    7.4MPI harmonic balancer bolt size

    Can anyone tell me what size socket I need to turn the harmonic balancer bolt on the 7.4MPI? I'm heading this afternoon to look at a boat that has one and need to see if it turns. Unfortunately, I didn't know I was doing this when I left the house so I have to buy whatever I need. Thanks.

    1994 Proline - Fire damage

    After a couple years, I'm back to the restoration forum.... Due to moving we had to abandon the last project, the 1971 Concorde but we are in the process of purchasing a 94 Proline 2510 Walk Around with the 7.4L I/O. The Proline suffered a fire and by all accounts, and my inspection, it...

    Garmin GPSMAP 440s and Airmar P17 transducer - can it work?

    I have a Garmin GPSMAP 440s and am trying to get them to work together. The tranducer has 3 wires (blue, black, clear) and all of the wiring diagrams say blue is depth +, black is depth -, and clear is either temp or shield. The garmin wiring diagram says pin 4 is depth +, pin 5 is depth -, and...

    Echo map 50s doesn't read the bottom when on plane

    I have the 50s installed in my 2008 Maxum and decided to mount the transducer on the transom instead of a shoot thru hull like gpsmap 440s that's also in the boat. For whatever reason the 50s will not read when on plane which usually means it's mounted in a bad place but I've tried 2 locations...

    2008 3.0 Alpha 1 - suddenly has no power, won't go above 3000rpm

    A couple weeks ago I found an oil leak that turned out to be from the lifter cover. I ordered the gasket, took everything apart (to find that there's no gasket just form-a-gasket) and put it back together with new sealant and everything from an oil perspective is okie dokie. Last weekend we...

    2008 3.0ĺ mystery cover behind distributor

    Last time out I found some oil in my bilge and tonight was looking around to find it. It looks like there may be some oil coming from behind a cover that bolts to the block behind the distributor. It goes the length of the block and has 4 bolts, one directly under each spark plug. The bolts have...

    Highway permitting service

    I am going to need to trailer my boat from NJ to FL and considering that it's 10'6" wide and on the trailer about 11' high, I'm assuming that I will need permits for at least some of the states. Does anyone know of a service that can handle getting the permits for multiple states for a trip...

    Thru transom exhaust flange questions... with pics

    The port side exhaust flange was leaking so now that it's out of the water, I started digging into it and found some interesting stuff. First off, the port side flange is significantly smaller diameter than the starboard side. 3 1/2" on one and 3 1/8" OD on the other. The exhaust pipe is...

    Would ash be a good wood for counter tops and tables?

    A winter project is to replace the counter tops in the bathroom and kitchen of the 1971 Concorde. I could buy laminated particle board but that will fall apart eventually just like what's in there now so I'm thinking of something like ash that would be stained and covered with clear epoxy...

    Chrysler LM318 - Fresh water cooled - No coolant in the tank

    I hear big problems with my LM318. When I brought the boat 60 miles up the river to bring it home for the winter, I had absolutely no problems with the cooling system and the temp gauge stayed in the normal range the entire trip. Today, I was winterizing the engine and when I took the...

    Lowrance Elite 5 HDI - can I search included waypoints?

    Before I take this thing out and return it to the store, I figured I'd ask in case I'm missing something... In my small boat, I have an older Garmin GPSMAP 440s and the thing is great. One feature that I love, but can't seem to do with the brand new Lowrance Elite 5 HDI is search the included...

    Chrysler M318B - max rpm?

    I'm looking online for the specs but can't find anything conclusive. What's max RPM for a 1971 Chrysler 318? I was cruising at 1/2 throttle doing 22kts at anywhere from 4500-5000rpm. I'm thinking I need to go up in prop pitch, but need to know where it should be before buying a new prop. Thanks.

    Chrysler M318B - More cooling system questions

    I figured out that the 318 in my 1971 Concorde is fresh water cooled and the cooling system works very well. We ran her at 22knots for about 5 hours on Sunday and the temperature stayed on the lower side of normal all day. I couldn't be happier. What I found on Monday when I removed the cap...

    Sealing windows and rubrail

    We took the 1971 Concorde out of the water yesterday and are starting to assess the things we need to tackle in the off-season. Sealing and waterproofing is around the top of the list so the questions begin. I'm sorry but I know that this must have been covered but searching came up with some...

    coolant flush Chrysler lm318

    My 1971 lm318 is fresh water cooled and needs to be flushed. What's the best way to accomplish this? Should I remove the return hose from the heat exchanger and keep clean water flowing into the expansion tank? Would this be the same as removing the upper radiator hose in a car and keeping the...

    1971 Chrysler M318B - transmission not shifting

    So far, I have not been able to get the engine running however I have noticed that when I crank the engine, the output shaft from the reverse unit turns in the same direction as the engine and I cannot turn the prop by hand which seems to indicate that it's in gear despite the shift lever being...

    Chrysler M318B - high torque or standard starter?

    I need a new starter for my M318B and am finding the high torque gear reduction starters for a reasonable price but need to know if there are certain situations / configurations where these starters don't work? I don't want to order a htgr starter and have to send it back if it doesn't work...
