    Flotation foam

    2# foam references how many pounds per cubic foot of volume so a 4# kit of 2# foam is 2 cubic feet a 16# kit is 8 cubic feet of 2# foam so, measure how much volume you have, then order the size of kit that will fill that volume.

    Value of Brand New never used 1978 Evinrude 55 HP 2Stroke outboard 55875?

    I agree that $5k is a bit heavy. however if stored in a climate-controlled environment, and it turns over maybe $3500. all the rubber bits will need to be replaced (rubber life is 15 years max) along with the gear lube, etc. if stored in a damp basement you may be looking at wall-art in that...

    Bad day on the water - NEED ADVICE!!

    I would pull the motor and replace everything aft of the motor myself. yes, because if the impact broke things outside the boat, is most likely broke things in the boat at a minimum you should inspect. this would be an insurance claim.

    Engine vibrating after water in engineoil

    first, welcome aboard you have 1-piece engine killer manifolds on your 4.3? I would switch them to the new 2-piece. there is no such thing as a good 1-piece manifold, AKA "Batwing" AKA "engine killer" because of the casting process, and the core shift that happens with every cast product...

    You may find used. However used manifolds are like buying used depends...... Remember, boating is an expensive hobby, and $1200 for an aluminum manifold that is no longer available from the manufacturer is a deal

    you cant unmake bad gas. once gas turns to varnish, your only choice is to pump it out, pay to dispose of it, clean the whole fuel system and then start over with fresh gas

    Removal of AQ170 engine.

    or weld a plate on the end of the PDS shaft, and use the porta-power to pull it off the motor........ you would need a new PDS shaft and flex plate at that point
