Advice on buying auxiliary engine please

[Pilgrim23]

Hi guys,
Sorry not replied earlier.
I broke down today on the A1 just North of Leeds, waited ages for Green Flag.
Jeff do you mean loosen the straps holding the sib on the trailer?
I took them off when I got home with the sib, just leave her on the trailer inside the garage.
Fenlander which R Clip?
Seeing as my X5 has problems with gear shift on auto transmission, it looks like I'll be able to strip floor out for a good nosey and give good clean before I can get her in the water, my wife's car no towbar...

The R-clip that is seemingly through the prop nut/shaft.

Yep that will pull out if fouled use a split pin as fenlander says very expensive if not and it will go when the s--t hits the fan more importantly

Looks like a Ny-Loc nut to me

>>>Looks like a Ny-Loc nut to me

Yep it does and looks to be missing the proper final spacer that would bring a correct castle nut in the right place for a split pin. The prop nut kit is usually like this for Suzuki OBs in that power range.

Never had a nylock on any Suzuki I ve owned possibly lost the original because of the R clip I know mariner have a special nut bit like an alko one shot nut. As I said re the floor worth going over the rig no one looks after a boat like you

Thanks guys for the help, really appreciate it,
Will sort tomorrow

[Pilgrim23]

Morning everyone ☕️
Fenlander, I've just ordered that propeller hardware kit.
Will change it as soon as it arrives.

[Pilgrim23]

Fenlander I think it was yiu, or maybe Jeff, who said about some photos under the hood, here are some I've just down.
So please give me your expert opinions guys.

Sorry guys, I've just noticed there all upside down, deeeeerrrrr
I did them on my iPad...

[Pilgrim23]

oh they look upside down on the thumbnail..but are ok once clicked on I think

[Pilgrim23]

I'm going to post a couple photos in my noob forum, with the Inflaters connections, instead of mixing it with engines, don't want telling off..
Would you please take a look, they look different to some I've seen.
Not sure if I have correct adopters for the pump I've just had delivered.

[jeffstevens763@g]

looks pretty tidy to me sticking my neck out i dont think thats done much in the way of use you're going to get bits and bobs in the way of wear even after a few trips i would be well happy to take her out on a long trip
