    Thru hull exhaust

    Not sure how you know that as the same 454 block that went into a chevelle, also went into trucks, boats, ambulances and other things. Hope the core plugs are brass, and the cylinder gaskets are marine. Hope the cam is either Marine or Truck

    96' Johnson will rev up in neutral but only 2500rpm in gear.. No power, need help

    thought is motor running in neutral will do so with only 2 cylinders running. that proves nothing. you could have a fuel delivery issue, you could have a spark issue, you could have a timing issue, you could have 6 pistons with low compression. please answer the questions in post #2 as a...

    What Happened here??

    that may be similar, however what is in the pic is not the retention clip from OMC the corrosion pin-holes and rotten aluminum peeking out from under the shoddy sheet metal skeg repair give away the fact that the drive was toast a while ago. so now take that weakened drive and run it into...

    Thru hull exhaust

    no, a car muffler shop wont work, most are crush benders which have an 8" internal bend radius. you need mandrel bent marine exhaust pipe with a tight radius in the 4-5" range. the material which is normally 316 stainless. however if you are in fresh water, 304 would be acceptable. you will...

    What Happened here??

    the drive is toast and has been toast for a while. look at the hoaky arsed repairs done so far. someone put sheet metal over the drive, which sped up the corrosion issue, and the bearing retainer looks like someone cobbled that together with a bit of flat bar.
