I am rebuilding my big bore 175 crossflow. I found a steal of a deal on pistons(.030) at Pro Marine.......45 bucks each......complete! I ordered a set of 6 and when they got home to me, 6 turned into just one......I bought the last one they had.:mad: I want to match a set and it looks almost...
I am in the middle of putting back together a 150 crossflow motor that I had bought from a dealer in Florida. This block cost me 2300 plus shipping etc. This is the 4th block I got from them and this one had a leak that I could not find/fix. In an attempt to fix it, I pulled the p-head and went...
All right gentlemen, I purchased the new Brp fuel pump kit for my 235 that I am building. My original pumps were completely ate up. All the metal in the pumps was crust and dust. So, in this kit, I have 2 pumps with the same #........ 438559. But they each have a different sub #. One is 15-L-1L...
I am building a small bore 235. I am not using the '78 manifold because I am using the newer style lower unit(different shift style). With that being said, I have the inspection covers off of a large bore 235 that have the single drain port in it for the check valves. My manifold is also the...
I'm thinking about opening up the intake area behind the carbs. I know there's a few out there that have actually done this performance mod. WHere can the old style gaskets be obtained? How deep do you cut the middle section down to? What actual gains are to be had by doing it? I have a couple...
I'm trying to get this prop off of a 1978 lower unit V6 crossflow. This is a high performance setup that i have never seen before. I dont know if the prop is ceased on to the shaft or the hub at the end of the prop is really a nut. I drilled two holes to try and unthread it but it would not...
Guys, I am going thru an all stock 235(1978). I obtained it for a very reasonable price. It needs alot of tlc. Besides going thru the carbs and pulling the heads to see what the bores look like. I want to rebuild the fuel pumps. I don't know where this motor came from etc. But I do know it's...
I just put this powerhead on my midsection. It is not modded. It's got the standard carbs and jets and porting. I used the boat yesterday and the boat didn't want to come out of the hole.....at all. It just died. I was trying out a 24 inch raker on my Ranger. When I finally got it going, it ran...
I have ported my 150 before. I had a friend help me with some information I acquired from him. It was just tedious. I liked it. There's another aspect of porting the motors that I haven't done. Has anyone cut the openings into the side of the cylinder and used the gt pistons(scalloped) in it...
I have a couple of props that need to get reworked. They need more cupping in them. I need more lift for my bass boat. I don't have any good ones down here in Maryland. Is there a good prop guy for these? Besides, One of them needs to get balanced. When I obtained it, it had some good dings in...
I live in Maryland-southern Md to be exact. I have talked to numerous dealers around me. There is no good machinists around here. There is one near me that botched a v4 crossflow(punched out the wrong hole and when he punched out the correct hole, it only needed .010 to fix it. It came back to...
I have this boat that I restored. It has a 6" plate installed 2. What is the correct height(approx) for this boat with a plate? It has a stepback too. I haven't messed with the setup that came with it. I think its a little low. The boat started chine walking full out with the motor trimmed way...
Just a general question here. I'm going over a 235 trying to get it tuned up on my bass boat. It wouldn't come out of the hole to save it's life and that was with a 25" raker. The gt 150 that came on this 1200lb Ranger(375v 1988) had a 22" raker. SO, there should be no problem with this 235...
