Re: fixing two Century (or at least one)
Never weld crankcases without having both halves bolted together, helps prevents distortion. Reassemble the crank & the 2 crankcase halves, oil the main bearings, check they mate properly, very small gaps can be sealed using RTV silicon as a gasket paste & rotate the crank to ensure it rotat...

Re: Mercury 3.3hp No Tell Tale Water
Rubber water pump impeller so back pressure shouldn't be a problem.
Have you checked the water delivery tube between the powerhead & the cylinder?

Re: HP and Thrust
No comparison figures in that tech report only push in newtons!
You can't help wondering why they didn't try a height adjusting bracket for the long shaft Kingfisher, if they could measure a short shaft Kingfisher without major problems?

Re: HP and Thrust
Doesn't 10% more firing strokes, imply your putting 10% more power into the water that's used to propel your boat forward? (How much push your getting on the back of your boat). As measuring the power output at less than maximum revs in it's normal working environment, would give you a lower inaccur...

Re: HP and Thrust
Measure the revs at full throttle of a static bollard & full throttle in open water.
You'll find your getting more revs going free, more revs means more power strokes = higher push!
