    Motor suggestions

    Have a 18 foot Chrysler Conquer 105 and the motor block is cracked. For now I'm looking around at other 2-stroke motor options. The plate says 105HP max, but finding some 115 and 125 motors. The original 105 Chrysler only had 90HP at the prop, so finding a newer 105 would be a jump in power...

    Railing Ideas

    I see it working so long as you have a way of getting the cables real tight. So each cable end needs to have something attached to it so it can be tightened. Direct end with threaded rod Eye bolt and cable clamps Turn buckle

    Block-off Plate/Gasket

    No first hand knowledge but my opinion is I don't see the new style working. Reason being is there are slotted holes where the gasket needs to seal, and the gasket surface does not go out far enough to the edge

    Exhaust elbow mercruiser 470 flapper and retainer
