    88 Bayliner Trophy 1710 - wet foam and ...?

    In the spring, I was preparing to continue my previous project, when I saw a 17' 1988 Bayliner Trophy centre console for sale. I had started to realise in the fall that the Chrysler was going to be less boat than I really wanted, and when I saw this I decided to abandon the first project. This...

    Bayliner Trophy 1988 centre console - removing cap

    I've come to the conclusion that the foam in the stern of my 17' 1988 Bayliner is soaked and needs to be replaced. Even with a light 250lb motor (Chrysler 105HP) she sits quite low in the water at the stern, and when I sit on the gunwales at the stern water will start to come in through the...

    1980 Chrysler 7.5HP propeller options

    I recently picked up a lovely little 7.5HP Chrysler outboard. It will see use both on my 12' tin boat and as a kicker on my 17' Trophy. Just wondering if anyone knows what options I have with respect to props. It has a plastic prop on it (never seen that before on a gas outboard) that will...

    Control cable for Chrysler 105 HP

    Picked up a 1988 17' Bayliner centre console in April which I cleaned up and found a late 70s Chrysler 105 to put on it. Having set the timing (thanks Frank for the video!) and sorted out the fuel line problems, the motor runs well, but I have shifting problems. The core of the problem is that...

    Which pivot for chrysler controls

    I seem to have lost one of the little brass pivots that connect the cables to the controls on the 1970s Chrysler controls. Looks like one of these: http://www.iboats.com/Teleflex-Pivots/dm/cart_id.075759782--session_id.085695592--view_id.47722 but I'm not sure which one. Anyone know which one...

    Reversing controls for 1971 chrysler 55hp

    I'm converting an old runabout to a centre console, and need to sort out the controls. Currently they are mounted on the starboard side of the boat, as is typical. If I re-use them on the side of the console, they'd be flipped around. Can these be reversed? It's a single lever shift + throttle...

    1972 Chrysler Charger 118 conversion

    Re: 1972 Chrysler Charger 118 conversion Dad spent the day getting the last of the fittings removed and put away for reuse, and tackled removing the foam. Here's where he ended up: At this rate it will be all ready for me to grind out the tabbing and what's left of the stringer in the middle...

    1972 Chrysler Charger 118 conversion

    Re: 1972 Chrysler Charger 118 conversion I guess i'll stick to this thread. Here are some more before pictures: My dad has enthusiastically attacked the deconstruction while I'm at work, and now we are here: Last night I went over after work. We turned the motor over with the starter, but...

    1972 Chrysler Charger 118 conversion

    Hi All... I have recently acquired an 1972 Chrysler Charger 118 "hydro-vee" 14' runabout, for the purposes of making it into a fishing boat: My thought is to turn it into a centre console with the batteries and fuel tank mount below the sole with a view to an uncluttered boat. This will be a...

    1960 Merc400 shifting problem

    I'm having some problems shifting my 4 cyl 1960 Merc 400. When I got it last year I dropped the lower unit to replace the impeller (see: Thread: 1960/61 Merc 400 shifting problem (no reverse locking cam?) ). Last week I got it all hooked up again, started her up, but when I put it into reverse...

    1960/61 Merc 400 shifting problem (no reverse locking cam?)

    Hi... I have a 60/61 Merc 400 (essentially the same as a Mark 58A, I'm told) that I'm trying to get working. Motor runs well, but when I put it into gear it stalled. Took off the lower unit to replace the impeller and have a look, and when I put it back I can't get it into gear at all. Before...
