    Impeller for Chrysler 3.6

    The West Bend air-cooled 3.5 was also sold as a Chrysler in the mid-70's. The Chrysler 3.6 has a water pump that just pushes water up a tube, and dumps it against the lower bearing of the powerhead. But I am having problems finding an impeller. Mine is getting pretty bad. Can I run without the...

    High-Thrust Prop?

    This may be a little off-topic, but here goes: I am using a Nissan NSF 9.8 A3 long electric remote on a 7,000-pound sailboat. It replaces an old, tired, points-and-condenser 2-stroke Evinrude 15. I bought the rather radical-looking High-Thrust 4-blade 5-pitch prop that Tohatsu sells for this...

    Nissan 8 Water in Oil

    I have a 2007 Nissan 8 hp 4-stroke (NSF 8 A3, serial ending in XG) that came in to our shop in August because it didn't start. Customer said it "made a grinding noise". This is an electric start tiller model. Customer claimed less than 3 hours new, and just trolling. I found that it had liquid...

    OB size for 28' 8,000 pound sailboat

    I have an 8,000-pound sailboat that uses a small outboard for aux power, and I need to replace the motor. This is a long shaft, remote control, electric start setup, in a lazarette well. Originally, this was an anemic 9.5hp 2-stroke. Everyone has replaced them with bigger motors. We now have an...
