    Options for adding floatation to 13' aluminum dinghy/rowboat?

    Check and see if there is foam in there already . Had a 12 ft aluminum boat as a kid it had same type of seats with foam in them. You couldn’t sink the thing, and we tried… otherwise use some type of expand foam to fill

    Vortec 350 5.7 Mercruiser Build

    I dont think that thermostat lifting eye is used for anything but taking some weight off the engine front for alignment. Mine had two liftng eyes font and back on opposite heads like you outline. Normally a bolt into any cylinder head accessory bolt hole will do the trick. Don’t really need the...

    1987 Sea Ray Pachanga 2, 22ft

    Assuming it is the original engine 4200-4600 rpm. Personally id rather be on the upper end say 4400-4600 rpm, better to be under propped than over propped. if you are just cruising occasional tubes especially if loaded you may want a four blade for better holeshot and stern lift. Check in after...

    1987 Sea Ray Pachanga 2, 22ft

    Yes you would need a 1.47 ratio. I would start with the prop thats on there and you already own , see where you land in terms of performance and WOT rpm then adjust to suit your needs. Typically expect to see a 19" or 21" three blade on this rig but prop selection is best made after some run...

    Broken skeg and play in prop shaft.

    not sure what drive but I'm assuming an alpha one gen 2 based off the pic. the in and out play is normal as long as there is no runnout, side to side. Was the prop messed up? You maybe able to have it welded or you may need a new lower depending on how far the crack around the base of the prop...

    Mercruiser pre-alpha swap

    Are you talking about swapping transom assemblies as well as drives? Or just bolting up the newer gen one drive to the mc1 bellhousing? The drive should be a bolt on to the existing bellhousing. if you want to swap transom assemblies that can be done but is more involved as they changed the rear...

    What do your plugs look like ? I actually got rid of a couple of bogs i had maybe around 3400 and 3800 By going leaner. you may want to try going back to the stock springs and see what that does. as far as secondaries run 5-10 min at WOT or close to it stop real quick and yank a couple plugs i...
