    Alright you 2 answer me this. Wide open prop slip should be a non factor because it is not hard to do. What about midrange, like planing at lower speeds. That way you don't have to pull tubes at 25 mph with small children on them, because any lower and your tube rope are caught in the wake. Or...

    82 Johnson 15hp wont start after run

    Did anyone change the waterpump after they pulled it out of the box? How are you trying to start it? If it sits for 15-20 minutes may need to use the cold start procedure.

    So you are mad they ran the mercury to the rev limiter ? But you are also mad they only ran the Yamaha to 5500 rpm it's recommended RPM? I am out you are gonna bash it no matter what because you didn't do it. I am excited to see where this prop goes.

    If they ran it to 5500 how is it on the limiter? Most Yamahas I have owned the limiter is at 6100. I just think you would find something to nitpick period. Once again Why are you not criticizing all prop tests? Especially since they are all suspect. I am still sad about the complete lack of...

    Well we know that the percentage is a lie Look at Dingbats post. So we can eliminate that. It's funny everybody ooohs and aaahs over Mercury's new V12 which really has nothing new on it. But something different has to be bashed and ridiculed. It obviously exists because the tests are out. So if...

    OOOOH MY GODDDDDDD here we go again. #1 There is absolutely a stock prop for a boat. That is why there are prop finders and Pitch is not a hard and fast rule. I have had a a 19" pitch SS Michigan wheel that my 70 hp could only pull to 5000 rpm. A 19' pitch OMC SST it could pull to 5800 rpm...

    99 Johnson 50hp 2cyl? Any good?

    Just the 2 cylinder motors had the weaker lower units.

    Not really you can find a lot of those with missing lower units.

    Minimum compression on 9.9hp 1986.

    Those were always cold blooded motors. I always grind the idle throttle stop back to allow more throttle for starting. Makes a huge difference.

    99 Johnson 50hp 2cyl? Any good?

    The 40/50/60 twins had weak lower units. If you find one broken more than likely the lower unit is the culprit.

    That prop is for people with disposable income. What does the Merc equivalent of your prop cost? Then add lab finishing to it and It's not $661. You need to understand that prop puts itself in the range of custom props not mass produced. If you look at those prices they are more inline.

    SHHHH you want to keep this a secret. Some people here are still in the affair fog with their Enertia propellers. It's like bringing a Vampire into the sun has to be done carefully so they don't explode.
