I have an older MIE 260. Both the oil lines to the oil filter housing and transmission lines to the cooler have seen better days. After looking around all I'm finding are 20+ year-old hoses. I've been doing some research and Parker's Push-Lock seems the best way to go. The only problem is NPT to...

I am going to keep the Delco 10MT starter.

Found the part I needed! Knock the ring gear off and put it on the other side, done...

All the running gear got sold, body and frame went for scrap. It had a TH400 automatic.

I have a Borg Warner Velvet Drive 71c 1 to 1 gear.

Yeah, it is the third post on here. Shows the flywheel sitting on a GM 350.

Looking from the flywheel end toward the circulation pump, right-hand rotation.

I have the transmission mounted starter, the ring gear is mounted to the rear of the flywheel, unlike a car/truck. Galveston, TX. Saltwater and brackish water gets to everything. What I did not do was take the picture from the other side, but it looks better this way.

I know how to do that, would be easy, if it was the problem. I need a whole flywheel assembly. Mine rusted out.

Straight inboard with a Velvet Drive 71c 1:1.

The two-piece rear main seal is what I got. The boat is a 1984 Chris Craft 251. The original 305 was raw water cooled and that never works in salt water, so it rotted out long ago. I upgraded it to a 350 that was out of my 1972 Camero that also rotted out and beyond any hope. I had the gear out...

Does anybody know where I can get a flywheel for 1984 5.7/350 MIE? The ring gear is mounted towards the back of the flywheel. Is it possible to take a regular flywheel and have it machined to move the ring gear?

Has anyone had any luck with a LED replacement with a PAR36 bulb in their Ray-Line/Jabsco spotlight? GE has stopped all production of the 4700 bulbs. I have been buying replacements from BulbAmerica.com but was told when the inventory was exhausted that was it. Well, that time has come and my...
