    Mercruiser 120 rotor problem

    New rotor came in the mail yesterday along with other parts from here and the rotor would not fit. It fits onto the shaft itself but doesn't seat itself at all.

    Tire size question

    Lurked for a while and now I have a question. I have F78-14ST tires on my trailer now. That is a 205/75R14 right? My other question is can I use a 195/75R14 instead as I can get a set for free? TIA:)
