Just curious if anyone else has difficulty finding the full synthetic Pennzoil marine oil! Last year I was able to purchase it a WalMart but this year all I can find (at two different stores) is synthetic blend. :mad: I've been doing hours of research and found nothing online. None of the auto...
Okay finally got this thing out into the water and I came up with the following:
GPS 43 mph @ 6000 rpm
Boat specs: hull wt 800 lbs, motor wt 300, had approx 400 lbs passenger weight and stuff and 8 gallons of fuel.
Using a Mercury Vengeance 16P SS prop
Boat model: witchcraft banshee
Motor: 1978...
I was looking up weight info on my boat, but it does not state if this is just the hull, or hull and motor weight combined. I notice a lot of the boats on there are listed this way.

I recently bought a 1978 17' witchcraft banshee with 115hp merc. Just curious what size prop this merc would be able to turn. Currently it has a Mercury Vengeance 16P SS prop. The guy I bought it from claims the boat does 60mph but I'm calling his bluff before I even get it in the water...
I'm getting closer to getting this merc running again. She's trying to start but it's just not happening. So because I bought an extra used distributor, I decided what the heck, might as well try it. It's installed now and not really any improvement but I have a question. What are the chances...
How can I decode this prop number? I'm not sure this is the correct prop for my motor. It was actually on BACKWARDS when I bought the boat!
48-73136A 4 13P is the part number. What's the correct oem part number for the 1974 3cyl 650's? If it helps, my ser# is 4046610. I don't see this part...
I have a '74 Merc 650 that probably needs a new coil. I've noticed this part number (332-4895 T2)is difficult to find, whereas a similar part (339-7370A13) is readily available. Are these parts interchangeable or should I avoid trying to do this? :confused:
