I have been reading that they now calculate H.P. different now, prop rather than flywheel. So what does my 76' merc 120 relate to now at the prop? 100hp?
Any tips or tricks to installing a new mani? Should I install the riser to the mani first? Is gasket sealer required on the riser or end plate?<br /><br />Thanks

Is it possible to run a 12 volt trolling motor on 24 volts? What componets would you have to change , if any? If you run 24 volts , the amps would be less, right?
