually on my build sheet.

I'm planning on ordering a High Five or QST5 very soon. Mercury recommends sticking with the same pitch as the 3 blade your are replacing if going to a High Five.

Mine is coming with a 14x19 Black Max prop. Altitude ~900 feet. I believe the 19 is standard.

This is what I got from a service guy. You cannot find this online anywhere.

I just picked up my spx 190ob the other day, I noticed the key has to be on for the radio to work. THat also means there is power going to the Electic fuel pump, so my question is can you damage this fuel pump if there is constant power present at it and the motor is not running.

Not yet. I finally got a chance to get the boat out yesterday and get some hard numbers:

Here’s what what I found:

Sea Ray 19SPX
Mercruiser 4.5L V6 200 HP
Recommended max rpm 4400-4800
Alpha 1 1.81
BlackMax 19P Prop

Running yesterday at 5400 ft. altitude:

Full throttle – 4800 RPM – Trim down – 38 MPH GPS

I trimmed it up a bit – and got up to 5100 RPM – 41 MPH GPS

I didn’t try trimming up any higher as I didn’t want to push the rpms any further.

I've sent the info. off to Ken at PropGods to get his thoughts. Then I'll make a final decision on a better prop.

How was the hole shot?

Took our boat out for the first time this weekend. Rode really well. Scared the kids a bit with some turns on plane:). I love the way this boat cuts into the turns. Way more aggressive than the glastron we had.

FG3 any news on the prop? As we are in our first 10 hours of break in I only had it up to ~3000 rpm and 30 mph.
