    I would say if you normally run heavy (friends onboard) then stick with the props If friends don't come often and your ok with being able to take off a little slower, then the 22's will drop WOT to around 4800. Cruising at 3800 or 3600 will not change the fuel burn and the motor has no issue...

    At 3800 rpm your slip is 27%, not great but typical for a heavy cruiser S/N shows as Scott mentioned 5000 is max WOT and should have no issues turning it If slip is decreased so will max WOT

    Alfa 1 gen 2 sterndrive install issues

    You should not turn bar with your fingers to see marks, it's just push in and pull out It does not appear the tool is going into the coupler, otherwise there would be marks if not turned, or cleaned off if rotated while inserted A new bearing is real tight. Alignment tool needs to be moved...

    Anchor suggestions

    Being 18 footer the 10lb should be enough to hold. It should also have at least 10 ft of chain, 15 is better. The chain keeps the the anchor digging in and a plow type would be best for soft mud or sand bottoms. Also need enough rode let out for at least 3 times the depth, and more as current...

    2004 Chaparral Sunesta 216 engine not starting 5.0 L

    ^^Agree If that doesn't work, and don't know if it's a MPI or TBI but if you have a schrader valve to test fuel pressure, press in on it to let air out

    GM EST Distributor Kit and Mercruiser Shift Interrupt Switch

    The interrupt switch is normally open and closes when shifting into neutral. It needs to send 12V when shifting to cause ignition to stumble. Don't connect it to ground

    Are Force OBs as good as others?

    ^^Agree but will add, Force like Chrysler (same motor) are still running today. If taken care of it will need next to no repairs other then maintenance items. Maintenance items can still be obtained
