The "old double thrust washer" trick. Before I knew better I tried this deal. Puts a lotta load on the prop shaft and does very little if anything for performance. Prop might go Bye, bye if the shaft fails.

I saw it being used on some serious racing boats with tiny cleaver props with non shifting cases. It was for more bow lift before the advent of the jack plate. LOOOONG time ago. I tried it on my 1500XS/Allison combo. It gave more bow lift, but I didn't need it. Merc tech bud of mine saw it and told me the problems it would cause.

I used to work for a guy who raced OPC back in the '60's. They threw him out of a race for putting a nose cone on the lower. So, for the next race he said that he put the cone in front of the lower somehow, attached to the boat. He said it worked and there was nothing they could do about it. Well, I would like to have seen a pic of that set up!!

Mark, I like your pic.....I worked for a marine dealer in Tulsa back around 69-70 who was also a Chrysler dealer when that 135 came out! It sure was a pretty thing with those stacks but pretty well looked the same as the others when you popped the top!

135, just noticed the larger TC carbs and adapters were switched out to smaller WB carbs. Likely a carb switch to help driveability economy for a pleasure boat use.
