Thanks for the replies.

It is a Honda BF30A with a 17" shaft I believe. It has a hand pump hydraulic tilt and trim unit that I plan to add a DIY jack plate to.

Any suggestions for the prop? I was eyeing 10x13p or 10x14p 3 blade aluminum props. It is a 10 spline motor.

I do not have a tach and Honda does not make one for this motor so I plan on buying a tiny tach that uses spark plug wiring for approximate rpm range. If I manually throttle all the way with the engine cover off, I hit the rev limiter.
