Job number one. Remove that freakin jack plate, and NEVER let your boat see it again. That poor old motor ain't got a chance with that thing

Does it have power trim?

[steve3340]

Jack plate is for the 150 which is going on in 2 weeks. Yes the 110 has power trim.

Did you say you have 8" of setback?

[steve3340]

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.

You murdered the 110 with the setback, but if you're changing the motor soon, not much point in flogging that one.

The 150 will like a 28 Chopper, and will only need a little setback (2-4")

[steve3340]

So the 4" jack plate will be good just need to find a prop. Yeah I figured it really wasn't worth spending alot of time on the 110. It got me going when I had no motor. Might keep as a spare or sell and keep an eye out for something newer for a spare.thanks for the prop info

That prop advice also assumes a 2:1 gear

[steve3340]

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.

Mark the propshaft, rotate the flywheel twice, the propshaft should rotate exactly one turn if it's 2:1.
