Not an issue, Tony. My last post here helps with counter rotation motor identification. It certainly cleared the issue for me, and I'm sure it will be useful to others. The question that ties to it is where can I put informative links so they're listed by subject. As to my motors, I'm still in proce...

I think it may be helpful, I certainly found it informative. I have a few more that may be interesting as well. If there is a better posting place, please let me know.

The link below a written motor rotation reference.

Ok,
I'm reasonably sure the port is counter as each wheel should turn "outboard" in forward, but I'll check.
Thanks

I haven't tried these yet, but am buyng a set to restore my rail to "clear matte", and buff out other items. The rail has been painted white, has similar conditions to yours in several areas. *I may have start with a 400 grit flapper if these aren't up to the removal task. For the investment$, and g...

Shazam Thanks!!! Here's a short vid of interior "public space" from shortly after purchase. I dropped the "Ed MacMann" voiceover https://photos.app.goo.gl/X9jPcVjqYbsoeY2j7 Yep, I think it's an uncommon find. Mostly original, with bought factory upgrades. The AC works, both systems wiring aren't too...

1st-I really appreciate the inputs! They all have been helpful. 2nd-Thanks for putting up with me!! Shazam- I'm starting what I see as a long duration process. I know it will be worth it, but I'm slightly conservative on luxuries, so everything "at it's own pace". This topic- The quick and likely ro...

To reply to the current exhaust condition: Typical factory velocijet system. I think these were designed around the higher compression Crusader 351. Mine Mercruiser 260 gen1 Transom- Both sides are 1" +/- above waterline even with full fuel.. Looks like1-1/2 or 2" exit At sides- smaller rectangular ...

Stuart area. 10 mi to St Lucie inlet, 6-8 to Gulfstream. As far as the powerplants, i agree there are benfits to move away from inboard gassers. I don't like needing a set of blowers either. I did put a new pair in.. If i can find comparable diesels that fit in current space, I'll consider it. I nee...

Take a look at my 1st post pictures. You may find a solution for your upper support/shade. 4 verts on arch into FB rear taper. EASY for cable routings, clean for clutter. STRONG build- I actually use the shade build as "steadying" grab bar when standing Handholds I intend to add an 18" handhold on e...

I realize I'm long winded Tony, thanks for continued patience. I've looked at putting a bracket & outboards. This requires reinforcing the transom, removing fuel tank. and redistribution of weight to accommodate. Great idea, but a LOT of dry time and $$. The change to diesel is interesting, your sug...

Not sure on shaft size, but will check. The tank is aluminum. Not sure about past, however when I got it, put in a gallon of Seafoam. Then ran about 80 gallons down. I filled with 150 of Rec90, and added 2 gallons of Seafoam. The fuel filters were reasonably fresh at buy, nothing substantial in filt...
