some of the guys on this forum said that becuse of the prop pocket that there would not be enough water for the outboard I don't understand this becuse thereis enough water for the i/b wheel

Exraider,

Do you have the IB now? What model are you refering to?

Exraider,
It's not that there isn't enough water, it's that the pocket would create turbulent water that the outboard wouldn't be able to deal with. You'd end up with a really bad cavitation problem since the o/b wouldn't be running in clean water.

Its a 23 cc & I still don't understand why theres enough water for the i/b prop & not the o/b prop
