Yamaha 225

Thanks Brett! This is really what I wanted to hear. A 5 mph loss is a lot for us boat crazy dudes... I got to think when the blades of that Maximus flex so much that it hit the shower pick-up. What about the propshafts and the carrier bearing. Do you think they will allow for some play/slack so that can causethe collision aswell? And what alignment is the ideal for the "toe-in" (don't know what it is called on boats) of the drives? I understand that this should be re-adjusted when changing from running inwards to outwards. Or should it be set up for specific driving conditions... (For example sharper turns vs. highest top end speeds etc.)

Thanks for great information!!

I guess my blades were pretty "laid-back"....... :-)
