Normal
Seems it was off Boats.net, Mercury Marine Performace Parts. Bought the parts for about $300 and there was info on doing work on the lower end and thru the prop. Don't really know what it helped cuz I did it all together. It did get a bit louder though. When I finished I had to buy a different prop (s). The damn thing would run right up to 5600 rpm at 3/4 throttle!
