For my boat, I mixed some anti-skid in an epoxy primer and rolled it onto the areas I had taped off - then sprayed the entire topside with a...
7 years on.... Interesting chap this boat builder was....
Hi all. It's been a while since I posted here, but I used to frequent here often. I'm looking for some ideas about the best way to add a bow...
My 280 has a 1.61 stamped into it, either under the zinc or right where the shaft enters the unit. I agree about keeping it simple by using the...
According to my Seloc manual, some of the later models did call for gear oil, though it could have been for 290, SP's and DP's - but with the...
My guess is there is probably very little difference in economy between 3100 - 3500 rpm's - so where you and the boat feel happier is probably the...
Just do one stringer at a time if it's not too late. Ideally, you would have a cradle built to insure against deforming the hull as you take...
You're using an 11hp low rpm engine - without getting lost in the details, and if costs are equal, I'd think not having to cut off or modify...
Hi all. On this day of giving out thank-yous - I thought I'd give one to everyone that helped me directly and, most often, indirectly. I built a...
I'm pretty sure you have a 302 if it's a 175. The 351w was rated at 235 Hp. If you're going by the 351 cast in the heads - both engines used 351w...
Using the numbers you listed above, which seem familiar to me, my math says reducing 1" diameter will net 500 - 560 rpm increase. - 2.5/2 * 400 or...
Did you order a different oil pressure sender than the one that was too big? If not you can use brass pipe and fittings from any hardware store to...
Where does the disconnected wire the the alternator come from? A voltage regulator? If so, that's your field wire - and if it's not hooked up...
They have the same gear ratios - so it'll probably be minimal. However, the 270 does have that big fat exhaust port/steering trim rudder - and...
Actually you do. If you can't wind it up to the rpms it was designed for at wot, you probably have it under too much load - or something's amiss....
The Coast guard is getting very strict in enforcing their life preserver policy while passing through the locks these days. [IMG] Funny...
Tilt and trim aren't the same on these outdrives. Tilt is the small electric motor that sits on the port side of the transom plate - power trim...
According to the Volvo manual, you can operate it in the tilt (assuming it's not a power trim model) at idle speeds only. I know from experience...
After reading the first 150 or 160 posts of everyone believing this rule trumps that rule and these people are this and my tribe can **** yours -...
A helpful way to schedule these projects is to figure how long it should take to do a job - double that - and then plan for at least a week on top...
