    Incorrect prop?

    My bet is its the wrong prop for that lower .. It probably has the correct spline count but the splines probably run the whole length of the hub which is stopping it from going any lower on the shaft. Not all props have splines the entire length of the hub OMC and mercury , mercruiser are...

    Mercruiser 3.0 Trouble Starting

    For starters you do have water going to engine right? Next when it doesn't want to start and you push forward on the controller are you getting 2 good streams of fuel spraying into the carburetor?

    Unidentified wire

    Just wanted to make sure The 21p 4 blade I was running 4600 rpm at 3/4 throttle so I didn't go wide open and the 19 pitch 3 blade I was running 4400 @ half throttle so again I didn't really test at full throttle.. it's my understanding that max rpm is 4400-4800 is that correct? The 21p 4...

But after a 30 minute run down river...
