I have recently purchased a Larson Senza 17.5 foot with this engine. A few quirks I would like to ask about. <br />1. The fuel often leaks out of the carbs<br />2. When engaging the Fwd/Rvse the gears chatter and sometime pop out of gear at low RPM. <br />3. High fuel consumption. Was wondering if a shifter prop would be advisable as the engine has lots of power. With transom up we are getting about 58 mph.<br />4. The starting ring gear is damaged. Any ideas what causes that.<br /><br />I bought the boat for a project. I re-upholstered the whole interior, polished the clear while fixing some road nicks, fixed all hardware and windshields, installed stereo, installed full instruments and love the handling of the boat.
