I have a Mariner 15 and one of the prop blades is missing . It is one of the Japanese built Mariners and I have the serial number from the motor, and found some markings on the prop itself. On the prop I found 9 1/4x12-3 which I know is the diameter x pitch - blades. I also found another marking that said 639 and then had a 9 under the 3. I have talked to a few places in town and everyone gives me a different story and I would like to get the right prop. It looks like I will have to order it online, but I want assurance it will fit if I place the order. Is there anyone out there that really knows the Japanese Mariners and can explain them to me?
Also, along with the prop question is another. For pitch, does a lower or higher number give you more top end speed? I would like to go somewhere in the middle. I have seen them in a range from 7 to 12 for 15hp motors.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
