    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    350 correct? 12mm should fit the hole. Its a 1/2 pipe which is about 7/8 inch in diameter or so if memory serves. I'd inspect the oil pan carefully. The steel ones can and do rot out if you have one. Engine mounts if theyre original too I'd replace.

    Thinking about making a trailer cover... Opinions wanted.

    So I returned the carver for another carver. If I didn't have a swim platform you'd have thought this thing was fitted perfect to the boat. But alas with the over rail mount for the platform I am about 6 inches too short. (Never heard that one before) So I exchanged for the next size up...

    So @redneck joe I think you've won? (Shows how busy I've been, didn't realize it was the 26th until I looked at the log book!)

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Sorry, 1708 for example is 17 oz biaxial cloth stitched to 3/4 ounce csm. 1808 is 18 ounce and so on. CSM is chopped strand mat and is sold by weight.

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    There's no stupid questions sir. The dumbest are simply the ones never asked. Went through this at work a few weeks ago. I'm not an electrician by any means but ours rewired a VFD cabinet and we were not getting any control of the VFD through the system. He starts ripping apart his wiring...

    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    I watched a guy from bluewater talking about mounting height, he was saying every 10 inches back from the end of the running surface they move them up an inch or so as a "rule of thumb" Since the running surface is being extended here, they may not end up being "up" all that much. I'd imagine...

    1981 Rinker with Mercruiser 120HP, In what order should I do these repairs??

    48 is the oil seal, 49 the rubber shift shaft bushing and 50 is the stainless washer. 49 is a rubber washer where 48 is an actual lip seal and 47 the actual metal thread in seal.

    Hopefully that holds up better than my truck bed did...

    Boats from work.

    Crocs hold up to way more abuse than sea deck in my experience. :p I was today years old when I learned plasteak makes an EVA product. I had looked into maybe using that for my swim platform but after seeing a few of them in the wild... real teak looks way better. (And I have enough of it on...

    Wish you were closer. You could have the rest of my CSM and 1708. It's odd, I can't really give the stuff away it seems.

    New old boat checklist.

    Just peeking, looks like it may be a janome built unit and is front loading. (Both pluses.) If you can get a walking foot for it, do it. Makes feeding so much easier. Nice pickup!

    One or two "ribs" extending to the gun wall will probably do it. A shrink wrap gun over the pipe forms it nice to shape

    New old boat checklist.

    Just out of curiosity, is it an alpha? (I forget your exact year but early 80s are a little fudgy) The impeller housing are all the same but the lower plate is different depending on which revision it is. I would do the whole thing just because (and it sounds like you plan to) but that's...

    Do they have a measurement for how flat it needs to be like the I/Os?
