    9670 Carb question

    It might have the same CFM but I doubt the 1409 is Calibrated the same as the 9670, when it is taken out of the box

    115 Crossflow Stripped Important Bolt

    Most fasteners going into Aluminium use Inch Pounds for Torque Values. As Teen I wiped out a few Spark Plug Hole Threads. To this Day, I am leery of any Aluminium Threads. Some Marine Manufacturers starting putting Heli-Coil Inserts in at the Factory, at Locations that would likely need to be...

    something new coming in electric OB

    Liquid Gasoline doesn't Explode, though it does burn rather rapidly. Gasoline Vapour on the other, being mixed with a very large quantity of Air, will explode, which is way Bilges need lots of air moved in and out of them

    something new coming in electric OB

    And as Racer said, Horsepower Requirements for Boat are much different than those of a Car/Truck. Over 2 tons of Lithium Explosive on a Boat. I guess if you could sink the Boat Instantly, you 'might' be able to put out a Battery Fire

    something new coming in electric OB

    500 pounds doesn't get you a lot of Battery, about ten Group 78s, which wouldn't provide much power for even a 35hp Outboard, maybe 10-15 minutes

    RPM range question

    Get the Rpm to at least the Middle of the RPM range, a 10 or 11 inch will be needed. However adding another blade will require an even greater drop in Pitch, and will likely require a Pitch in the Single Digits. However, as Mentioned, verify the Tach and Setup of the Engine first

    115 Crossflow Stripped Important Bolt

    In the late 70s, early 80s there allegedly was a Mechanic, at a St. Albert AB Dealership who assembled Powerheads with an Impact. Apparently it had a lot of Warranty Claims, long after they fired him

    115 Crossflow Stripped Important Bolt

    People need to realize, that Aluminium is NOT a Hard Metal, and very easy to Damage. I expect the threads in any Aluminium casting to shear every time I unscrew a Fastener from them

    Winterize carb

    Personally I would Never put SeaFoam in the Fuel. Nor would I used it to clean Combustion Chambers and/or Rings. It is mostly Light Oil, and Naphtha. I know some People swear by it, however, I swear at it. There are far better Products for Stabilizing Gas. Mercury and BRP Market some, Sta-Bil...

    Winterize carb

    A Fuel Stabilizer will be fine and added to the Tank, helpsthe entire Fuel system. Now if we could only ban Alcohol from the refining of Gasoline. But a Special Interest Group will prevent that.

    Boat stringer size.

    Welcome to iboats 3/4" will be fine. Too many People live by; if Enough is Good, More is Better, and Too Much is just Right I will assume you are using Plywood for the Stringers as it will resist Twisting and/or Warping. Just make sure to use Wood with Water Proof Glue and then make sure to...

    The boat will feel and handle differently with the Enertia. The Prop will have a good Grip on the Water

    Adding Distilled water to battery. what qualifies as distilled?

    No, Rainwater is a Chemical Stew, and Water from a Dehumidifier, is Mold City. Rainwater would certainly be softer, as it would have less Calcium in it compared to Tap Water, but I don't like using Water contaminated with Avian Fecal Matter, to wash my clothes
