    Prop pitch for 150xp crossflow on pontoon

    Ive seen plenty of toons with that size and bigger motors. This just happens to be the one I found for a good price. During the motors teardown I talked to a retired marina owner and was told it has been done plenty of times just gotta reinforce the transom and move a little of the weight out of...

    Prop pitch for 150xp crossflow on pontoon

    That is the goal. Have to just figure out the correct pitch first, tried the wrong pitch on a different outboard before and it robbed me of almost 1000 rpm and nearly 5-6mph.

    The motor is being rebuilt from bare block so the compression will be like new.

    Prop pitch for 150xp crossflow on pontoon

    I know this is a subject that will get a lot of different answers but that is the point. Am in the process of repowering the 24' pontoon as well as adding new pontoon logs. Biggest question is which prop is gonna be the happy medium. This motor came with a 14 1/4" x 26 SS prop and went ahead...

    84 Evinrude 150xp piston ring gap.

    Took it apart due to how long it sat and yes there was a little rust on the spark plugs when I checked them. You can always trust what a spark plug tells you, just a tiny bit of rust in a few of the cylinders. I have a machine shop available to me through my job and I'm glad I did take the...

    84 Evinrude 150xp piston ring gap.

    24' lowes. I already reinforced the transom last year to prepare for a bigger outboard just had to find the outboard. Now that I have, the SS prop that came with it is a $600 prop and for a 18' ranger that cracked 50mph on a normal basis. The 70 hp that is on it now reached 22mph max but it...

    Excellent thank you!!! I knew someone in here would have that specific info. Now I gotta figure out prop pitch and my pontoon will be hauling a$$ across the lake next season.

    84 Evinrude 150xp piston ring gap.

    Yes of course. Already have it stripped down. For the length of time it sat as well as the fact it was used in salt water I wouldn't just want to try to fire it up and hope everything goes well.

    84 Evinrude 150xp piston ring gap.

    Just picked this thing up and was an amazing barn find. Hour meter said 137.2 and it must be correct cause the only guy that owned it used it for a bit then just left it to collect dust. Even saw the original bill of sale. Just going through it for safety sake and cannot find the std piston ring...

    1990 Johnson 70 hp no spark

    Greetings, I recently started using my Johnson after a full rebuild on it and out of nowhere it gave me some issues. Out on the water on wot it suddenly cut the rpms in half.
