    New to me used 2.3l

    I had a similar issue with the idle as you are, I found out that the counterweights for the advance in the distributor were bad.

    Delaminating big time

    Without seeing what it looks like physically one other possibility for delamination is improper surface preparation. If this is the case there is the potential for more to delaminate.

    New to me used 2.3l

    An alignment issue between the drive and engine won't cause the shifting issue you are currently experiencing. I did a little digging and the part number for the lower shift cable for a 1986 and the following years is different. If I'm understanding your information correctly you went with the...

    Only 2 9ft stringers on the whole boat? Need to add more?

    This is how my setup was, albeit my boat may be smaller because my stringers were 3/4" plywood. As you can see how stringers, bulkheads and engine mounts are ties together to form the spine "structural part" of your boat.

    Mine did too! I purchased DE1611, the cap of course looked a bit darker but it makes a cleaner/brighter look. I will get the OMC charcoal paint for the drive though.

    CDI Shift Interupter

    Hi all, I posted this in my other thread but I picked up a good running engine and it had this CDI Shift Interupter on it. Is this something I should keep or revert back to the original setup. Thank you.

    My other engine ran obviously but it just didn't sound right. I'm just wondering about valves because one cylinder was alot lower on compression than the other three, which may be why I had trouble getting the idle in the correct range. I'm definitely going to tear into it at some point in the...

    This engine came with the CDI shift interupter on it, is it a good unit or should I use the OEM setup. I'm sure there are pros and cons to both, concerned about dependability.

    Hi everyone, It's been quite sometime for an update, but I have news that should put some of the issues I've had with the drive train to rest. I was fortunate to find a perfectly running engine and drive for extremely little money. I did the typical prestart procedure due to it sitting for many...
