    Prop advise needed

    Hi all. Here is the deal. I have 16 x 14" 3 blade aluminum props on my boat, which is Wellcraft Monte Carlo. Twin 4.3 L 205s. WOT rpms go over 5000 (5100-5200). So obviously I'm underpropped.

    Nissan NSF2/3.5

    What is the difference between Nissan NSF 2 and 3.5? Is it possible to convert 2 to 3.5? In the manual the only difference is RPMs. Is it a different carb?
