    2014 4.3 liter TKS bogs after running 35 knots for 45 minutes.

    if going to a 4 blade, adding a blade, will drop your RPM. I would drop down in pitch to bring your RPMs up. you are currently at a 3-blade, 21p. I would shoot for a 4-blade, 19p. work with your local prop shop. they may have a prop for you to try.

    1989 3.0 Alpha 1 questions

    Highly recommend pulling the drive and checking alignment, and replacing the impeller and bellows. Rubber parts only last a few years regardless if the boat sits or is used. A failed impeller will ruin more than a weekend

    Exhaust bellows needed.

    You don't need a bellows there (no movement) You just need a rubber exhaust hose Go on ebay. Buy a high-temp 4-ply nomex and silicone turbo hose in the size you need 3" x 2.5" is a common jump size
