Just recently picked up a 1999 Sun Tracker 21' Party Barge pretty cheap, but needs some TLC otherwise pretty decent shape and motor runs good though troubleshooting a starting issue.
On this grey colored outboard which sez "Tracker" on the cowling and by Mercury. There's a sticker on the power head that sex it's a 40hp Force too. At the bottom of the shaft just above the cavitation plates on the trailiing edge, there's a sticker/lable that indicates 13 x 26 and 2.00:1. I'm thinking the 2.00:1 indicates the gear ratio of the motor? Does the other indicate the prop size as in 13" diameter x 26" pitch?
I would like to maximize the prop bite for this small motor on the boat. The prop that came with it is in pretty gnarley shape and I want to replace it, but can't find any part numbers or size info on it.
Also, what is the proper wide open throttle RPM range for this motor?
If the numbers above aren't what i think they are, then any info on this motor and/or boat would be greatly appreciated.
