All.. Hope you can help me out a bit. First off, the motor I have run's well, but doesn't push my 14 footer much faster then 9 MPH. Not a very heavy boat (old sea king). I've fiddled with the trim etc.. No improvement. It's a 2 blade prop. Would a 3 blade improve my speed and if so, where can I get a used one? Also, I've noticed that my fuel consumption is extremely high for the distance I travel with it. I'm talking about a gallon to a mile. Is this normal? If not, what do you think may be the issue with me burning so much fuel?
