    Engine choice

    OMC copied the Mercruiser key hole for the cobra. Assuming test drills show your transom is rot free, get a complete long-tail and bolt it in.

    Oil Analysis for high-hour 4.5L 250 HP

    look at the rotating assemblies...... racing buddy of mine has a 2016 merc 6.2 with a damaged block..... the rotating assembly looks a lot like the GM SBC 377/383 rotating assembly. Not sure on the 4.5. I suspect the same bore/rod combination, just a slightly different stroke.

    Windlass questions

    Usual scope of 5:1 to 7:1. :1 to 10:1 if it gets windy. So in 40', that is 280-400 feet of line and chain. In 100' of water, you will need up to 1000 feet of line and chain. At a minimum you should have 25 feet of chain

    Windlass questions

    How deep of water are you going to be anchoring in? What is your scope? How much chain will you be running? Then make sure your anchor locker will hold all that line and chain and have more than 15" from the top of the pile to bottom of windlass
