Reply To: OMC 3hp Lightwin – JW gearbox- prop

I didn’t take time to wade through all the facts and statistics you mentioned. but it should be noted that JW and JH models are totally different purpose-driven motors.  JW, is, of course, the angled weedless drive designed for shallow and weedless waters inhabited by fishermen.  On the other hand, JH motors have straight 90 degree drive with larger/flatter props, designed for high thrust on larger boats.  Indeed, Evinrude named theirs as “Yachtwin”, suggesting sailboat auxiliary use.  Apples and oranges.
