The Seaprop 60 only gives me 7 inches of clearance so I can only swing a 13 inch prop ( which are no longer available ). Doe...

	Beta 25 running temperature seems low (Preview) My new Beta runs great, but the gauge indicates about 160 degrees. That seems cool for a diesel. Does this make sense? Tia!	Jackg	2	1074	Nov 2, 2020 by Jackg
