    Replacement Prop Selection

    The ratio can be on the drive but it's normally over time it wears off. The ratio is good for determining slip, but that's not needed to determine what changes should happen Going from a 19 to a 17 will increase your hole shot and also WOT RPM to within range Normal a boat would be pitched...

    Inaccurate Compression readings due to low battery?

    The short answers don't help but.... Same as I said, motor needs to be warmed up before running a compression test That said I'm not so worried about the high numbers (normal is max 150). So your seeing more then 150 which is not so much, it's probably just a gauge accuracy issue. IMO it...

    Verado Gen5 Stales

    It's fuel supply Reving in neutral burns very little gas. Shouldn't flood the motor with removing the cowling but you know your motor better then I. Mine is the V8 verado and the air intakes are high on the back Start slow and watch to see

    Inaccurate Compression readings due to low battery?

    Moved thread to Merc Always start a thread with what your working on, there are a lot of different ones. It's best to have the motor warmed up, throttle held full open then crank to take readings. With a cold motor I wouldn't need to look further into it. Put a couple squirts of oil in the...

    Pinion gear timing to driven gears in B3 upper housing

    It's best to remove shift cam to align the marks. Once drive shaft is installed, then reinstall shift cam.

    Verado Gen5 Stales

    Have you put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail schrader fitting? I don't know what the reading should be (don't have the manual) but what ever it is it should be steady. Service manual 8M0133008

    Does seem like fuel. I don't know your serial number but it appears the motor might have 3 filters. Reg Canister type (item 12) and out one (item 3) https://www.mercruiserparts.com/bam/subassembly/32751/16774/286 Then a inline (item 28)...

    I like white fish a lot, just about only thing I find in the store is tilapia and that's just not worth it. If I take fishing back up I can get plenty of blue gill, bass and others

    Rev 4 to something else

    Note Q PM'ed me with a vid of using a 17P Rev4 and 17P Mirage Plus. The M+ did better the R4 overall and for me that was surprising because my thought has been, 4 blade prop vs 3 blade means 3 blade should be 2 inch more to be the same. Now that said, the test did not use a scanner attached to...

    Rev 4 to something else

    To clarify further for those who may wish to know about Demand control and how it works when propping. Demand level is King, you want to see the Demand at 100% at WOT. This means the motor is giving everything it has and is not being held back This pic shows under prop. This has correct prop
