    I have a 2007 Honda 4 stroke 75 HP that won't idle in neutral and bogs down when you give it throttle. I checked the plugs and there is spark on all. Also checked for water in fuel and there is none. Any ideas are appreciated.

    Cableas Yami to Rude rehub?

    I found a cableas prop for 50 bucks... I'm wondering if this Cabelas Hi performance prop (All V-8, V-6 Outboards & Sterndrives) #C341419 can be re-hubbed to fit a V6 Evinrude(late 80's). If it can this should be a good deal. Thanks
