My new 1980 ran good. 55.7 mph with a max rpm of 5200. Rpms seem a little low but it might be motor positioning. I measure 5 1/4” prop to pad. Second hole from top.
One of the compression locks broke in half. It appeared to have been glued together after breaking previously. I’ll have to order a new one I guess.
The wire in the drain plug pulled out the plug. I think the screws holding the plug together weren’t tight all the way and I think I fixed it good.
The ice chest will not drain water at all. I’ve hit it with compressed air and tried to stick wire down it but there seems to be a 90 after about 3” that I can’t get passed. Not sure what to do about this?
The boat ran smooth and hole shot is good. Not sure if my motor needs to be raised? Anyone know what prop to pad should be? It’s a Merc 150four stroke.
