Put a thread on the local forum to see what some of the dealers can do on a package deal for rigging. As for a prop i have a Rapture 14.25x21. I am thinking its too much pitch.
It had a tee in the water outlet hose that i assume was for water pressure. Should i keep it or just plug it?
As for maintenance i have already replaced the spark plugs, and i plan to change the lower unit oil and water pump, then clean the carbs. Still wondering about the oil injection. |
I found that a SS 14.5 x 17 was a good all around prop for my engine (1991 200 hp 2.5 Merc) It pushed my 2500lb 21' Cruisers, Inc at an honest 42-45 mph seemingly effortlessly. I still have that prop on my engine and will be using it when I put the engine on my V21 later this year.
I still have my OEM oil injection hooked up, and it works fine, but truthfully I was going to unhook it and run premix. After seeing that electronic unit I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get one. I figure that $500 is far better than several thousand for a new engine.
