    I/O to outboard conversion

    The best thing I ever did on the 19 ft aluminum I had was to put a bracket on. It really made the boat work well and gave me all that extra space back. I would've put a bracket on the Bayliner I'm rebuilding currently but it wasn't in my budget for this year. I left the stern equipped well...

    Now we're getting somewhere. Lastnight I went as far as I could go with the center box the resin was not catalyzed enough for the temp, I went conservative for working time I should've we all in. This morning everything was ready and after a quick hit with the sander to knock down any high spots...

    So if you're playing with floatation foam and don't want it all over. I tried this trick tonight. A gallon ziplock fits inside a 2 ¹/2 quarts paint mixing cup and a quart bag fits inside a quart mixing cup. Do your bag with equal parts close the ziplock knead the bag like your girlfriend bewbs...

    The springs are almost 40 years old so that's a possibility. From where the fenders are placed though I'd say it was about where it should be within a inch at most. 4x4's for bunks I don't think I've ever seen them used from a factory built setup. The trailer lights are done with exception of...

    The bunk supports are in no way connected to the axle. Somehow this boat and trailer survived together for how many ever years. The problem I'm still struggling with is how you put a axle in a trailer with v supports and then put the axle in where they are higher than the V's. Nearest I can...

    1/2" or less clearance? Yeah no thanks. If it needs to ride lower we'll get drop axles.

    New starter is in. Quite a difference in size these new starters are. I've switched all my life ford's over to them and wow what a difference in starting cold. I'll see about sae 30 is only a few quarts. No huge deal

    I used 10w40 Castrol GTX hopefully that will be fine. This unit probably won't see many hours this year with the way it's going now.

    X2 on seloc manual uselessness. Whoever had it before me must have used gear oil. It had that distinct aroma, the fins down on the propshaft all looked good. Bearings and gears all looked pretty good I put new seals in the drive bottom to top. Everything looked pretty good the seals were...

    Not really got anywhere in the last couple days. The 5 gallons of resin I was waiting on got shipped way across town to a different address and fouled up part of my plans to have the deck done. Maybe it will show up and I'll get it set up next week who knows at this point. Dad in the boat...

    A little drive love today. I finally found the answers for the drive unit oil fill and type. Almost all the seals have been replaced. And I have a full length skeg again. Now if the weather would stop with the rain and if my polyester resin would show up I can get the rest of the boat built out.

    Several steps closer tonight. A good couple coats of gelcoat in the engine bay. Just incase anyone wondered each engine pad has to support 220lbs and the transom plate has to support 170lbs or approximately. I scaled the motor today before installing it for my own curiosity.

    No not the motor. The outdrive what Oil does it use and how much? Is there a certain way of doing it?

    So there must be a place to look for it but what is the oil fill procedure and important things to know on the volvo sp and 280? The Seloc manual doesn't seem to have the info in it. If it does I'm not finding it. This is the only volvo I've ever owned. I don't want to have a screw up like...
