I guess I can’t back that up with facts, I just see how my 60” can move a lot in inclement weather so I figured the 72” would be quite a bit worse. If you haven’t had any problems in your 2190 then no need in the 2200

I have a 2019 wx2060 and bought a cheap 27 series everstart cranking battery from wal mart and keep it in the front drivers side compartment on the bow way up near the trolling motor (lots of room up there)..had a issue with the bow graph shutting off everytime I cranked the big motor. It Serves dual purpose as it runs my front graph all day and also can be used as a spare cranker if needed. I also carry a BEATIT 2000 amp jumper in my battery compartment..had to use it a couple times this spring when my interstate cranking battery would die after 2-3 hrs of running 2 graphs and both times the 250 fired right up after being fully dead!! I have since replaced the interstate with a Duracell Platinum size 31 AGM and the duracell is legit, i’ve been out all day running graphs, livewell pumps and radio and have never had an issue..that is where I would start but having a little jumper is also a must!!

Depends on what you’re doing..I have a 2019 WX2060 and got the 60” but wish I would’ve got the 72”. I do a lot of spot locking into the wind tossing jiggin raps and jigs in general, the wind in north central MN can get ridiculous at times and the waves will cause the t-motor to come out of the water. Don’t notice it near as much when just trolling along at .5 to 1.5 mph. It’s most noticeable on lakes with heavy boat traffic causing excess wake, especially on windy days the t-motor is working very hard to keep me planted. If you do go 72” a brace will be necessary, there’s a lot of force being put on the shaft when running in rough water..and trailering over bumpy roads.

I have a 2019 2060 and had the same issues, RPM’s are 5700-5800 at 55-56 mph loaded with gear and ~1/2 tank of fuel, could get more rpm’s but it’s just prop slip between 5800-6000. I tried a 19.5 and 19 pitch Bravo I LT’s and both improved the porpoising as well as hole shot and mid range..only issue was neither prop wanted to spin over 5500-5600 rpm’s but did it at 55 mph. I tried multiple engine heights with all props, ended up raising the motor about 1” from factory which also tamed the poroising while keeping the rpm’s closer to 5800 on the swsii prop. I ended up selling both of those props and going back to the SWSII with 4 dots showing on the manual jackplate. I also put a series 27 cranking battery in the front drivers side storage bin for my front graph (would always turn off when cranking motor). The added weight up front helped cut down on porpoising, still have to set the trim tab under the kicker on 1 bar to keep her level but it’s not as noticeable as it was before putting the battery up front. Learning to use the trim tabs on this boat is key, it is an extra step but they make a BIG difference in ride, it’s now 2nd nature before taking off i’ll put them on 3 or 4 bars then once at 35-40 mph up to just one on the port side and not beginning to trim the motor until about that same speed.

I have a 2500 FL I bought last September and used all fall on my TUCR 8′ MLXF rigging rod, it is extremely smooth and balances well with this rod. I also have 2 of the CI4+ in 2500 and have used them for a couple years with no issues whatsoever, also very smooth..drag systems are a wash. If choosing between these two reels I’d try each on it’s intended rod to see how it balances and that would be my decision maker. I tried a CI4 on that 8′ TUCR and it was too light, didn’t balance well which is why I went with the FL.

Right on, appreciate the info. I’ll get a spare relay and keep it in my fishing backpack.

I hear ya on the relays but my wheeler sat on the ice all night at -20 degrees while I was charging the battery at home. Once the battery was installed the next morning it fired right up, you would think if it was the relay it would not fire up even with the fully charged battery.

Resurrecting this slightly older thread. I have a 2012 Polaris Sportsman XP 550 and over the last couple yrs I have got stranded a few times when temps get below -15 degrees. Turned over fine but would not fire up. This year I got a new
Duracell battery from batteries plus and now the same thing happens when it gets to around 0 degrees. Tried turning the key on and hitting the throttle 10-20 times then trying to crank and nothing. Had to remove the battery and walk back to the pick up, drive home to recharge the battery then walk back out the next morning, put the battery in and fires right up. The 1st morning I had to do this it was -20 when I went out with the fully charged battery and it did not even hesitate, just fired right up. I now carry a booster with me at all times, haven’t needed it yet but now that I know it’s a battery issue that should be my fix to this problem. FYI when fishing I would start the wheeler about every hour and let it run 10-15 minutes which it would always crank over right away until the temps got down close to 0 then it would not fire up.

Thanks guys, i’ll contact humminbird again and get it sent in. I still plan on going with the X2 AGM battery but like I said would rather wait until next spring to do that..This is my first bird i’ve ran in the boat, have had the ice helix 7 for a couple yrs and love that. I hope this isn’t going to be a continuous problem as I really like the birds for mapping and mega SI/DI is pretty darn nice.

I ended up getting a Bravo I LT in 20p and also raised the motor 2.25” above where I was with the 3 blade..Hole shot and mid range are excellent and overall handling very good..only drawback to this prop is i’m only getting 5400 to 5500 rpms but at 57 mph. It appears to be acting more like a 22p prop and not a 20. I don’t see how going down to a 19p LT would give me 400 to 500 rpm’s to be where i need to be unless this current LT is actually off pitch. Back to the SWS II 3 blade for now until I get more info

Thanks Ed, I talked to Charlie and will try lowering the motor to see what that does, even if i’m happy with the results on the yamaha 3 blade I still want to have a spare prop and have had good luck with the bravo series in the past. I have to wait a couple weeks before I get back home to try it, will post results when I do.
