    1963 75hp Cooling Anomaly - RESOLVED

    The SB side was much, much too cool. I decided to inspect the plugs on that side. Ouch: Yes, that's water on the plugs.

    1963 75hp Cooling Anomaly - RESOLVED

    Oy. I learned a lot this weekend but perhaps not what I wanted. I'll post info today as I get time. ​I looked at the vernatherms and one piston was slightly longer than the other but even then, it was certainly long enough to unseat the valve at the proper temperature as in the second pic below...

    1963 75hp Cooling Anomaly - RESOLVED

    Unfortunately, my pics all seem to be at an angle like the pic below. I may get to my parts motor this weekend and I can try to figure it out, but I suspect that you are correct that the water flow here is very similar to the crossflow. ​Again, I'm just trying to fully understand the flow in...

    1963 75hp Cooling Anomaly - RESOLVED

    This is the water passage that F_R was referring to that allows water to pass even when the t-stat valve is closed. Seems incredible that enough water can make it through that tiny groove.

    1963 75hp Cooling Anomaly - RESOLVED

    Now I'm trying to figure out some last details about the water flow. As F_R already pointed out, the water to the cylinder banks comes up through the restricted hole marked as #1 on the adapter plate in the first pic and into the unrestricted hole in the block, also marked as #1 in the second...

    1963 75hp Cooling Anomaly - RESOLVED

    I couldn't figure anything out this weekend. ​F_R, I do have the return hose connected from the water choke to the port side of the adapter plate and I can now see what you mean about it returning down the port-side water pipe back to the water pump without going through the relief valve (first...

    1963 75hp Cooling Anomaly - RESOLVED

    First of all, great to be back reading some interesting posts here again. ​Quick summary: I finished my engine rebuild back in 2011 and immediately moved out of the country. Nearly every component was replaced during my rebuild. The boat and engine has been stored since then. I'm back...

    Outboard Overkill?

    Sorry for the not-so-clear pic, but I only had my old cell phone with me that day. The boats in the middle of the pic are fast ferries in Bali. Two of the boats had 9 outboards each of 250hp . Seemed kind of overkill to me. Wouldn't it be better to go with an inboard, high power design instead...

    Fujinon vs. Nikon Image Stabized (IS) Binoculars

    I am in the market for IS binos for use on a boat. I had my selection down to 3 models from Fujinon, Nikon, and Canon. But it turns out that Canon dealers here in Singapore won't allow me to try before I buy. There's no way I'll drop more than a grand on binos if I can't try them first to see...

    Can't Connect from Singapore

    I've been either posting or viewing for some years now, but it seems that since I moved to Singapore, I've been having trouble connecting to the forums. The first year or so, I would connect ~half of the time that I attempted. Perhaps this was due to me trying to connect from different...

    Tilt Bolt Adjustment

    Motor in signature, though this thread could relate to many models and years. There's been a few threads on tilt bolts lately and it got me thinking about mine. How tight should the spring and nut be? If I'm thinking of this correctly, then there are 2 things to consider: 1. Being able...

    Where is the Draft Copy?

    I notice that the forum Auto-Saves a post while I'm writing as a draft copy in case something goes wrong. Question is, where do I find that draft copy?

    Winterizing (at the beginnig of summer)

    I'm back in the US for 1 week but it seems that isn't enough time to visit all the friends and family that I had planned. I'm so busy that I won't have time to run my boat engine this year. As a recap, I finished a complete rebuild of my motor (in signature) last year in May, a few days before...

    Boat Seat Swivels

    I started another thread concerning my helm seat. I got some good advice and now I know what I'm going to try to do. I'll need to get a good stainless steel seat swivel. I'm referring to those "flat" versions that are ~2 inches high and 7"L x 7"W. I've used the powder coated model from...

    Seat Pedestal

    Hello. I have a 15.5 foot runabout with walk-through windshield. I have a new driver's seat that I'd like to mount on a swivel base. I believe that the seat has a 4-hole mounting pattern. The problem is that I cannot have a very tall base because then my head is above the windshield in a...

    Motor Fogging For Storage

    So it pains me deeply to say that now, after almost 4 years of rebuilding my motor, I must put it into storage. I'll be moving to Singapore for at least a year at the end of next week. I was racing to try to get my rebuild completed as well as the break-in but the weather here in PA was...

    1963 75hp Break-In: The Saga Continues

    Motor in signature. Trying to get this thing broken in after a complete rebuild. FSM says to run for 1 hr at approximately 3000 rpm. I did that for 40 minutes yesterday but ran into a problem with my ignition coil. I got that fixed and continued the break-in process today. I ran it for 20...

    Resolved: 1963 75hp Possibly Jumped Time (But Not Like Marty McFly)

    Motor in signature. Fresh rebuild. I finally got to go out on the lake this evening. Break-in procedure for this motor requires running at approximately 3000 rpm for the first hour. It ran great at 3000 rpm for about 45 minutes. Then I heard a misfire or something similar. This went away...
