I wonder if anyone still on here has experience with the R15? I guess this is a very common rig from the 70's, running a Merc 1500 short shaft with solid mounts . I will have it on a Vance 6" plate. I have heard propshaft even with the pad, I am guessing a 26p chopper or cleaver? I have a generic unmarked 13.5 X24p on the motor right now. Anyone know if the stock lower can run this high without running out of cooling water? Is there any point in installing the plate to be able to run the propshaft above the pad? Not going racing, but would like to get it up in the 60's, would LOVE to see 70 in this old girl.
Thx, Bernie.
