    Probably need to know what motor its going on since there are different spline counts on some motors, but clearly I am not boat mechanic.

    No sweat. The 13 is fine but I can't help but to tinker with shit. Lol

    I've also been considering selling the 40 Yamaha and hanging a Tohatsu 60 on it. I miss not having T&T

    Ive got my 40 yammer paired with a cmc tilt and trim plate running a 16-g knock off YBS.

    Ive got a 15p merc vengeance that I liked even better, but its got what I believe to be the Mercury Flo-Torque hub, but its plastic. I can get it on and mounted with the different spacers/washer/thrust washers I have, but its still got a little bit more play than I would like.
    I need to take it to someone and get a new hub put in it

    I think the hub that is in it is fine, maybe with a normal hub It wouldn't have the wiggle side to side. but if you guys have any advice id love to hear it.

    I can put the vengeance on with the castle nut yamaha prop nut, but cant get it down far enough to get the cotter pin in. If I use the lock nut with the locking folding tab that came from mercury, I can't get the lock nut to thread onto the yamaha prop shaft. I have tried smaller and larger lock nuts with fine threads instead of course and still couldn't get them to thread right.

    So far I can get the vengeance to run with the little bit of play I was describing via the original spacer that goes infront the prop, and a regular washer + the original yamaha castle nut and the mercury folding lock tab, but I can't get the cotter pin in. Do you think I'd be fine with just the locking tab?

    Sorry to hijack Feet.

    No sweat, I got what I need. If the Vengeance is that hard to fit up, I'd just re-hub it. That "little bit of play" may be doing damage to your lower....

    That was my thoughts, the cost of re-hubbing would be well worth it for the peace of mind.

    I had a 60 mercury on mine and it floated it fine and would jump out the hole quick no matter how much of a load was in the boat. I think mine ran about 40 unloaded and 38 with 2 people and gear with a 17 pitch 4 blade. I had the larger gear case mercury so the Tohatsu should be a good bit faster than that.

    Yep. The Tohatsu 60 is only 3 lbs heavier than my Yamaha 40
