Re: NAUSET 16 Yamaha F70

I drilled the top holes based on measurements.

The Yamaha F70 outboard engine was no near me when I did that.

Then I lined-up it and took the picture to see how it lined up. It is off and ready for the lower hole to be drilled.

Re: NAUSET 16 Yamaha F70

Thank you. I read [the linked article on the location of the lower mounting holes when installing engines on boats with shallow splash wells]. [I think] I need to drop [the engine mounting location as shown in Figure 2 above by] one hole and drill there. I will read [the linked article on the locati...

Re: NAUSET 16: Moving On-deck Fuel Tank and Two Batteries to Console

I already have already purchased two new standard marine [probably means flooded-cell vented lead-acid engine-cranking storage] batteries.

[The cost of LiFePO4 batteries] would price me out [of the marketplace of buyers].

Re: NAUSET 16: Moving On-deck Fuel Tank and Two Batteries to Console

My thinking was the same. I had hope that some others had [moved two batteries and a fuel tank to be under the console on a NAUSET 16] with no repercussions. The console on the NAUSET 16 is actually new. I have bolt-down trays to keep the batteries from moving. And although the console is sturdy, I ...

NAUSET 16: Moving On-deck Fuel Tank and Two Batteries to Console

On my NAUSET 16 I plan to move the on-deck fuel tank to the bottom of the helm console. I plan to move the two batteries to the shelf on the helm console.

Is this a bad idea?

Re: NAUSET 16 Yamaha F70

Please don't apologize. You are helping me.

Q1: What about a YAMAHA K SERIES PERFORMANCE 3 STAINLESS STEEL PROPELLER - 3 BLADE - 13.25 DIA - 14 PITCH - RH ROTATION?

It is the right size.

Q2: What does "K series" mean?

Q3: Should I avoid {K-Series]?

Re: NAUSET 16 Yamaha F70

I communicated with both Andy and Ken. Andy recommended an aluminum propeller. Ken didn’t have the propellor recommended [earlier in this thread]. Ken suggested a 17-pitch propeller.
