    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    Less likely to have transom issues with an I/O than an outboard usually. But if it’s sat full of water for years, can be an issue. Before the 2000’s generally, most boats had a wooden influence of some sort…floor, mounts for machinery or seats. Stringers etc. not my specialty at all…but I...

    excessive corrosion?

    Definitely agree with the change to magnesium. But still think given it’s likely the aluminium standard new fit…and comparing directly to mine with more exposure…there is something going on there. Suspect there is an external influence going on there.

    Old I/Os = Money Pits?

    I might be in the fence about this to be fair. Very briefly…have you seen the price of an outboard these days ? I get the upside of being able to take off and put on an outboard quickly to replace…but doing the same with a GM inboard isn’t as scary as you’d think. I’d also say that a new...

    excessive corrosion?

    Is that the anode ? If so…I’d say it’s excessive. I’ve the same engine and it’s sits in the water for 8 months if the year, for last 3 years. Mine isn’t that bad.

    Yep, another prop question!

    Excellent point… but I’m sticking with him needing more inches on the pitch for sure. Not sure I’ve known a boat similar with a 4.3…and only a 17” pitch. But never know. Depending on the ratio and hull…usually be 19-23”. I’d be starting with a 19”. Also tough to start off and know where you are...

    WOT Redline issue

    Hi. Just had a thought there. If it’s the vx110 deluxe you mean…you’ve totally got the wrong impeller in there. Would usually be something like a 18/22 you’d stick in there for an upgrade.

    Help!!! Need help finding air jet. Yamaha 130hp 2 stroke.

    Hi. If it helps any…it’s the same engine as the v4 115/130/140 you have. Also literally just a 4 cylinder version of the v6 150/175/200/225 too. They share many parts. Anyway…the link below should help you at least. https://www.cmsnl.com/yamaha-115130trp-1991_model9735/partslist/B-03.html

    Stainless Steel Exhaust System for AQ271C (alternative to Hi-Tek / marinetorq)

    I’ve got corsa 90 degree elbows/divertors . If that’s what you mean. You’ll likely be right about the manifold though. Can’t think I’ve seen such a thing, to be fair.

  17. Q

    Yep, another prop question!

    It’s almost certainly going to have the rpms through the roof, if it’s the usual outdrive ratio. Bet my life on it.

    Original sterndrive ratio for the Glastron/Carlson CV-27

    Yeah it’s definitely not anything near a 1.5 ratio for sure. It just be way lower. Seems to be a fair number of old Glastron on the continent. I’ve got a very rare UK built Roger Clark Glastron CVX16. She’s from 1984. Seriously quick machine. Next year she should see into the 70’s with more...
