    Thanks for the help. New propeller should be here Friday. I did some searching on a 2-cycle oil and went with this...

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm so happy the boat gave me no issues, and the motor runs so nice. Hopefully the new prop eliminates the vibration.

    Yeah, the local shop wants $250 new and $100 to $150 used - depending on condition. . I took the prop off today and the shaft feels nice and tight in the lower unit - no play at all. But the prop has some play on the shaft itself - the fit is somewhat loose. . I guess I have a 13-1/2 diameter by...

    I'm thinking less strain for the motor will help the motor last longer.

    Regarding my propeller having a chunk broken off, I'm thinking I should get a new one because if it is vibrating from being out of balance, that could be hard on the lower unit. So, I don't care to go fast, so would a smaller prop, or less pitch be a good idea to lessen the load on the motor?

    Thank you! I'll temporarily disconnect everything except the motor for now, and make sure it is directly connected to hot and ground. For the daylight use I plan on using it for this summer, I only need the motor.

    Thanks, So, I should probably create a main ground wire to the fuse block under the dash that runs back to the negative post on my battery, correct?

    It was really fun taking her out for my first time. I didn't find any leaks. We stayed out anchored for at least 5 hours. . I did notice a weird electrical short where if you grab two different pieces of metal on the boat you get a little itchy type sting. I do plan on going through the wiring...

    yeah, looking at these pics, I can see the Suzuki doesn't have as steady of a stream as the mercury. The Suzuki needs to be deeper in water.

    Thanks for that. Yes, the barrel was clear full. That's after I turned it off. I need to raise the barrel some. But yes, I do appreciate advice.

    Everything is ready for her first trip since I bought her. Did the transom repair. Got both motors mounted with new impellers. Both run and shift great and pee good. I'm excited to take it out.

    Rod Holders

    Yes, I have a Fish On brand on my 12 foot mirro-craft. I just took it out and it fits fine in the mounting brackets in the pic above. Thanks.

    Rod Holders

    I have these mounted several places on my boat. Are these a very common hole that I can just order the actual rod holder and it'll fit in these?

    Ah, that is too bad.. that would have been neat to keep that 1958 sticker visible.
