    Want to add a 2nd set of gauges on my boat. Can you install 2 temp and oil pressure gauges in parallel? What about tachs?

    Seem to be nice smooth-running engines. Barely smoke at all and are pretty quiet.

    Recently installed a pair of new to me '05 175 Evinrudes. Launched boat, started engines w/ no problems, idled @ 650RPM after warm-up. Backed away from the ramp and was impressed with how well the engines idled and spun the boat when the engines were shifted in opposite directions. After...

    Caulk/Sealant

    What caulk/sealant is recommended for OB mounting bolts. Installing new-to me engines luckily I am able to use existing mounting holes and even maybe the existing hardware. So what type of sealant should I use?

    no, I never operated a boat with twin engine non counter rotating props. not sure how drastic a difference it would be and was wondering if trim tabs would negate the issue

    I hear you......thanks for that and following me! I have been wanting to upgrade and at the moment this seems like the best deal. I have looked into ox66's and the $$$$$ are crazy for 20 year old engines. I know this idea sounds crazy but I may need to try it. Looking at the gauges from these...
