You need to read the Miss Bud post it has alot of info on them!! It's the same boat as the miss bud!! You need to get a y535 metal prop for it. To keep the water out,you need to get weather gasket material to put around inside of the cowl lid. Two you need to drill a hole in your motor compartment on the left hand side back corner,were the motor compartment and radio box meet at/at corner.So the water can drain out of the motor compartment.I had to rebuild mine wood in the motor compartment because there was no water hole to drain the motor compartment out.I have three Miss Buds,Two flex drives and one strait shaft one. I'll find the bud post is at and post here for you so you can read it.Tons of info for you!!
