Re: Raised the Motor...
Thanks, guys...the spray is shooting in a V from the front of the motor's lower unit...prior to raising it was quite a lot of water...now it's just a small stream...I'm almost willing to live w/it, but if raising it one more notch will eliminate the streams and maybe add a little performance without blowin' out, then I gotta at least try ...
The prop remains the frustrating part...these numbers are w/a Mercury Mirage 15 1/2" dia. x 17 pitch...GREAT, but it's a heavy prop and causes lower unit noise(rattlin') at idle speed(trollin') and sloppy feel to shifter...these problems go away with a smaller(lighter) prop....next try is a Honda prop; 14 3/4 x 18...the hope is this one will get the numbers w/out the problems....17 pitch Honda got nowhere near those numbers....
Probably more than you wanted to hear, but there it is... :D
