I took a step back and put my boat in the shop and sent my prop off. Nothing wrong with the motor really, but wanted to go ahead and get carbs rebuilt with new bowls and tilt/trim rebuilt due to the intermittent hanging up issue.
The prop will be back tomorrow, and will have the boat back at the end of the week. On the prop, Mark repaired, balanced and blueprinted, and returned the cup to specs.
This weekend we will be dialing it in, hopefully for good. One of my original problems was not being able to hit 5500 without trimming to max trim. If he repaired the cup that was worn to spec, will that make it even harder to reach the 5500?
I know that raising the jackplate will allow the motor to spin up more, but I believe we already determined that I was teetering on being too high.
Thoughts?
