SOMEBODY EMAILED ME AND WANTED TO KNOW THE FACTssssssss AND NOT JUST AN OPINON on my choice of motors 2 -175 FOUR STROKES ZUKES for my 2520 DV . BEFORE I WAS RUNNING 2- 200 HP 2 STROKES THAT HAD 182 CUBIC INCHES THE NEW ZUKES HAVE 176 CUBIC INCHES AND THEY OUR 4 CYLINDERS SO I'M LOSING 6 CUBIC INCHES.. BUT I'M ALSO LOSING 2 CYLINDERS THAT I HAVE TO FEED FUEL WISE.. I WILL STILL HAVE TO FEED 172 CUBIC INCHES , BUT THE LOSS OF FRICTION OF 2 CYLINDERS IS GOING TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL GAIN IN THE ECONOMY DEPARTMENT .....................................................
THE 150-175S BOTH USE A 2.50 TO ONE GEAR RATIO AND THEY COME WITH A FACTORY 4 BLADE 16 INCH PROP 17--27 PITCH THATS A FACT NOT JUST SOMEBODYS OPINION ........................................................
ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ZUKE DID WAS THEY HAVE 2 BATTERY POST ONE FOR THE STARTING SYSTEM AND ONE FOR THE ELECTRONICS OR IN MY CASE THE MERMAID A/C SYSTEM..............................................
ON THE FACTORY 150-175 THEY COME WITH 45 AMP CHARGING SYSTEM 35 AMP WAS THE CLOSEST COMPETITOR.................................
THE FACTORY OIL SYSTEM HELD 8.0 QTS. THATS 2.4 MORE QTS THAN ANY COMPETITOR WHICH MEANS THE OIL SYSTEM WILL ALWAYS KEEP A MORE CONSTANT LOWER OIL TEMPERATURE AND LETS FACE IT WE BOUGHT PARKERS. WE COULD HAVE BOUGHT CHEAPER BOATS, WE'LL GET OVER THE PRICE OF THE 2 QTS I'M SURE.........................................
ONE THING THAT I'M HOPING IS THAT THE WATER COOLED INTAKE SYSTEM WILL HELP ON FUEL ECONOMY THE COOLER THE FUEL THAT GOES INTO THE MOTOR THE BETTER THE DETONATION AND THAT WILL HELP US HAVE A GREENER WORLD
