So I got a dp lower unit advertised as 1.95:1. I know I should have had the guy double check! Lesson learned. Turns out its 2.3:1. But can I make this work with my 305? Using different props
Would that mean I have to put a higher B series prop on it to make the engine spin slower to account for the higher ratio? Is it worth while to replace the gears in it to make it a 1.95:1? It was was a repo and got it for a good deal
The gear set alone is $1800, then you need bearings, seal kit, and 4 to 6 hours of reshimming, rolling torques, and gear pattern checks to get it right.
