Mixing the oil?...do you have one of the Accu-Mix bottles...makes mixin' a piece of cake!!...$3.99...other name-brands work as well...

Re: prop survey
best thing i use is 20 oz drink bottles. i use a little extra oil since extra doesn't hurt the motor. i use one 20 oz bottle to every 5 gallons of gas.

Re: prop survey

Re: prop survey
threw on a new prop today. The boat came with a 15 1/2 x15,which works just fine. I got outta da hole real nice,cruise about 29-30 mph at 3900, WOT about 36-37 at 5200. I was really going for a spare prop so I stayed w/ a stock 3 blade aluminium 15x17. Little change outta the hole, picked up a little speed on the cruise and a little bit on the top end...RPMs stayed nearly the same on both [I thought they'd drop a bit] All in all, the 15x17 is now my prop,the 15 1/2 x15 is the spare.P.S. while taking my test run I got into HUGH schools of bluefish chasing peanut bunker,the water was completely boiling w/fish. All 2,3,4lbs. its fun ,but, after the 20th release I have had enough.Not my favorite quarry but they fight like mad.

Re: prop survey
I've never gotten that motor to 5500,which is my redline. Yesterday on my test run I was alone w/ about5/8 tank of fuel. I think I do have a little slack in my throttle cable, and also previous owner mounted the fishfinder directly in front of the throttle,so to get WOT I have to dismount the f.f. I don't run it WOT often so it's not to much of a nuisance.Also , had it trimmed out pretty far..could probably go a bit more on the trim but I've always been a bit cautious in the MAX trim MAX rpm mode...know whatta mean ?
