The orginal set-up was a 1 to 1 ratio. Therefore the props and related gear probally will not work for a slow turning engine like Yanmar.

My bad...I thought all the power had been stripped out...but props come in different pitches and sizes, no? All the bilge pumps work well I assume?

The props are small and you would need new struts if you went any bigger. I think 350 Chevy engines, Mercury, Volvo ect is probally the way to go.
The new Volvo system/drives would not be worth the cost given the age and size of the boat.


Bilge pump, not sure will check before it goes in the water.
