Bought boat but previosly owner changed things. I am trying to find the proper prop for boat. I have a 14X20 4 blade prop and the motor turns 5100 RPM's (to High) Any help is appreciated. 4.3 v6 king Cobra drive. I also can't get the dipstick to stop leaking at the oil pan fitting any help is appreciated.

Hmmm, is the dipstick tube the type that runs thru the drain plug into the oilpan? If so, you can do 2 things. Cheapy way is to coat it in forma gasket. More labor (and $$$) intensive way is to remove the whole assembly and have the flange on the inside of the drain plug re-done. Dumb question, but, have you checked to see if the drain plug was tight?

Can't really help on the prop question, I like the one I have so I don't really know much about 3 vs 4 blade, or different pitch and whatnot.

What Year is the 180?? And you definitely don't have a King Cobra... you may have a Cobra drive but def. not a King Cobra.. those drives were exclusively for v8's with big horse power
