I just picked up a new to me 2005 Sanger V215. I'm pretty excited. I've loved this model since the day I saw it. It was garage kept its whole life and one owner. Took it out Friday for its test drive and it ran great. I attached a few pictures below. I also have a few questions.
The first is that the speedometer doesn't work. It was the only gauge that didn't work. The needle would go up on accelerating and too fast of a rate and then not drop down after you slowed. The needle would reset after turning the ignition off but do the same thing. The dealer said it sounded exactly like something being stuck in the sending tube which is extremely common. So I need to blow the tube like. I disconnect the tube at the pickup sensor and the other end at the gauge and use an air compressor? There appears to be two pickup sensors in the back of the boat, are both used for speed?
The second is that I think I want to re-prop this for more low end pulling. The boat had plenty of power but felt a bit sluggish right out of the hole. The motor is a 350 mag MPI, 315 hp. What would the recommendations be for that?
The stereo is all aftermarket on this and has (4) 5 1/4" speakers in the boat but in what I think is factory locations. Does anyone know if 6.5's will fit? I plan on doing a wetsounds setup in the future. What are other V215 owners doing for speaker locatiions?
