I'm usually pretty good at propping boats. If the 17p 3 blade doesn't work may wann try a 2 blade plastic trolling motor prop if you can find 1 to fit a bravo.

Definately an improvement over Budman's electric pump. With that combination I would think the pinto pump would work. I do have an old marine pump off a 1967 2.5 iron duke if that would help the guy out. It was a 110hp 2.5 so I would think with that combination the pump I have would be very close.

As an aside- who makes a good compression tester? I don't feel paying snap-on/matco prices.
