    1985 140 Johnson looper 20 degree temp difference between port and starboard

    13% between expected (53) and actual (46) performance. Could be a bad or mismatched prop. Have you run a prop calculator on each prop? OE lower unit?

    1985 140 Johnson looper 20 degree temp difference between port and starboard

    When was the last time you changed the impeller. I get close to 30 psi with a fresh one. Not possible for the rpm to increase w/o a change in speed unless the props efficiency changes Having said that, aluminum props can and do wear out over time

    Issue with gas tank being too large

    The obvious answer is to buy only as much as you use in a season. Makes no sense to buy more than you need in a season then store it. I’ve stored whatever is left in my 92 gallon tank at the end of the season, typically 30-40 gallons, for the past 20 years. 50/50 if it was stabilized or not...

    Fuel Stabilizer Question

    Are all your other vehicles modern 4 stroke outboards as well? Seafoam is basically naphtha and isopropyl alcohol. Guessing they're worried about it fouling the emission control sensors. I don't know if it will actually mess up the sensor(s), but why risk it while the motor is still under...
