    I would contact Mark Croxton. Make sure it’s the right thing to do for your prop and conditions. But can easily be done.

    Yes, he told me he could drill PVS holes in my Powertech Prop so I could use the Mercury plugs.

    Seeing you're in Canadia, maybe shipping to IN would be an issue? Would think there's some shop north of the border capable to do the job. Just seems Croxton is the go to guy above all others.

    But remember (I dont know what prop you have) but just drilling holes isn't making it a bravo xs
