    Small Cruiser Stereo Upgrade

    you can, however you will have clashing music because its not a big boat which would get annoying. see for your self, use a bluetooth speaker and place it in the cabin, then see how each "zone" has to listen to two different songs on my boat, I have the cabin speakers running direct off the...

    Max Horsepower Rating Interpretation

    because the load path is different on an I/O vs an outboard an outboard is clamped to the top of the transom, the force of the prop is trying to pry the transom off the back of the boat with a long lever arm an I/O is mounted low to the transom and stringers, much less force on the transom...

    What´s the best replacement for AQ271C (or 570) 5.7 GM engine, ideally stroker?

    the mercruiser camshaft is same for the 350 and 383, only difference is the 1.6:1 rockers. they use a flat top 4-relief piston (not a proper piston for building a 377 or 383)

    Mercrusier 3.0 and 4.3 compatiblity

    you can get props low enough if the drive is a 1.81:1. however if its a 1.62:1, no also, the inline motor has a different input shaft than the V-motors. you will need to swap input shaft

    OMC to Volvo Penta?

    reason I ask, the Y-pipe isnt there. that part may cost you as much as $500 to find. and transom shields from behind the 4-bangers do not have the extra idle relief holes.

    No spark plug spark... 170 MC , 1985 Sea Ray

    bullcrap. you dont even need the distributor cap on to check dwell, you need the dwell meter across the coil terminals and you need to be able to crank the motor. thats how I have been adjusting point gap for nearly 40 years. timing light while cranking is how I normally set timing on any new...

    Vintage Trolling Motor " Twin Fins" manual trolling motor circa 1950's

    as far as value, maybe as wall art. using it would get old after 50 feet and it would scare the fish away.

    No spark plug spark... 170 MC , 1985 Sea Ray

    if there was any current, you would be dead when it shocks you points film over when sitting however you have stated repeatedly that you have spark at the coil. if you have spark at the coil and none at the plugs, its either the cap, rotor, or wires if you do not have spark at the coil, the...
