    1973 Chrysler 45 HP, parts catalog/diagrams needed

    I am in need of the water pump seal that the shaft runs through, separating the gear oil from water pump. There are potentially other parts (maybe points/condensers) as well, so I am hoping to score some info that can keep me from ordering the wrong items. From what I found in my web searches...

    1973 chrysler 45 hp water pump part needed

    I'm not getting great water flow and I thing its partly from a worn part. On top of the water pump housing is the white plastic part that seems to guide the water up into the tube. It fits on the tube ok, but it seems loose as it sits on the housing and I believe I'm loosing water here that...

    1973 Chrysler 45 hp prop replacement?

    I've been having an issue with reaching top speed over the last two years. I've posted about it in the past, but never found the solution. The motor seemed to go out of gear ? at about 3/4 speed.

    Chrysler 45 not pumping water

    I just changed my impeller for the first time, and took it out for a run last Sat. The water was flowing more than I'd ever seen it flow, so I was happy (although there was a bit of a new whining sound, I just assumed it was the new impeller - my first). The motor was not up to par, and seemed...

    Chrysler 45 running wild

    I "inherited" a early 70's 45hp Chrysler last year from a guy who said it "ran great." It did well for the first few trips (short runs to a fishing spot) and then it went nuts. The best way to descibe it is that while running full throttle on mild(ish) water the sound of the motor would race...
