Outbnut2.. Good points… thanks. My 6hp will be used for mostly trolling and hopefully never… to get me back home if the ETEC breaks down

I am not planning to row that rig back to shore if the ETEC konks out . that little 6hp may also vibrate a bit less than the 1966 9.5 which did not come with vibration dampners found on later version.

I kind of fancy this nice find over my turtle because it will sit a bit higher out of the water . I am always worried a big chop will flood that low sitting 9.5 … not that it has happened yet but I have been in rough enough waters to crack my oil tank (bad seams) on my ETEC a few years ago although at he time I did not have the 9.5 riding along the big guy.

F.R. You are correct, that 9.5 prop was in fact a "spare prop" purchased for my 9.5 because a local dealer was dumping his OMC/BRP stock of parts and the price was ok for me. Props are not cheap up here in free Medicare land.

i’ll get some last pics out with the finished electricals . the gearcase had clean oil, no mono spun into the prop shaft seal 🙂

lake trials can only start late April 😥
