    Will boat for this style trailer?

    I wouldn't worry about the lack of Keel Rollers, I have had several Trailers, both Bunk and Roller, that didn't have them. It is my Belief that more Hulls are damaged by incorrectly adjusted Keel Rollers than any other Trailer Maladjustment

    Will boat for this style trailer?

    Now I see what you meant by Vee Block, That looks like a Bow Stop Should work. You might have to adjust the Bunks a bit. Hopefully they are High enough that the Bow doesn't hit the Crossmembers when Launching Loading

    1977 Evinrude 85hp - Intermittent power loss

    Could be something as Simple as a Bad Coil. Since the Miss moved when you moved the Coil, and remained when you swapped wires, it kinda points to the Coil. Replace the Coil, if you are still having Issues, then more Diagnostics is in order

    1964 Evinrude Starflite 70hp impeller change

    In addition to unhooking the Wires, you will also have to pass the Wire Harness-Cable into the Exhaust Housing in Order to drop the Gearcase

    Drilling vent holes in a prop

    I found this from a few Years Ago. The V6 OBs use the same Props as the I/Os

    Trouble launch and loading boat

    Can't be. In 1980 OMC went to a different Gearcase, where the Water Inlets were further back on the Gearcase. The Cases aren't swappable as the Shift Linkage is different.

    Prop Swap opinions...

    Is that 4500rpm, fully loaded or lightly loaded? A 22ft is asking a lot of a 4.3, even a 5 liter. Even if you underprop it noticeably, the Hole Shot is still gonna be less than neck snapping. To me you are already close to being over propped and a 3 blade 17 might be a better choice, that will...

    2 stroke longevity?

    It is the Environmental Protection Agency, and Water is part of the Environment, and Food, which we eat relies on the Environment.... When viewed from a 100,000 miles away, our little Planet, is just that, A little Oasis in the Dark Vast Emptiness of Space. It is our ONLY Home

    2 stroke longevity?

    I do like having Air that isn't full of Unburned Fuel, Carbon Monoxide, and Oxides of Nitrogen, and I suspect the EPA clamped down further Increases of those being introduced into the Watersheds.

    If the Axle was under the Transom, then Half the Weight of the Boat and Trailer would be on the Hitch

    2 stroke longevity?

    Far fewer Parts in a 2 stroke to fail/wear. There are tens of thousands of 2 Stroke Motors from the 50s still running, and have never been apart. I doubt that in 20 yrs there will be many of the current 4 Strokes still running, the original Powerheads

    Trouble launch and loading boat

    "Runner V" ????? You say the Ramp shallows out. Your Trailer is lower at the Front when hitched to your Tow Vehicle, so maybe you are trying to back the Boat Uphill when coming off the Trailer, if the Ramp is really Flat. Raising the front of the Bunks and the Rollers forward of it, might...

    Trouble launch and loading boat

    Trailer is way too small for that boat, and that is putting the Hull at risk of Deformation.

    If you're wondering if your anti siphon valve is stuck, or clogged, here's a test....

    The one on my Boat was stuck closed when I took it out the First Time. Engine had been run from a Separate Tank at the Dealer during Prep. That Valve no longer exists in my boat

    Well the Exhaust Tuner in the Midsection is a different Part #. Same goes for the Exhaust Housing Adapter(might have something to do with the Tuned Exhaust)
