    [SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Just out of curiosity... which rule of thumb was used to set the initial AV plate height? I know there were a few options and I'm curious (and don't remember because CRS) what the initial height was.

    [SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    200 is pretty close to what I spent yesterday. :oops:

    It was never about the fuel. It's about the journey. At least I keep telling myself that as I laugh filling the tank. :)

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    For those keeping track at home, no more vibration with the new hub.

    [SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    These are 19s you're running? My guess is ~52 MPH assuming it was propped for middle of the WOT range. Any faster than that and you may force me to drop a 350 in my boat on principle. :LOL:

    Yeah. They're better at cruise but a couple mph slower at wot in my experience.

    Dual props add a lot of drag up top though

    Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

    First time in a long time I've beached it. Got some lunch.

    Water in gear oil... (Not a great day)

    Swapped the new hib kit in. Will report later. Did wreck the new style tab washer before reaching proper torque though so I swapped back to the old spliced part.

    [SPLASHED] I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I need a db meter to prove it. :ROFLMAO: I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I saw (heard) a Honda in the wild. That's a good thing.

    1999 MerCruiser 4.3 Alpha 1 Gen 2 Ignition Type and Timing Question....

    I don't believe car applications got knock sensors. But yes, that is TBV. In base timing, you get some advance but no idle compensation and a few other things. If it's set correctly, your timing mark won't even hit with a standard light without it disconnected at idle. With throttle you still...

    Really dry around here

    Driest 7 month start to the year for us since we started monitoring in the late 80s. Like 10 inches behind the gun from 1/1 and over 2 feet since 24

    Exhaust bellow slipped off

    Dad never used bellows adhesive on his personal boats with no ill effects. He always used it on customers boats for the sake of law suits... I've never owned a gen II or bravo but on my alpha I've done it both ways... I also only use the exhaust tube. No reason to **** around with bellows there...

    Is it optical or is the back of the trailer slightly bent? (Tail light to fender)

    I picked a good week to go to OBX. Been pretty bad in jersey I'm told.

    Merc 250 Verado Fuel increase

    If it helps, I stripped and painted my lower by the book and about half of it peeled off in sheets after one six hour outing. :rolleyes:

    rant

    My captain worked the 90s pinelands fire in NJ and the one a couple years back. In all his years he said he's never seen a fire move that fast, day or night. I can only imagine the ones up there.

    Best Deep Cell Marine Batteries

    Costco is more $ and less convenient for me. And their prorated warranty (changed in the last couple years in the US but is still the old policy in Canada if memory serves) is the worst offering now. The current best value is walmart with the 3 or 4 year warranty vs the 3 year prorated offered...
