[QUOTE="driz, post: 415798, member: 13373"] Yea, they don't go back to the 80's for my Merc either. Strange since there are so many 80's mercs around . l am not quite there yet anyways so it will wait a while. The one thing that drives me nuts with these engines is lack of a RPM gauge. That's the real determinate for a prop anyways, WOT range. I'm a gauge guy and hate not knowing RPM's Temp, and if applicable Oil Pressure. Without those you are always wondering with this old iron. As for the dent I can get most of it out. Lot's of the more simple end of body and fender works in my background so I know when to call it good. At least that cursed foam is gone so it can be gotten to. Who knows maybe by some stretch that dent will prove to be the reason that odd stream of water is coming off the drivers side and curling into the back of the boat. It's a stretch but makes more sense for my issue with that weird blade of water coming from somewhere down there wrapping out up and over into the back corner. [/QUOTE]
