[AT] WAY OT... Boat motor help

[Brad Gunnells]

Dave, if you look in the yellow pages for your local dealer I'd bet 
they have it on the shelf. I did a 1966 9.5hp motor a few years back. 
They had the kit on the shelf along with the prop shaft seal. I don't 
think it was too badly priced (or at least it didn't leave me with a 
bad feeling when I left).

There are also sources on the net http://www.iboat.com that have parts 
and things online. They have ways to look up parts online.

Can't help you on the prop pitch. I've changed mine on a larger ski 
boat. Less pitch will make it pull out of the hole quicker but more 
will allow me to cruise without turning the RPM's. So it depends if you 
want to try to pull a skier or tube out of the water or just cruise.
