I'm in the process of purchasing a 27hp prodrive (2004). I'm adding the reverse plate and the pin puller, but there isn't a tension knob. Do I have to install it, or can I go without it? How difficult is it to insert the bushing and tap the housing? |

You can go without. I have a bolt in mine. If you keep it greased you won't really need the tension knob. |

Any idea what the holes are for on the back of the captivation plate? |

holes on back of the cavitation plate are usually used to put a rope/strap when trailering. i couldn't see the holes in the pic. you don't need a tension knob. i never had one. just my opinion, but the pin puller is garbage, u don't need it. you'd be better off getting kicked in the nuts. good luck!!! |

Added better pictures of the holes in the captivation plate. Future ideas are to mod a sleg like bayou boys and maybe purchase the weed cutter. Next thing on my list is to get a transom saver modded to get the prodrive home |

that style of cav plate came with them holes. lots of people threw a black rubber strap from the hole to the rear boat handle to keep motor from swinging while on trailer. i realy think they were just there from machineing the cav plate, i don't think they have a 'special purpose' i could be wrong. lol |
