    oil pump location on 90hp 2000 model merc

    The engine is 26 years old . I would remove the oil injection so it will last another 10-15 years.

    Mercury Tempest, Turning Point Mach 3 or Michigan Wheel Apollo?

    if you have a 16ft speed boat with a 135HP merc you are going to need a 24-25 pitch prop. i had a crestliner apollo 660 with th same engine and i was running a 23 turning point. It ran 51mph at 5900rpm. With a better hull thats lighter you need more pitch. just my 2 cents.

    update. ran the 22P stainless and the boat ran 47-48 MPH at 5500 RPM so right at the max. perfect.

    Can I put a 28 hp Johnson on my 14' Aluminum Sea King?

    we have a 14 ft springbok [now princecraft [that has had 10 to 40hp on the back of it. the boat was rated for 40hp in 1959. the last motor was a 25hp johnson with a 10x15 pitch prop and it did 32mph with one person on board. my bet is you can put up to 40 or 50hp on the back and it won,t sink.

    17 vs 19 vs 21 Pitch?

    I would look for a used 15 or 14.5X18 so your RPM,s will be right on the money. face book market place or kijiji. It will probably be stainless.
