04 yamaha 40 3 cyl questions
 

Ok so just bought a 04 yamaha 40. Dont know much about the Yam. heard there good motors. I gotta get a new lower unit it for it, Any suggestions where i can pick one up? Oh and a tiller handle. Any small mods i can do? Its going on the back of a allweld 15x42. Been looking at buying a clever prop, Im gonna be using this boat for fishing the marsh, toledo bend etc would a clever be a good choice? Gonna get some boissen reeds for it as well. Any body else running this type of motor? If so tell me a good set up for a little bit of everything. Speed, reliability and good torque for shallow running. Any help would be great thanks guys.

I'm not a prop expert but a semi cleaver, yes.......A true cleaver, NO!

look up kent foreman he can get you running right. foreman marine

look up foreman marine. guys name is kent foreman. he use to race a fast 40 for a long time.

I ran one like this for about 6-7 years...I ran the snot out of it everytime I got in it. I had my head shaved .030 and boyeseen reeds. Mine was on a 15/48 weldbilt and it ran 39mph was the best I could get out of it. I spoke with Kent Foreman before and I second that, I would look him up if you want a dependable motor with a few mods.
