can I increase outboard hp?
a few years ago I was shown how to turn a 5hp merc into an 8hp motor
just by nbolting the exhaust manifold rotating it 180 degrees and reinstalling it. |

I took the mechanics word for it. It wasn't my motor and I didn't see
it in action . He did explain how and why he was doing it. How did you measure the horsepower?

whatever you want to believe I guess. Perhaps you have a better reason
for turning the manifold over. And how long is your leg now......... "Drew Dalgleish" wrote in message ... I took the mechanics word for it. It wasn't my motor and I didn't see it in action .
