    Older SS prop I spoke of. You can tell it's been worked on.

    Propeller advice

    I do have an old 3 blade, SS and I do think it's a 14x19. I'm assuming this is the OEM 26 years ago. I ordered the mounting hardware for it, so I might give it a go before I put it up for the winter and see what happens. (According to my tach, I'm hitting 4800 rpm with this Amazon prop...

    Propeller advice

    I'm sure it is. The whole reason I came in here to ask for opinions. The main lake I go in is quite deep .... So I'm thinking stainless. I just wanted to see what others thought. But to be honest I don't want to spend $1k on a Mercury prop. I'm more of a bang for the buck type of guy.

    Not sure about the diameter and pitch about the 4 blade, doesn't say on it. It was horrible. The boat stock came with a 3 blade 14x19 from my research. I was able to get my hands on that Amazon prop quickly, so I went with that for now. It's not doing that great so I'm just trying to get...

    I have no idea. Lol. It had a 4 bladed prop on it that was in bad shape. Had bad water burn on it and I just didn't like it. A 3 bladed STAINLESS 14x19 was in the boat as well.... But it's definitely had work done to it, and can't tell a thing about it as far as brand, etc. But I was able to...

    Hey y'all!!!! I wanted to come on and thank you so much for the help. I ended up replacing the fuel filter, both fuel pumps, then the fuel regulator, vacuum hoses and was still having issues .... Just would die immediately after put it in gear in the water...... Finally, after talking to a...

    1996 Penta 5.0Fi and SX COBRA

    Yes.... It ran pretty much the same. Low pressure pump has been ordered. While the gas in the filter looked like crap, but the gas I drained out of the tank looks clear. The pumps do have screens in the bottom, but I was surprised it was clean. I'm hoping this is the issue.... I'll see and...

    Well this has been what my next step is. That's with a clear line going straight into a gas can. But how's the dang thing running? Lol. Maybe The low pressure pump out and the high is trying to suck it up? I remember when I ran my high pressure test, it was not immediate. It took it like 45...

    1996 Penta 5.0Fi and SX COBRA

    Not exactly sure how. But I'm wondering about this. Because it took like 30 seconds to build up to 32 lbs..... Was def not immediate. And this was while running.

    I've answered several. Doing that as I'm finding them out. I just answered your question about the fuel pressure. I haven't checked compression yet . And I answered your question to if it's new to me. Why are you saying that I haven't?

    1996 Penta 5.0Fi and SX COBRA

    Found the problem. The filter was powder white gas (ethinol).... Changed it... As well as a better fuel line. But put a pressure test on it.... 32 lbs is the best and takes a minute to get there. Where would y'all go from here? I'm not sure this one has the fuel screen??? I know Volvo...

    It is pretty new to me. 1996 Chris Craft concept 21. Has good compression, etc. I've had it running long enough and gets up to 40+ quickly when i can get it going.
