[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 319187, member: 9470"] Bigwave, it runs excellent, starts on the third pull from cold and on the first every time after. My only issue is the planing out. I'm sure that 2 blade 11 pitch aluminum prop is original equipment because the PO gave me an extra prop that was brand new, never seen the water and he said it came with the motor when it was new. I measured the cavitation plate in relationship to the bottom of the hull, it's **** near exactly 4" below. I put a piece of 1" square aluminum on the top of the transom and adjusted the trim angle to where the prop is at a 90 with the hull. I'm going to try that this weekend and see if it makes a difference. A little trial and error, try one adjustment at a time, ask questions to anyone with any knowledge, I'll get there. [/QUOTE]
