    Linkage Adjustments

    Hi racerone Yes your probably right. I will experiment with the shift linkage first then the rod height. In the old'n days, seems like there was a count on the number of turns of the shift shaft after a rebuild of the LU. But I'am most likely a lot older than most here, and they wouldn't...

    I did some more research on google for the Shift linkage rod adjustment heights. It says using a shift rod gauge P/N 389997 the rod height is 21.38" or 543 mm plus or minus a half turn to align the attachment yoke. I don't have or can buy this guage, but would like to know if the measurment...

    Linkage Adjustments

    Thanks for you quick reply. The last trip out this spring, early April it jumped out of reverse a few times before we pulled in. This last weekend is the first I had it back on the River since then. Before I hooked up to it, I readjusted the linkage, thinking I needed to do it in Netural and...

    Changing Chrysler i/b to Chevy i/b process

    Good Info Scott, especially the Knurling on the Crank Shaft, for the reverse spiraling, to keep the pressure off the rear Main seal. Read where a man bought a new crank shaft for his 440 Chrysler, it was a RH marine Crank. He tried everything, to keep the rear main from leaking, until he...

    Adding Third Toon to 24' Pontoon

    WrenchMike Instead of worrying about the Toon leaks, which are hard to find and repair , unless your a good TIG welder, use a 4" hole saw on the top of the stern of each Toon and install a good bilge pump with auto/manual power. That way you'll always know your not hauling, Heavy water...
