I have a 6 HP 4 stroke Mercury, I think its the same as the Tohatsu.
I find that it vibrates quite a lot at higher speed and I was wondering if I could change the propeller to one with less pitch to reduce vibration.
I use it to move my sailboat to get out of harbour. I usually have it at about half throttle.
High speed is not particularly important and I would welcome slower speed at the slow end if I could get it.
Would I be revving up too high if I put a different propeller on. Or would I damage my little motor in any way?
The world of outboard motors is a very mysterious one to me and I would be grateful for some advice.
Thanks
