    115hp 2 stroke and quick connects.

    Have you used them in larger outboards? Ive used similar ones on a 25hp outboard and worked fine, i but them on my 115 and they restricted flow causing bogging at anything over 75% of wot.

    83' 115hp Mercury, prop slip

    A few thoughts, First is analog tach, and gps speed is my set up. Second, so you're saying that a 4 blade would not be more efficient than a 3 blade? When you say:" Their efficiency and slip reduces hugely anything upwards of slow planing speeds" what are you even saying? Third, let's...

    Helix 7 g3n with a garmin/lowrance flow meter?

    Anyone know or have used a g3n with the ethernet adapter to a backbone nmea 2000 compatible fuel flow meter? I have a Helix 7 G3N and am looking into ways to get it to show my mpg/gph. Anybody got any ways to use it and not a new display?

    Gph at various rpm...thoughts?

    If it's a 115hp rated at the prop, then due to loss, the 115hp would go up, meaning a "125hp" crank would lose 10% and land to 115hp prop. So sure not the old 140hp but still thirstier than the "old" 115hp crank rated which is what we normally do the old 10% WOT gph.

    Gph at various rpm...thoughts?

    So, the rule of thumb is 10% of hp is WOT gph usage. I have an 83' Mercury 115hp with I'm told is the year they changed to different hp rating (at the prop rather than crank?) making my 115 more like a 140...meaning I "should" see about 14 gph at WOT. With all that said, does anyone have a...

    Nmea 2000 and gph display

    So, lets pretend i still want to know my gph. What would a guy need? Backbone=wire? Or Backbone is a device? So flow meter on fuel line. Then flow meter wire to nmea 2000 device. Done?

    Nmea 2000 and gph display

    So, I am searching for a display (preferably guage size) that would do gph. My set up is no existing NMEA2000 equipment or displays. All I really want is a gph display but it appears to be either expensive (over $500) or nonexistent. I have the flow meter on order (garmin gfs10) and just need...
