Re: Stus-List A-4 zincs
Really? That is surprising. Danny, I flush the engine after each use with fresh water. PO did, too. I think that helps a lot.

It was even common practice to spin it up in reverse to open the prop and then pop into forward. It worked well but it but a lot of stress on the drive train. I ended up putting a the 3-blade prop on from indigo. It gave me better RPMs in forward and I still had the rev the heck out of in reverse. Nice prop and more kind to the drive train.

Hi Burt, Moyer Marine has a service and repair manual they sell for about $50. It's worth it. I'd also recommend a fresh water cooling kit to stop any more salt water running through your engine.
