With a single rotation of the engine, it is next to impossible to tell the difference. You need to mark the prop barrel at exactly 12 o'clock, rotate the engine 2 full revolutions and the mark should be at exactly 6 o'clock if it a 1.50. If the mark is at 4:30 ish, its a 1.36. You should do this with the spark plugs removed to make turning the engine over easier.

Okey, thank you for your help!
The funny thing is that some people here in Sweden, when I show them pictures and they look at my prop shaft height they say it looks fine.
That it should be no problem with the drive that high.. Even if I tell them its a non step heavy V-hull.
They say that I should look at my propeller instead and fix it because that could be the problem.. but maybe they dont really know what they talking about..?
So its really confusing
