I cringe every time I hear you change Forward to Reverse and back.,,,,, 32 pitch, ouch. I read a thread of a LU rebuilder and he said 90% of gear/dog failure is from changing gears.

He's in R when he comes off the trailer and kills the engine to change gears about 3:44. ua-cam.com/video/57CXKOCWvVI/v-deo.html
@@mitseraffej5812 Yes it is. The splash from the cooling water stream can be seen when the boat is going at slower speeds throughout the video. It shoots out a long way behind the motor. Besides the motor would have overheated, alarmed and shut down with no water flow with how long it was ran.
@@mitseraffej5812 I can't see right if it has a low water pick up holes on the nose cone anywhere. I am not seeing the hose that usually accompanies the LW pickup. He probably has a water pickup mounted on the hull that feeds the outboard cooling water.
Almost all of the lakes in the Canadian Shield are tannic like this and have all kinds of fish types. At least the water isn't full of floating blue/green algae pads that stink like rotting vegetables.

Based on the test it looks like your engine height is good but you should avoid running your outboard in root beer.
Mmmm! Yum yum!😂
Looks great! Transom water pickup would absolutely perfect this setup. Height is dialed in!
Insane how the prop works @ half in the water. What is that top speed?
Any chance of a side shot further back to give a better perspective of outboard height next to boat
The prop shaft was 2.5" above the bottom of the boat. It had a 10" jackplate/setback. I no longer have the boat
What motor is this? Shaft length? Thanks
Where you by this gearbox and how much for 150hp etec?
It is a mercury sportmaster lower adapter to the evinrude
Where is the water intake located??? Looks like it may be drawing in lots of air instead of water?? Alan in London
It's on the bottom in the front by the point. Google mercury sportmaster lower or "low water pick up"
What kind of boat and prop?

Boat ran 107 mph. This is very common on tunnel boats to run the engine this high. The prop is a 15x32 pitch

Neutral safety is bypassed. This motor idles at 600 rpms. Less damage is done by shifting when running than cranking in gear.
lots of HP and nasty water
Engine doesn’t look to be getting any cooling water.
Piss hole is straight out the back on etecs. You can see it in the beginning of the video.
sdvten . But not when it’s up and going.

sdvten. Half the gearbox is out of the water. I can’t see where the water intake is. Can you identify it for me?

You water pick up on the cone is out of the water need to lower about a inch!!!
I had plenty of water pressure motor did not over hear. Boat ran 107mph in this video.
Echnie.
Disgusting looking water
Lol....Florida lakes
