Re: Merc prop 68-70 vintage

[anotherhassel]

Ok so I tried the test. The prop didn’t slip. Is it possible it is only slipping when the hub gets warm under a load? I am gonna try to run the boat tomorrow. This is my duck boat engine and I love it. I need this boat to run right. When it was running correctly it would plane my 10 ‘ jon on plane with me in it 235 lbs and so light gear. I had 105 lbs compression on the cylinder. So I would assume that the engine is healthy. Can’t pull the engine with the recoil stater as it is in the hood so it was done with a drill.
