I think the nicest trim tabs on the market are the PHC type. These are nearly exact copies of Mercury K-Planes, but 1/4 the price. They use Oildyne type pumps (similar to Mercury trim pump).

Which drive ratio and at what rpm? If you have a 1.5, it would mean you would have to spin 5800rpm (which is grenade zone...) (Not saying it's not true, just doesn't add up on the surface...)

Drilling the two holes to get access to the swivel pin and arm is a factory approved procedure - they sell a kit which has a template for where to drill and two plugs for the holes when you are done....

Well, it's not a Donzi, but still pretty cool...

Most boating store (WestMarine, etc) will have splicing services.

There are several online resources if you want to try it yourself:

I have a good stock of parts (we are the 11th largest boat dealer in US, authorized for Merc, Volvo and Yamaha), and being in Florida my supply chain is strong, so if I don't have it I can normally...

Hmmm - there are several problems going on here.

First, let me say that I don't know Michigan laws, don't know K&M, and I'm not an attorney (although I did spend some time in law school...)

First, proceed with caution, as this can get expensive and time consuming. I didn't want a boat as much as I wanted another project, so I'm having a great time with mine (25 Widow, 460 Cobra to 496...

I figure I should know the answer to this, but I'm still investigating.

The Black Widows (mostly?) came with OMC drives, but they use the OMC package that has the same transom cutout as Bravo. ...

Hi All

I have a (new) Volvo drive identifier chart - about 3x2 feet, shows all the different drive types (lots of them) and how to identify them. Great for garage or office...

Yes, it was a nice weekend, and I saw lots of boat out.

My boat still sinks (as there is nothing filling the big hole in the middle of the transom), but I hope to be floating soon...

Ok, here is offered a 1990 Donzi Black Widow - 30ft, yellow.

New cockpit vinyl, new cover, new bimini. Transom and floor have been restored, cabin is nice...

I think the best deal I have seen on IMCO lower units is purchasing the unit unassembled (comes with driveshaft) and several places will assemble with your Bravo propshaft and bearing carrier etc for...

Once I learned to work on fuel injection, I was amazed that anyone continued to mess with carbs.

I'm sure some people have reasons that they like carbs better...

The comparable NGK plug is the BR6FS - stock item at most marine dealers.

I have had best luck in all vehicles with NGK plugs - I have dyno results testing the 6 top brands, and NGK did best (52hp...

Yes, the front ring cleat is goobered. The support rod is rusted and the cleat is pushed up 1/8"+ - I need to wait until I get the die grinder running to remove and replace.

Supposedly, this boat ran in some Puerto Rican offshore event, and that is where the CocaCola stickers came from. (I don't believe any of this, but they look kinda cool, so they are staying for...

Thanks for the supporting comments - considering how rough the boat was when I started, I am smiling real wide... (and my shoulders are wider from running a hispeed buffer for about 100 hours...)

Finally got around to making some more headway on my 1990 Black Widow 25.

I did some refinishing on the windshield, installed interior, and got some more of the gelcoat buffed out.

To attach a -3" shorty to a Bravo upper, you need to relieve the back of the upper so that the prop will clear the cav plate. Other than this, no other mods are needed - it runs an otherwise stock...

Well, it had a King Cobra setup - 460 Ford block. I pulled this and sold it the day I bought the boat (no desire to try and make it work, although it was running).
