    He says in his original post it's a 2000 gen 2.

    Gear Lube lines plugged with bolts from previous owner

    Hard to discern what you mean. Can you post a pic.

    Prop Selection - Bayliner 175

    Have you checked out the Mercury Prop Selector online. Might get you close. Turning Point also has one.

    Prop Selection - Bayliner 175

    Yes it will fit an alpha. Actually the Enertia ECO will even fit an alpha with a 16" diameter, hardly no room to spare but will fit. Not recommending it just making an analogy

    Prop Selection - Bayliner 175

    Quicksilver props are Mercury props marketed under a different name so they can be sold at retail outlets rather than dealerships (or something like that, I'm not a marketing exec). They are also sold without the hub kit, thus the lower price than a Mercury. Sounds like you need the hub so...

    Prop Selection - Bayliner 175

    Ageed, stay with a 3 blade for your application. Solas, Turning Point or Michigan would be good choices. Mercury props are great but this application you're not going to notice a difference to justify the added cost. Getting the pitch dialed in is the key. And as stated above it may be wise...

    Prop Selection - Bayliner 175

    That's a 4 1/4 prop meaning exhaust (at least a good amount of it) travels over the outside of the hub causing ventilation. This is at least some, if not all, of your issue.

    Prop Selection - Bayliner 175

    Need clarification. When you say it has a wrong prop and that it is a "flow through exhaust hub", 95% of props on the water today are flow through exhaust. Just wondering if you mean over the hub exhaust as in you currently have a 4 1/4" hub diameter prop installed on a drive that asks for a 4...

    Might be waterlogged. Soaked foam below deck carrying hundreds of pounds of water.

    Rotate Impeller on Occasion

    Yes turning the shaft every once in a while is a good idea. When I remove my I/O I grab the shaft and give it a turn in the off season. The vanes get compressed to one side but when the shaft starts spinning under power they tend to straighten out.

    Pitch perfect

    I think he's using the phrase "gear case" as synonymous with "diameter of prop hub", i.e. he has a 4.25" prop hub.

    Boat Pricing

    Need to consider the pricey options it has though.

    Is this going to be a problem?

    It looks like you bought a 4 1/4" hub prop when your motor requires a 4 3/4".

    Is this going to be a problem?

    Make sure the flared side of the washer mates up with the beveled side of the prop shaft, i.e. flip it over.

    A nice tip but it’s not about stern drive storage in the up position

    My port cylinder started leaking after 22 years this spring. Replaced with SEI, quick and easy.

    trim tabs

    Off topic but I don't think this applies to boating world. I'm very sure a single right hand prop tends to list a boat to port. This is partly why driver positions are on starboard. Agree with others, the OP needs to look at loading...or he could be water logged on starboard.

    Single point drain

    Fogging MPIs is such a PITA. No wonder I/Os are fading away. If you're relatively certain you'll be back on the boat is the spring I wouldn't fool with it.

    KY ABC Auction

    The bourbon craze continues. Plain Makers or Turkey 101 is as high end as i need.

    Trailer fit?

    Cut the remaining few inches off the bunks, even with the transom, as the part that protrudes may get in the way of tabs, transducers etc. that someone may want to mount.

    Engine size for Wooden Boat?

    Displacement hull and heavy. I doubt anything more than a 20 would buy you much.
