There is more to propellor geometry than just "size" (diameter).

Props are also called out in pitch, which describes the forward distan a blade will travel in one rotation (ignoring losses) and is a function of both the foil (shape) of the blade and its angle relative to the line of thrust.

If I am using a 14X14 prop, it may have less thrust that a 12X16, despite being 2 inches "bigger" because its blades are flatter and don't move as much air (or water)

You can install the same outboard on two different boats and need a different pitch prop because of the differences in the two boats' displacements or hull shapes. The diameters are usually fixed on outboards so the pitch is adjusted...like differential ratios in cars.

If you have rusty colored water in cooling passages this is normal as the inside of the engine blocks are not treated. This will usually flush out when running unless block has set a extend period(several years). If used in salt or brackish water you need to start and flush motor on a hose with muff and use a neutralizer like salt away..

The correct mixture is 50:1...or 1 pint to 6 gallons...if possible use the OMC Johnson/Evinrude oil, Do not add more oil than that, you will loose power.

Also I recommend adding SeaFoam to each tank. It decarbonizes the engine as well as preserves the fuel. 1/3 can to 6 gal with 1 pint of oil.

Yes, but it does depend on the skill of the skier and to some extent the design of the water skis.

The 1977 model, Evinrude 15 hp outboard engine, requires a 50:1 ratio. This is one pint of 2 cycle oil, to six gallons of fuel, or 2.5 - 3 oz. of oil per gallon of gasoline.

Milky oil is a sure sign of water contamination usually due to defective seal(s). Find the leak and you absolutely need to change the oil.the drive must be pressure tested and then vacuum tested there are double seal s back to back and out put and input shaft also the oil fill screws must have a good o-ring to keep out water

Yes and no. 2 strokes do not have oil like a car, meaning in the crankcase. the oil is mixed with the fuel and introduced into the engine through either the carburetor or an oil injection set up. the oil/fuel mix is burned in the engine. that's why 2 strokes smoke so much.

and on most small two strokes the gearbox is a separate compartment containing engine oil like a regular engine.

A Hydrofoil is something that whose hull is fitted underneath with shaped vanes (foils) that lift the hull clear of the water to increase the boat's speed.

A Hydroplane is something that is attachment to a plane to make it glide across water.

Chrysler Corp purchased West Bend's outboard manufacturing in January,1965. Chrysler sold the marine division not because they desired to, but because it was demanded as part of the government's loan guarantees. Chrysler stern drives were sold to Bayliner Boats in 1983 and the outboard division was sold to the Force Outboards division of U.S. Marine - an affiliate of Bayliner - in 1984.

The Chrysler Marine and Chrysler Defense divisions of the Chrysler Corporation were the two most profitable parts of that company, and the government made them divest both businesses. If it was me, I would have made Chrysler sell the division making the cruddy cars to Volkswagen or someone else that made cars people liked, and just turned Chrysler into a defense contractor.

An E60ELCIA is not a Mercury. It is an Evinrude. A 1981 Evinrude.

And it works just like any other 2-stroke outboard engine.
