Re: expecting to much?

Re: expecting to much?

I don't have a book on the mariner. Its a magnum II how would I figure out without a manual? It came off a maxum which weighs a ton compared to the vector and guy said he got 60mph out of it. I've known him for a long time and he does exaggerate. [ Post made via Android ] http://www.hydrostreamforum...

Re: expecting to much?

Yep on the 110. It didn't have power trim and I had a trim set up which wouldn't fir so we machined a plate to mount to it which gives me 8" of set back figuring that might help. I'm more concerned with a prop choice for the 150 magnum when that goes on. [ Post made via Android ] http://www.hyd...

Re: expecting to much?

Well I cleaned carbs didn't seem to change much. Motor is a 1967 merc thunerbolt1100 with a Aluminum 21 pitch running at 5,000 rpm maybe a little over. Still only 41 MPH.

Re: expecting to much?

I know without really knowing the rs its hard to determine whats going on. Also it was only me @ 190# my two kid...
