I just bought my first boat, and it has twin 1992 Johnson 140's on it. both have new powerheads within the last 3 years. They run great, but I was wondering if there was anything in particular that anybody thinks I should be aware of, watch out for or pay special attention to, etc. Also, what octane fuel should I use?

Also, on one of the motors, when I put the shifter back to neutral from forward, the prop still turns a bit, but if I go down into reverse and then come back to neutral it stops. Any best guesses as to the cause?

Thanks.

the exhaust exits thru the prop, normal for the pressure to make them turn. lower unit oil, tale tell stream. 87 octane fuel.
