    Evinrude 40973R 40HP Selectric Shift - Slipping or Spun Prop Diagnostics

    Immediately above the propeller is the anti-ventilation plate(mistakenly called the 'anti-cavitation plate' for years). That plate at the speeds your boat motor are capable of should be level/flush with keel of the boat, or a bit lower. A picture taken level at the keel level would give an idea...

    Growth on Prop

    Fresh water growth feels slippery but will knock several miles an hour off the top end. I don't even want to imagine what Barnacles in salt water would do.

    I need to adjust some bunks to fit my boat to my trailer...

    Your trailer was a custom fit for a particular hull and thus not easy to modify. Myself, I would be cutting all the bunks and stands off and getting new brackets and only mount two bunks(2X6). Now about the 2300lb boat on a 6000lb trailer. First of all, you say the trailer is 18 ft, but your...

    I need to adjust some bunks to fit my boat to my trailer...

    Welcome aboard iboats First things first. Is the trailer the correct size and does it have the required capacity to carry your boat. What make is the trailer? Is there no adjustability in the current bunk mounting? Can the existing bunks be shimmed to raise them? does the bunk arrangement look...

    1963 Evinrude 40hp 40353D info

    Well, the fixed jet ensures adequate fuel, adjustable needles often end up too lean and the engine dies a horrible twitching death. I will admit the fixed jet is richer than an adjustable needle set for top rpm, but OMC may have determined that setting was causing issues. Instructions saying...

    Buying an old mirrocraft?

    We had a couple of 14 ft Deep Fisherman, one was a 15 in transom with a 25hp, the other was a 20 in transom with a 35 hp. Both were good boats, the only weak spots were how the floatation foam assemblies were attached June 1981

    Hard to get to plane when towing a tube

    Well a picture is worth a thousand words. You are nowhere near the keel, you are measuring off a setback( a built in transom bracket). Also explains the odd 18 inch transom measurement. The gray arrow points to the keel(bottom of Hull) Put the straight edge along on the keel(you may need a...
