    Anyone here ever heard of Lochridge brand stainless boat prop? It came with a boat I purchased and needs a new hub kit installed. Problem is I can’t find anything on it online. If you know of these please point me in the right direction. Thanks to you all.

    Yamaha 40 MSHQ stroke looking for repair manual

    I have a 1992 40 MSHQ Yamaha. The only repair manual I found and downloaded says it covers my model along with others as well. The manual shows only 2 cylinders. Mine has three. I’m about to do the carburetors and they are definitely different when I look at disassembly and reassembly.
