Many questions, I'm kinda new so please be kind:
1982 Chrysler 85 hp (858h2f) 15' Galaxie Tri-hull
1.) What is the function of the reverse cone shaped part just behind the prop? It has broken out aroungd the shaft and is flopping so I need to replace it...
2.) What if any issues are there from running without the prop nut - the cone shaped peice at the very end of the shaft?
3.) The motor ID plate says 85 Hp @ 5100 RPM - the boat runs very close to 5100 RPM @ WOT - this is good - right?
4.) What is the point of the power trim for and how do you properly set it? Adjustments make little to no difference up to the point where the prop breaks out of the water. Is this because the boat is so small? Or do I not understand what I am trying to do here?
5.) The throttle (cable type) has a large dead zone near center and must be pushed past horizontal to get full speed - I assume I can adjust this? Any tips or tricks?
6.) The fuel guage does not work - anyone have a schematic? I assume it is just two leads to the sender and a power lead - ho do I tell which are which on the guage - it isn't marked (a chrysler guage).
7.) The boat turn MUCH better to the starboard side than to the port - release the wheel and it goes right in a hurry. Steering cabels well lubed, no binding. and ideas?
