    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    There's no stupid questions sir. The dumbest are simply the ones never asked. Went through this at work a few weeks ago. I'm not an electrician by any means but ours rewired a VFD cabinet and we were not getting any control of the VFD through the system. He starts ripping apart his wiring...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I watched a guy from bluewater talking about mounting height, he was saying every 10 inches back from the end of the running surface they move them up an inch or so as a "rule of thumb" Since the running surface is being extended here, they may not end up being "up" all that much. I'd imagine...

    1981 Rinker with Mercruiser 120HP, In what order should I do these repairs??

    48 is the oil seal, 49 the rubber shift shaft bushing and 50 is the stainless washer. 49 is a rubber washer where 48 is an actual lip seal and 47 the actual metal thread in seal.

    48 I assume? (These diagrams are available from mercury on their site in the parts catalog FYI)

    Hopefully that holds up better than my truck bed did...

    Crocs hold up to way more abuse than sea deck in my experience. :p I was today years old when I learned plasteak makes an EVA product. I had looked into maybe using that for my swim platform but after seeing a few of them in the wild... real teak looks way better. (And I have enough of it on...

    Wish you were closer. You could have the rest of my CSM and 1708. It's odd, I can't really give the stuff away it seems.

    New old boat checklist.

    Just peeking, looks like it may be a janome built unit and is front loading. (Both pluses.) If you can get a walking foot for it, do it. Makes feeding so much easier. Nice pickup!

    One or two "ribs" extending to the gun wall will probably do it. A shrink wrap gun over the pipe forms it nice to shape

    New old boat checklist.

    Just out of curiosity, is it an alpha? (I forget your exact year but early 80s are a little fudgy) The impeller housing are all the same but the lower plate is different depending on which revision it is. I would do the whole thing just because (and it sounds like you plan to) but that's...

    Do they have a measurement for how flat it needs to be like the I/Os?

    TB V?

    They all use mean best timing. The knock module gives a little more protection. No difference in the service manual for either timing curve, just engine.

    TB V?

    I think they all work with it but you would need the separate knock module as well. Service manual 25 has the wire pinouts.

    cooking

    I typically have them pre packed in salt/pepper/garlic and frozen in vac bags. So it's as simple as just tossing them in before work... Easy. I prefer them on the grill but firing that up after being awake 18 hours can be... a fun experience. :ROFLMAO: The poke test is nearly fool proof. My...

    cooking

    The steaks as of late are easy, I let the sous vide for a few hours then finish in the cast after a rest. Can't really mess it up that way. I did use it on that brisket and a few other pet projects... it's awesome just ebing able to walk away from the grill, oven, etc.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I may steal engineering on the fly as the title for the scrap book of my resto I'm making for myself. :LOL: it's funny... I took measurements when I started and by the end I was just like "meh, close enough." Turned out right I guess. What numbers are you using to calculate the resin by chance...
