Re: I have angler issues

[wedgie]

quote Mumbles:

Your Angler is a detuned six horse matched up to a JH style lower section. ME doesn’t show a stat in their diagram but I think it should be there. The carb and manifold bores are a lot smaller than the six horse ones and I’m sure this is how they got them down to five horse. After searching for ages, I finally found a correct prop for mine at the boneyard up in Campbell River.

Don’t do what I did once though. For my missing prop, I did some machining and adapted an old CD or something prop to the LD. Standing back and admiring my work, it suddenly dawned on me that the motor needed a left hand prop and I had fitted a right hand prop to it! 😥

I did that with a Scott Atwater once, and didn’t notice until I was on the water going backwards in forward gear 😆 .

I will take the tstat cover off and see if there’s one in there or not.

Thanks Chris ! The prop is supposed to be an 8 inch diameter and a 7 1/2 inch pitch and a 1/2 inch prop shaft. I do have (from a 3432r Yachtwin) an 8 inch with only a 4 1/2 inch pitch that fits. running with this would cause it to over rev correct?

I am going to have to get a whole bunch of coils and gaskets and seals etc in the near future. Better cash in some of my overtime. 🙁
