Its probably a 1.50 gear ratio. Doubt it would be a 1.36 what pitch prop are you running?

i was running a 23p rev 4 at 4800-4900rpms trimmed out.i cant spin the motor and count the rev. b/c i the reason i am replaceing the drive is i hit some rocks with the drive and cleaned it rite off the back of the boat . so now there is no drive on the boat just a broken transom ass. i am getting ready to order a new drive and transom so mybe if i am lucky i can sneek one ride in b4 winter. thanks for the info guys
