    75 165 hp sterndrive question

    Haven’t looked at it yet. it’s a 3hr drive away. Going to be in the area next weekend. Hoping to look then. Owner says when he fits the key starter engages and when he lets go the engine rocks a little so I’m hopeful it is just the sterndrive.

    75 165 hp sterndrive question

    I am looking at getting a 75 slickcraft ss194 with a 165hp I/o. Owner clams last season he was using it and the sterndrive locked up. Motor won’t turn over and can’t move the prop either way. Boat looks in pretty good shape and priced right at $500. My question is are the stern drives easy to...

    Boat is slow

    Just got back started and ran pretty good. Wish my tach worked better. But went around the lake a little over an hr of run time. Has to be at wot to stay on plane. That's how it was before so other than it idling a bit lower nothing changed

    Boat is slow

    Probably. It is hard to figure out the manual I downloaded so I might take it in and have them fix it

    Boat is slow

    So fixed fuel pump. Kept it electric until I can order the parts. But after I got it running again I found out the timing was way off. I adjusted it at idle to about 6 degrees. It was adjusted all the way out. So it idles better and runs out better taking it to the lake to see how it does.

    S/n 50hp 2 stroke Mercury

    Can't fine where s/n is on this 50hp 2 stroke think it's early 80's or so. Have a 79 that I can't see one on that one either. The 82 40hp has it on the bracket that the motor turns on. Where is a good place to start?

    The 10.38 x 13p was too much pitch. I think Jimmbo is right 10 or 11 pitch. Trying to find a place online to see a chart or something of a recommended pitch but haven’t found one yet

    Boat is slow

    yeah I’m thinking about rebuilding it back to the pump on the motor. Po installed an electric pump instead of fixing it the right way. So here I am today stuck on the water with no pump. Motor is not perfect but does run good. Checked the compression yesterday it was 130 and 135. So just need...

    Boat is slow

    I get that. It didn't sound any different than it did with the other prop. I didn't run it for that long. Definitely didn't sound like it was lugging or anything. If the weather was better I was going to switch back to the old one. Have to save it until next time. Fuel pump quit on me.

    Boat is slow

    So I put that 10.38x 13p on it pulled great but I have no idea what rpm it was truly running at. I need to get a real tach this one that wraps on the plug doesn’t seem to be consistent. at wot at first was at 4250 and maybe that is right but a bit later it said 2400. So not sure. got a bit...

    Took the prop off of my 50hp it is a 10.38inch with a 13 pitch. Hoping that this will at least give me a starting point. Going to take it out tomorrow and see.
