    Bent skeg on outboard

    Let it ride until you manage to take a large chunk out of it. If you feel like it's affecting steering significantly you can try adjusting the trim tab to compensate. I just had mine repaired (local prop shop here does them for a good price) but half of it was gone and had bent a blade, so I...

    Thoughts on New Gen Direct Injected VP 5.3L v8 350HP?

    If it's an actual LT based DI engine I'm already leery of it. Dunno if they've worked the bugs out but I watched my neighbor not get to drive has later model truck with one of those engines because it was constantly at the dealer. Was a brand new truck.

    Replacing ignition on old 165hp GM inline-6

    HELP Throttle and Steering Cable Lengths

    Do you still have the originals? If so you can get the part number off of them or just pull them and measure. If not there are online guides to help you figure out the measurement.

    your opinion

    Either rebuild as a stroker or pick up a stroker short or long block. Closed loop cooling systems have been around forever. Considering the year you have, you can probably order the parts needed.
