Hey there, I own the same boat. Sounds like you need a complete tune-up. I reccomend draining and disposing of your old fuel. Only use high octane/ethanol free fuel. Do a complete oil change with BRP oil and filter. You can get this off Amazon (~$70). Go to your local auto parts store and get 3...
Thank you USMCDAD! I ended up buying the Bansbach AF040-024 for my 2005 sportster from grainger for $40. Install was a breeze.
1. Removed old strut which required removal of 1 of the 2 bolts used to hod the bracket.

The fiber glass is very thick in that area and it was very hard to drive the screws in there. That's actually why I chose to drill pilot holes. No worries on supporting larger units.

I installed the jetboatpilot thrust vector ( same model fits all BRP jet pump drives) my sportster recently. I can certainly tell the difference at low speed. I am a relatively new boater and was a bit nervous around the busy boat ramps in South Florida where there are a lot of expensive boats...
So I finally installed the garmin fishfinder on my sportster. Didn't take very long to fish the transducer wire to the helm and even shorter to wire into my fuse box. I was really limited to where I can mount it so I just used your recommendation.

Hello folks and thanks for posting just helpful information. Which transducers are you using? It seems all the transducers that come with these various 3.5-4 inch garmins are transom mounts. Are you using these same transducers in your hull?
