Re: Transom Wedge on 1989 15

The prop is a Stainless PowerTech 10.5 x 13 pitch. I will have to look up the exact model number. The gas tanks a 9 gallon, 6 gallon and battery are all in the back of the boat. As for the holes for the motor they were drilled for original 1989 Yamaha 70hp. And I need to correct that the prop that w...

Transom Wedge on 1989 15
