    what is make and model?

    Understood, have a small tach that I did some testing on with the trashed prop that came with the boat. I know there will be a lot of testing to get as much "fun" out of this 50hp as I can. I just wonder how close I can get to figuring out what pitch I will need without buying more than a prop...

    Electric Boats

    I apologize. My intent was only to share something I recently was shown that I felt it applied here. Maybe it shouldn't have been shared on this post or topic. I didn't mean to start a debate on this thread.

    Electric Boats

    What I got from that was the point that just because it is electric, doesn't mean that energizing the battery is clean. Lets just ignore for a moment the environmental impact that improperly disposing of batteries causes, obtaining the minerals to create them or the pollution created in all...

The transom was sanded and painted, I can see swirl marks...

    understanding idle on 1971 Johnson 50 hp

    I seem to have found the issues with this motor. The idle would start having issues when the motor cover was placed on it, is seemed to be starving for air. The bolts connecting the power head to the exhaust housing looks like they had been replaced with studs and a couple of the nuts was...
