Picked up a boat second hand, and the previous owner had been nice enough to cut all the wires from the tach. Any help on how to hook it back up to a 1983 Merc 50hp or would it be worth while just to get a new tach.<br /><br />------------------<br />If it floats.........put an engine on it
I have a 1983 mercury 50 horse (serial # 6419128) on a 1976 16 foot trihull. I just picked up a prop on ebay part number 48-73134-a40-12. The prop I replaced was 48-73138-14. Besides the 14 vs 12 pitch difference what are the major difference I will see. I had very little hole shot and planing...
I picked this up pretty cheap and I don't know a whole lot about it but Im pretty good at fixing things up. I need to find out first what prop size is best for a 16 foot tri-hull for all purposes. Fishing, tubing, and hopefully a little skiing. Second I need to find out if it should pee all...
