Need more advice on the Aq131a/275

[jayinpa68]

My 87 aq131a/275 runs like champ. It doesnt overheat even on just a hose and its nice and smooth and quiet especially since the fuel water seperator was put on. My only slight concern is a small oil drip toward the front of the motor when its running. Dont know if its from the oil pan gasket or somewhere else. It doesnt seem to be running down the side like from the filter area or anything. Any suggestions on trouble shooting this would be helpful. When I say front of motor thats just where it is gathering under the oil pan and dripping off of it. Thanks

Like any leak, you'll have to get down there and find it. Clean the area up good and watch for it.

Good Luck.

Ok well thats what i figured on that. just wanted to ask and maybe someone had the same problem. The next question is one for the ages. Which prop to use? boat is an 87 bayliner 1950. I am mainly going to use it for cruising and some tubing possible and of course fishing. Any suggestions would be helpful.

You'll need #7 and #34 in this link.

You'll have to experiment with props. Do you have a prop for the boat now?
If so start with that one and see what you get for performance and WOT RPM and go from there.
