Re: Shaft logs

Thanks!

Re: Leak at Prop Shaft?

Well first off, Sunday evening around 6:30-6:45 it rained as hard as I have ever EVER seen it rain. I'm guessing 50mph wind, and horizontal water like a fire hose. Can't even call it rain it was so hard.. 10 or so minutes of that and it was done. So in the deluge your deck might have filled up with ...

Re: Exhaust Surges

Thanks, Bill. When it comes to boats, "easy" is always a relative term. There isn't much between the strainer and block intake so yes it should be "easy".. My water pump is a Sherwood and fairly "accessible".. Also a relative term!
Thanks!

Exhaust Surges

Hi all. My exhaust is "surging" from my Stbd engine. Water flows normal, then slows to a trickle, then blasts out like a volcano. That whole cycle takes about 10 seconds. The engine isn't running hot. I checked the exhaust to see if there was a low spot in the pipe or hose and saw nothing....

Re: Prop Sizes?

Rockxx a simple rule of thumb is one inch of pitch or diameter = 100 rpm. Add an inch, lower rpmx100. Decrease an inch increase rpmx100. And I can't remember the other one.. I think more pitch = quicker to get on plane or "out of the hole". Think about the fact that in a perfect world one ...

Re: Air horns

Just wondering, did you follow the air lines all the way from the comp to the horns? Do they make any sound at all? Maybe you'll find a surprise..

Re: Swithching to hydraulic steering- Anyone done this on their own?

I have hydraulic steering in my 42' and I have to admit I'm not a fan. I like the feel of mechanical steering better. And one thing that really bugs me is that there are no stops on the wheel. I can spin it like a fan. Makes it a pain to center rudders.. A real pain at low speeds when leaving dock i...

Re: Rochester divorced chokes

I am not familiar with these springs but.. Did you try the hardware store? They usually have a large selection of springs.. Sounds stupid but I've found several springs that were "unavailable" under a particular application there. Someone somewhere is using that same spring for something e...
