Re: Clutch engagement Anything over idle is not good.
Take it from me I just had to replace my input shaft on the lower unit and splined coupling. Both were rounded out. And I don't do it that often. 285 hours on the unit. At the shop where I get my parts they had boxes of input shafts and splined coupling that were rounded out. Its not made for that. _________________ 18' X 48" Center Console Sportsman Fab with a Yamaha F70LA 18' X 48" Center Console Sportsman Fab Dragging a 36hp ProDrive 15' X 42" Sea Arch with a 27hp ProDrive |

Re: Clutch engagement Idle should almost always be 1000-1300 rpm, depending on the setup. In most cases, 1200-1250.

Re: Clutch engagement Get out there and idle it down on the water as low as it will go before it chokes out under a load.
My 24 Honda won't go below 1200 very well, but I have friends with 23's that can go 800-900 _________________ CSM Custom 18x42 Battleship with a 36 PD beating you to the hole My Rig (Old Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=45193 (New Motor) viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54733 Stumps Fear Me |
