Re: [OMC-Boats] Fw: 4-bolt versus 5-bolt

Todd,

Nothing wrong with that you're doing at all Todd! Just use it and enjoy it! Your RPM range and speed are good, I'm not sure I'd change a thing! If you want, you can get your 16 repitched to 18 and have it cupped, like I did. Basically, get the right pitch, or something that is plus or minus two inches in either direction, and have it redone. It's fairly cheap.

I'm running all four bolt hardware, although I do have an extra five bolt lower end.

I'm running a 5-bolt upper gear case on my '67 reveller 155, with a 4-bolt lower. Took her out last saturday and she ran fine for about 2 hrs. solid, of hard running. Ran about 32 m.p.h. a little over 3000 r.p.m. Also using a 14x16 prop, all I got right now. Planning on installing a 14x18 soon as I can locate one. Is there anything wrong with this type of set-up.
 
Todd
