Maybe but this guy works for $ 25 and I imagine that if the owner
didn't need a new prop he'd be ****ed

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.........

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?

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.
