    jb weld on trim fitting?

    I made my first really stupid repair mistake on my MC 120 outdrive. After 5-6 hours of trying to thread the trim hose into the connecting block, I gave up and just reefed it down cross-threaded, hoping it would hold. It didn't hold. Then I tried to re-tap it. Now it wobbles in the threads. I...

    Starchief off trailer onto dollies with motor still in?

    I'm going to replace the floor and do some other repairs to the 'chief, but my axle is too wide for the garage. I've seen some folks on here rig up dollies for SC hulls, and I'm wondering if this would be safe to do with the motor still in, or if the weight of the motor will compromise the hull...

    Starchief windshield width?

    I've got a line on a nice full top for a great price, but I'm currently working out of town and can't measure. Can anybody tell me what the width of the windshield is, please?

    67' Starchief belly tank dimensions

    I'm hoping to get some dimensions of belly tanks that fit and work without too much hassle (raising deck, moving stringers). I've looked through most of the resto threads (awesome), and I gather the ballpark height limit is around 6", but I would love to hear real measurements or model numbers...

    '67 Starchief hull question

    I just picked up a battle-weary but fully functional Starchief. She waited until I told her I loved her before she showed me how much water she takes on. About a gallon every few hours. :facepalm: I would love to do a full resto. Been reading over lots of those threads here and it is enticing...

    truck canopy as hard top

    I know it's a bit Sanford and Son, but I'm thinking about doing this with my 65' p14. Has anyone here done this? If so, how have you attached it, and is it recommended/feasible to raise it a bit?

    lower unit oil mark 55a

    I can't seem to find 105 anywhere. Is anything else suitable for a mark 55a? There is a seal leak somewhere, as there was quite a bit of water in it when I drained it, so 105 is my 1st choice, but I can't find the stuff. 2-4-c, 90-140?

    spanner size mark 55 h20 pump cover?

    I found this site http://armstrongtools.com/ECommerce/Category.aspx that has spanners of all sizes, and I'm wondering if anyone knows offhand the pin length/dia/distance needed for the impeller removal tool for a mark 55a? I know there is a guy selling handbuilt units on ebay, but I would prefer...

    impeller change Mark 55A?

    I just picked up an apparently great running motor (for cheap!), but I am a little concerned about lack of water spitting from the unit. I've done a good bit of searching, and it seems most should come from near the prop, not the exhaust, right? I would like to change the impeller/pump unit, but...
