Ok so I looked it up. You have a 1997 Wellcraft CCF160 which has a max hp of 70hp according to NADA, but a data manual for a 160 Fisherman I assume is a newer version suggests 90hp MAX with a 50hp standard engine option.. The biggest thing I'm looking at is it lists a 20" transom, and by looking...
I think 22" falls within a 20" long shaft motor requirements. I know a 15" short shaft motor works with up to a 17" transom. Not all transoms are an exact measurement of 15/20/25".. This is why dealers are probably looking at you like your crazy. 25" XL shafts generally start around 100hp
What...
The question isn't if the transom can hold the weight.. If it was properly rebuilt, it can... The real question is, does the boat have enough buoyancy to hold the extra weight.. Glaspar never gave a max weight, or a max hp in 1959 for the Sefair sdn. Likely because the boat could use all the hp...
I would buy a Suzuki 9.9hp.. You can upgrade to 20hp in a snap ( but it's not cheap )
I bought my DF25A recently from Online Outboards and it came quick. I don't think there is much advantage to buying a used motor unless your deal hunting. The cost difference isn't much
It's a 1988 Bayliner which probably isn't a good thing... In 1988, the Capri 1900 would be 19' long OAL and IIRC that is the longest Capri available in that generation.
However, a Bayliner without it's engine suggests that it has donated it's power plant and was deemed not worthy of repair...
Variable, but the calculations I can do from the original 1966 Johnson 40hp, to the new DF25A, and then testing the new prop will be with an identical load, same 2 people in the boat. I doubt I'm ever going to have 4 grown adults. Kids, yes
I understand that, but Suzuki does not list the 9.5" props for the 25hp. I know they will fit, but they are 9.9-20hp props. By prop calculations I need a 9" pitch, which Suzuki does not list for a 25hp. The Solas happens to be about exactly what I need and within the parameters that Suzuki would...
Not really too costly. Just Zuki doesn't make a 9" pitch in anything bigger than 9.5' diameter. Waste if I bought a non returnable item I knew wouldn't work
Suzuki does not make a 9" pitch in anything bigger than a 9 1/2" diamater, which I deemed too small. I didn't think a 10 1/4"x10 was going to make enough difference and that is the smallest prop that Suzuki lists for the 25hp, and that Suzuki prop was $175 vs the $70 that I spent... If it's...
Nope.. At the yard I go to, they bring a wheel loader and can lift very high in the air.. plucks them right out. If you can use a cordless saws all to cut the rad support, it will slide right out the front
Done it many times. What I would do is pull the engine/ trans as one unit. The trans crossmember will un bolt, and then pull the whole thing up and out.. Cut the core support/ remove radiator if you can... Once it's out and on the ground, just zip the bell housing bolts off and slide it apart...
I ordered the 11x9 Solas Amita while it was on sale. Pretty sure it's as close as I'm going to get without having a custom prop built or something.. This should slow my idle/ troll speed down as well. With the standard prop, I get 2.9 MPH. I'm hoping to get that around 1.8-1.9
I thought about...
Proceed with caution. They list locations in Oklahoma, South Africa and Turkey but with only one phone number that is not USA based.. Prices are way too cheap. It could be legit if they are selling motors that would be considered grey market in the USA ( lacking EPA cert ) but are sold at a...
Forgot to mention, that my speed at idle seems to be 2.9 Mph ( GPS ). If I get the prop that allows for a little more slip, would that get me down to 1.9 MPH for trolling? Or should I just plan on trolling bags?
There isn't much available with less than 11 pitch. Solas has an 11"x9" Amita...
Points switch the ground, you should always read at least 6v at the coil but really should be closer to 9v while running, in general... Take a jumper wire directly from the battery to the positive side of the coil and see if it will generate spark.
The Full size Chevy trucks used the 4.3L as well. Many 2wd work trucks and even 4wd trucks had them.. To get something that is as near bolt in and go as you can, find one in a similar year to your boat and use it. Just swap core plugs and head gaskets for marine versions. Will cost you $100...
