So really, asides from the lower units and the model ID sticker's these engines are identical right? (I know one or the other may / may not have the pitot plumbing run all the way through)
I am referring to to LX-150-TXRY / SX 150 -OR- the Z-200-TXRD / LZ-200 as a pair. Am I right? The same powerhead, electronic ignition, Everything except the gearing in the lower unit make the propeller turn the other way.
Here is the deal, I had my propellers stolen and I bought a used pair from a local parts shop / Yamaha dealer. At some point I noticed that at WOT I got 5500 on one and 5200 on the other. I wondered if although the pitch is the same and I believe the props are the same model/part except for rotation, Are they a matched set and could that be why I have a split?
Couldn't I swap lower units from side to side and safely operate the vessel and engines at WOT to determine if the low RPM follows the lower unit?
Is there any reason why I would not want to run the vessel with the counter rotating engine (lower unit, actually) on the starboard side? (right, the standard is to install the LX on the Port)
Me and my silly mind bounces all over the place sometimes... always thinking, just not always thinking right. Ignorance is bliss... until someone gets hurt or something broken.
Thank you all for putting up with me.
