The side console and center console 2072 is rated for a 115. But the plain jon with a tiller is 60. Thats kinda weird considering their 1860 jon is also rated for a 60 tiller.

Has anyone been out in a Grizzly 2072 AWL? They are only rated for a 60 hp tiller, but with a 3 degree hull it might still get up and run ok. Whats everyone elses thoughts?

Any suggestions where I might find a prop? I'm watching a used one on Ebay. I was told Michigan Wheel made these but I havent had any luck finding new ones.

I thought the power ratings were with the jet. But, I have read comments here from people saying that the 25 HP jet is not a true 25 HP jet. ???

Well I have heard mixed answers. Does anyone know for sure if the Mercury Jet Outboard HP ratings are with a jet? Or not? Thanks.

Any of you run on the Yellowstone River near Glendive, MT? Whats the smallest jon boat you would setup to run the Yellowstone? Boat will be setup with a tiller jet outboard. Thanks

Had it running a few weeks ago. Went to start it yesterday with no luck. Got fresh fuel thats getting to the plugs. I believe its getting spark as it wil fire every now and than stop. Any suggestions? Gettin frustrated and thinking of throwing in towl and taking to mechanic.

I pulled the lower unit and replaced the impeller. When I removed it I had the shift in forward. When I reinstalled the lower after I got it all bolt back on I noticed the shifter isnt working properly. Forward is neutral, neutral is forward, and reverse is reverse. I removed it and tried to...

Well let's say a Mercury for example. They offer a 20 HP and a 25 HP. The 20 is a 2 cylinder vs the 3 cylinder 25. The 20 is 5250-6250 RPM and the 25 is 5000-6000 RPM. They have the same fuel induction and ignition systems. The 20 HP has a carb, the 25 HP is EFI. The 20 HP weighs in at 115 lbs...

Does the additional 5 HP offset the weight difference?

Ok guys. What all seals should I replace? Anything else I should check and replace while I have lower unit off? And whats best place to find seals?

I guess I was a bit misleading with my original post. The lower unit didnt actually have water in it. The old fluid was just broke down. Runny and dirty. No leaks that I know of.

I drained out the old fluid today and it was pretty watery and milky. I started to fill it back up and it was almost running out instantly. It didnt take nearly the amount that came out. I had a 8 oz tube and it probably didn't use half of that. Should it hold more or is that all those little...

What year did they switch HP ratings from at the power head to at the prop? Wanting to find a 35HP (at prop) tiller and needed to know what year they switched. Thanks
