[QUOTE="Lowrider1, post: 487174, member: 17989"] Thank ya Sir! I thought of alum irrigation pipe and guessed PVC would be less likely to bend in rocks. That's one reason why I went with the rubber bumpers. Not a lot of sand beaches in the mountains but lots of rock, mostly round and smooth but some will be sharp when land slides occur. I went to the 5 hp propane motor for weight mostly. I wanted a new 9.9 mostly so I can use it on other boats also. My old Merc 9.9 sorta died which was a great decision point for my wife to justify a new kicker...it worked but I went with the lighter and smaller one and my #1 son figured it was a good excuse to upgrade the 2 stroke to something closer to 15 hp. Haven't done it yet but am looking at directions and a parts list to get it done. Anyone that has a suggestion or two please let me know. [/QUOTE]
