    Prop question for F225’s

    I wanted to see if anyone running f225’s are using four blade props? I have a pair of ofs4 17 four blades I’d like to use on my marlin 300 with f225’s, I just wasn’t sure if they would be too much prop or not for the setup. Figured I’d check to see if others have any input to share. Thank you

    Steering hose question

    I noticed on my marlin the bulkhead steering hose has a cracked plastic but on it. I haven’t messed with yet. But, I’m wondering if that nut actually tightens down to seal the actual connection between the metal steering line and rubber hose? Or, is it just more for the protective cover over...
