    I picked up a boat just for the motor, it has a healthy 260 mercruiser in it. But I'm wondering what could have hapened if someone had bought it to put on the water as it is. I mean, it didn't look bad at all, but there's no wood left in the transom. On an outboard the weight and torque of the...

    Noisy river tonight...

    It's -15*C (or 5*F for the lower 48) tonight. I'm used to the sounds of the ice cracking as the pressures build up on a lake but the river is so different and even though it not my first winter here the sounds are still keeping me awake! I couldn't even begin to describe the sounds I'm hearing...

    prop ID, help.

    Is there some site somewhere that somebody could just enter the numbers off of a prop to find out what it goes on? A buddy of mine just dumped a bunch of parts on me and there's a 14" aluminum prop, 15 spline, # 1470 on one side and 18172 on the other.

    What prop do I have???

    I recently got a 16' J-Craft with a 1990 Johnson 100GT. The aluminum prop doesn't look OEM. It has a curved edge to it, kinda looks like it has more pitch at the end of the blades. There are two sets of numbers stamped on it. 71677 and OP136291. It's a three blade and looks to be close to 13"...
