I have an Airmar B164 mounted just port of the keel stringer, just a little forward/under the tranny. Basically the same spot as the raw water intake, just on the opposide side of the keel.

Keep up the good work, everything is looking great.

So update: I have received the 17x19 dqx prop. Engine is aligned and working on the raw water just tricky because of the size of the engine tight space to work in. Also figured out the exhaust I'm ordering a snail elbow for a out drive should raise it up about 6"

What is a snail elbow?

An exhaust riser off the turbo of the engine.

The key problem with inboard engines is the tendency for saltwaterto enter the engine/turbo coming INTO the exhaust. While the engine is off, it is very common in poorly designed exhaust systems for a "slug" of saltwater to come up the exhaust tube and into the engine. To prevent this, you need 2 things: 1) a surge tube and 2) a riser that has it's lowest point at least 12" above the waterline.

Snail elbow looks like its name and it gets me the Clarence I need above the water line
