So what kind of make/ size motor are you running?
I am using the Glenwood high performance now, so flow should not be problem. Still have the old H/M's too, but my guess is the Glenwoods are better? Trying to get around 300 hp, maybe a little more....
I have had my 17' Champ for about 8 years now and am thinking it is time to increase my horsepower some. This is due to needing to service my intermediate bearings which will be having me pull the...
Just to update, boat is running good. Clogged bypass in tstat housing has not come back. Am using a 160 degree thermostat, but motor has not even gotten to 140 degrees yet even after hard runs.
Is...
Seems I broke my tilt/trim jack on my volvo 250 outdrive. The top housing cracked along with the screw gear that mates with the worm gear. Need the assembly only or just the two parts. Have a good...
Still trying to understand why I would run it without a thermostat. But even with a 160 thermostat, temps do not go much over 120 with one. That's on dry land or in the creek just idling around. Only...
Well, my weekend sucked. Bought 4 thermostat gaskets just in case. Removed the thermostat housing, turned out that the bypass was clogged with old gunk. Yay, I thought as it cooled the manifolds back...
So on my set up, I am not using the H/M crossover. I have in its place a stock ford water pump in its place. So, yes I am using two water pumps. and, it is all raw water. I do have the H/M tstat...
Hi Matty,
I do have an external pickup. And, am still working on the steering fork issue that is on the outdrive I planned to swap. I ended up rehanging the old outdrive onto the boat just to...
Never had a problem with overheating before, but this year all has changed. I started out the year changing the thermostat in my ford 351 Windsor. I went from a 180 degree to a 160 degree to see if...
I think I got this. I practiced using a intermediate section from one of my old outdrives. I applied some good heat and was able to softly drive out the tubes using a longer ratchet extension. The...
Yes, I greased the zerk and can see it coming out. It is moving better, but not as freely as the one the drive was on there. It seems, but hard to tell that it is stuck at the top of the fork as I...
Are you the famous f_inscreenname I've seen on youtube? If so, love the videos. Can I get a copy c.d. of the music playing, and how many cups of coffee did it take to make you go so fast? I did gain...
Still stuck. It just won't seem to loosen. Trying to get help on how to fix or rebuild steering stem on my new to me aq with the v-8 gears I've been needing for so long.
Any help would be truly...
After installing another outdrive onto my transom, I noticed the side to side play seemed too tight for normal steering operations. I want to disassemble it to properly clean and lubricate it prior...
That is where I am at, moving it back and forth. It still is too tight so, what is the process of taking it apart?
I thought I was getting close to finishing the outdrive swap and when getting ready to install steering helmet and noticed outdrive was not moving freely from side to side. I sprayed it down pretty...
Thanks Mattyboy and f_inscreenname for the information. Turns out the outdrive ratio was 2:15 which was already on the boat, even though the serial plate was marked with a 'B'. The splines on the...
Ready to remove old out drive, seems the pivot pins are stuck. Also appears none of the set screws to hold them were ever in place. Bellows were filled with water, but I thought I seen somewhere...
Was thinking about $1200 obo.
The blue one is alive and well. I want to change the outdrive this year to V8 gears. She was going around 50+ with the 6cyl. gears that are in it. 84158
It may be time to let her go. I wanted to post on here before going to craigslist or ebay. A lot of history goes along with these boats, most of which being found on this site.
I live in...
I know this is a thread from last year, but had one more question from the outdrive change. Can the yolk be changed from course to fine splines?
Did you have to change prop with outdrive swap? ....and to what size?
How about your top speed now?
