How many inches is "several"? The AV plate should be just about even with the bottom of the boat/keel, maybe a bit lower, but not several inches….You could always put a small block under the transom bracket to bring the engine up a bit…
Yeah, no thermostats on these engines…They are based largely on the 35hps of the 50s which had no thermostat.
And yes, I agree about using the bronze props…I wouldn’t use it either, clutch dog wear could be accelerated shifting gears with the heavy prop.
