Re: Reinstalling heads/exhaust

Ok then, if there isn’t head damage I can replace gasket. If I do that I will get heads and valves gone thru. Is that advisable on an engine with that kind of wear. Close to 2,000 hrs.
Can you speak to that?
Appreciate your willingness and time to respond.
Thank you.

Re: Reinstalling heads/exhaust

I’m looking into a possible blown head gasket on a 1977 318 28’ fly ridge. The motor has 1,800 hours. My question is with this many miles does it make sense to repair and replace only the upper half of the engine. Any advice will be appreciated.
Boat is in eastern Kentucky. Cave Run Lake.

Re: reverse rotation engines

New owner here, 28’ flybridge 1978, I would like to know if my motor is reverse or standard rotation. If I’m looking forward which direction should motor be spinning? Clockwise or counterclockwise?

I just got a quote from Jasper, the 318 is right at $3,000 now. They need to know what rotation the motor needs to be. Sounded like there was one ready to ship.

Hull or vin number...

Hello Aluminum Cruiser owners. We purchased a 1978 Marinette flybridge with a single 318.
Love the boat. When we tried to get it registered county clerk said we need a rubbing of thevin number or hull number. Can anybody tell us where that number is located?
