Fitting low water pick up to outboard engine

[phillnjack]

you must have a different gear ratio to me. My engine has a 2.42 gear ratio i think !!!!
if my engine did 7,000 rpm with a 24 inch prop with zero slip it would only run 65.7mph
But mine im sure is limited to 6,000 revs, so that prop (if my engine could swing it)would
give 56.34 mph with zero slip !!!!!!

i realy dont have any low end torque problems with this engine, its like power all the way through.
But ofcourse ive not tried to swing a bigger prop than the 19 sst that ive got on there at the moment.

phill...........
