    That would be great. I’ll check around. Thanks

    3-blade vs 4-blade props

    Got it. It's amazing how this system is set up. You need to have the proper prop for max RPM range at WOT but there's no way to determine without spending $150 a pop until you find the right balance. The only specs I can find for the boat is that it's 1800 lbs. It's an aluminum shallow V hull...

    3-blade vs 4-blade props

    Please remember I’m new to this so some questions may seem obvious to many. I say that because this is likely an obvious question I’m getting ready to ask. When you say “increase stern lift” is this for the whole time the boat is in motion? A friend says it has a supper strong hole shot, more...

    3-blade vs 4-blade props

    Thank you for your input. I’ve got an extreme over rev situation going. I have to watch the tach to avoid going into the limiter. That’s why I’m thinking the jump. I was thinking 4 blade because I read it will let me plane quicker and right now I’m not planing until close to 4k and 20MPH. From...

    3-blade vs 4-blade props

    I need a little help and advice from those who have swapped props. This is my first boat and I’ve been doing a lot of searching and reading as I know my current prop is too shallow. I also know that prop size is dependent upon motor and boat combination. Current equipment: 95 OMC Lowe 2200...

    Can anyone identify this sound?

    It's repaired. @racerone had commented about the clutch dog which got me looking at that prop. That's when we found it was not totally disengaging. I didn't have this issue when I reinstalled the lower unit after replacing the seals but here we were. My friend showed up in this process so we...

    Can anyone identify this sound?

    So, finding out that pulling out the play on the prop shaft eliminates the sound so we’re going to adjust the shift rod out a little.

    Can anyone identify this sound?

    Ok, I pulled the boat out of my shop and was messing with it before taking it to the lake. I feel neutral should be completely free spinning and no noise yet the prop would only spin clockwise while the controller is in neutral. I thought maybe it was because the motor was tilted so i let it...

    Can anyone identify this sound?

    I’ve got an email notification for your suggestion of seeing what happens if I reduce speed slowly, but I’m not seeing it here. We’re getting ready to carry it out in a few and Ill do that. When Googling about the noise, before coming here, it stated that a noise from the clutch dog was bad...

    Can anyone identify this sound?

    So that squall for a few seconds is normal? Just asking because I didn’t hear it before but I’ve only been on it once before the reseal.

    Can anyone identify this sound?

    Okay. I didn’t remember this on our trip before purchasing. I got ahold of a friend raised with boats and he’s going to go out with me. I’ll update what he says.

    Can anyone identify this sound?

    Good day everyone. I’m new to the group and new to boats and outboards. I have experience in engine builds, drag builds, and Jeep builds so I am mechanically inclined but an outboard I’ve never touched. I bought an old boat from a friend of mine that has a 95 130 Evinrude E130TLEOA. We took...
