Re: Old Merc. 3.0L not 140hp?
Yes, I would agree it has been a lot of fuss over a 30 yr old 4 banger. I got my answer in the 2 & 3[SUP]th[/SUP] post.
I like a good sidetrack but this prop talk did go a while. I have been following along just to see if I could learn more about this engine. I know this whole prop discussion has nothing to do with how much hp an engine makes. Changing props just changes how you use the hp you have (holeshot vs top-end). I agree with those that say keep your wot in the manufacture recommended range.
I would not say I was ?stressing? over this engine. I just want to get all I can out of it and this is the place to ask questions. It has been said several times and I think it is good advice, ?that?s what you got an old 3.0L, run it and have fun.?
