96 Mercury 150xr6 gear ratio - 04/15/20 06:56 PM
So I'm looking into replacing my lower unit. Found a smoking deal on a new Mercury lower unit but it has a 2.00 : 1 gear ratio instead of my factory 1.87 : 1. Anyone have any experience with this change. I think I would probably still be in my rpm range but I don't want to make my boat slower or hurt the engine. I appreciate any input.
