It is a VERY Black film , covers whole inside of prop. Like to much oil being burned

He only runs...
Price drop..$130 or trade for zodias glass cranking rod.
Yes I did suggest to go to a 23 tempest plus. It's not as easy as ordering a great manufacturers prop. You need to get your rpms up.
I do not have experience with other props just what we did with...
My buddy has same boat only 2002 he now runs 60 with a 22 tempest to get his rpms to 5700 and not lug the motor
we started with changing from 8" to 10" jack plate. RPMs did not change but speed...
Please Delete... found one
Just never used it.. no marks or scratches...
New is $189... how about $140 TYD
Let me know... perfect is not essential if price is right.

I don't think the block is ruined. it ran on 5 cyl to get me in and makes no noise when cranking it. Shook allot on way in
tested and 0 compression on #1....

Lost compression cyl #1
Found a 2002 optimax my same year) only it has a 25"...
My friend just went thru this...it was a leaking hose from the deck fill.
He put a cap on the tank and all is good.
Hey, my friend has a 225 opti... replaced thermostats with after market....
They warm up to 130 but when running ( water temp 44) the temp goes down to 90 degrees
IS THIS BAD to run an opti that...
Yes this is what I discovered also. Mine was around 2 o clock that made me happy and I still had straight reverse and a little more.. NICE....:smile:
Thanks all... sounds like the solution
On my LS screen I have a play/pause selection bottom left on screen
I hit pause when I am moving to a new location.
Not sure if this helps....
