Just did a full tune up, changed oil and put on a new SEI 106 outdrive. Boat runs great, comes...
So this weekend the lake was dirty. I was out cruising Friday night and ran through some crap. A small log must have got into the prop and broke the anti-cavitation plate on one side.
Where can I find a replacement? Weld on or otherwise.
It's an Alpha 1 Gen 1 outdrive.
So I just wanted to throw out a big thanks to Nauticus Inc. I had ordered a set of Smart tabs sx a month or 2 ago. I never really had bow rise problems cause the boat has plenty of power to jump out of the water. The handling was horrible with any weight in the back and had some chine walk at...
Quick question. I pulled the motor in my boat to do some maintenance. Paint/clean bilge, new bilge pump, rear main seal, etc. I noticed last time I was out it felt like I might had spun the hub on my prop. I was wrong. The couple had spun some. Still hooked up good after the one incident. I...
The boat is a 1986 Thompson 196CC. It's a 19'6" Cuddy with the swim platform on the back. I have a 355 with decent heads, Performer intake, Comp XM262cam, and a Qjet. Have an Edelbrock 1410 (750cfm) on the way.
With just me and a pass it'll turn 45-4600rpms with a 1.5 drive and a labbed 23p...

The boat is a 86 Thompson 19'6" Cuddy. Has a 355 with Alpha one.
I just picked up a labbed 23 Mirage plus with a solid hub. There is a recess in the back of the hub and I'm guessing its for a spacer of some sort. It sits too far back on the prop shaft. The prop is Mercury p/n 48-13246...
This is my first post on iboats. I'm fairly new to boats as far as working on them as well as GM stuff. Grown up as a Ford guy. Not new to hotrodding or engines though. Been reading and found plenty of useful info on here.
Here is what I have. Ran into a 1986 Thompson 19' cuddy cab w/ a 230/v8...
