    Can I install a newer outdrive?

    As Nola Mike and Scott06 said either 1.94 or 1.98 is what you want.

    Are wheel locks the way to go?

    They all have portable grinders with cut off wheels now. Even bicycle thieves.

    Hole shot, or up easy?

    I always advance the throttle to full in about 1 second and then once I know it's about to plane I start backing it off to my cruise setting. I don't like the bow up any longer than necessary.

    Causes for concern?

    I can't tell from the picture but if it is the exhaust bellows does it have to be replaced? I'm not familiar with these "newer" drives.

    Priming fuel system for new engine first start.

    I would fill the filter with fuel and pour a few ounces of fuel down the carb. And keep cranking down to 15 seconds with a break between tries.

    USB charger

    I've installed a few that are similar in boats and cars. They seem to work just fine. I've never installed the ones with the power switch though. I've installed mine on a circuit that's off when the key is off.

    Sterndrive

    Probably but I've never used one. I usually lay the drive on it's side and use a hammer and sockets to drive them out. If it's something I can get in a vise then I use the vise and sockets to press them out.

    If you removed the yoke assembly from the u-joint you could test the spline condition by trying to insert the yoke by itself.

    trailer wants

    What is the capacity of your current axle? If it doesn't "feel" right, maybe the tongue weight is incorrect?

    Ujoints can be deceiving. I've had them look good, but been bad.

    Test running my Mercury 90HP (outboard)

    As long as the muffs fit properly and you get good water flow you can run it as long as you like. You should not let it go higher than approximately 1500 rpm and then only for a bit. DO NOT rev it high while in neutral. Only when in the water in gear.
