Re: 1964 Johnson Tri-Hull restore!
Ok, just got back from tubing! Took the kids out for a couple hours. All went well. Except I just cant live with this prop slip problem, its worse when towing a large tube, I really think I need more down trim, with all the way down trim the outboard it still trimmed up doesn't even sit square with the transom, it chews through much more fuel I think cause its always running at higher rpm, if I go in a straight line for a bit then you can feel the prop finally bite in and the rpms drop by over 500rpm. So question is, I 5200'd the mount bolts in, and now with the thicker transom, if I put back in the wedge plates the top bolts are too short, so I need to put in longer bolts, so I guess just undo the bolts, but how to get off the residual so I can put in new stuff? I've heard the stuff sticks very well, and hard to get off.
Awesome. She rides very nice in the water. You get rid of that prop slip, maybe squeak a couple more mph out of her. Nice job, man, very nice.
