Or I can install it 48" forward from the location shown above. Picture "B"

Re: DP290A removal of hinge Pins??????
Just a few pictures. I'm really bad at keeping my pictures in order. That is if I take any. The first is the bilge all painted up. The others are the motor coming out. The guy in the picture is my father.

I just put my engine back in the boat after replacing manifolds risers and a coupler. Everything is in excellent running order. My trim and tilt seems to be all screwy though. On the...
:confused:I figured that since I pulled my engine to do manifolds, risers, and a water pump I would do plugs and wires. I pulled out champions. Is this correct? What spark plugs should I use? This is my engine serial number 0C664458.
What do you call the floor hatch that is primarily a square or oval ring with a carpeted board that is hingeless. I need to buy the stainless ring. I had to cut out a piece of the floor in my cabin to access and make a repair. But I want to keep that area accessible. I remember seeing these...
