build you a smaller version of a hoist like they have on the crab boats to pull the pods in. You could start by mounting a captains chair base on the rear of the boat with a removable swing arm and post constructed of aluminum, you could probably get the aluminum from a welding shop. And that...

I'd use a shop vac to suck it out and get it dry. Now for the wood, good luck on your floor project, it isn't gonna get any better.

drop the hose on the water circulation pump to drain it as well.

I would start with a 16x15P, 16 is the largest diameter prop that will work with with your Alpha and my reason for the 15 pitch is your only getting 3200 RPMS's when the engine should turn 4800, there are alot of problems that can contribute to lugging a engine besides the prop. List of...

the picture is in " Boating " in the July/Aug issue and it has 4 shots of the boat 2 of which are of the boat in tow one in the water just after the launch and 1 of the boat bein backed down the ramp and it is probably a 1977 model or so but looks to be a 260. The picture of it backing down the...

I would check to gear ratio in that outdrive and see what ya got. Something doesnt sound quite right, a 15 pitch should make that outfit rev to the moon and your on the money with what the engine should turn, I'd shoot for 4600 to 4800 though, just sayin

if the softness is only above the fuel tank and no where else and everything is all good and what will suit your needs I'd say your golden, it would be nothing to just replace that maybe a couple of hours at the most, as for an I/O I wouldn't consider anything other than a mercruiser, as where...

we all know the cheapest part of owning a boat is just the purchase.

I would have started the boat up on water and let it run before I took them apart, if it ran cool I would have left them alone until I put it in the water, the hose will have colder water than the river or lake,however if it cooled on the hose I would have checked it out in the river or lake to...

" Shes a beauty Clark "

wal mart has boat covers, in the winter you could store it indoors or, store it outdoors cover it, then throw a tarp over it and strap it over the boat until spring.

he's talking about the outdrive gaskets, and I would pull the drives and inspect the bellows, the gimble bearing, and alignment and get impellar kits for both drives, grease the U joints and the gimble bearing throw all that back together, fill with new gear oil, just a couple hours of work and...

hey there Phish this thread is from last year, start a new thread with your pics.

The old hatch looks like wall paneling, the new will look nice, I just priced that stuff and man was it high. I would be concearned about gas fumes, you might get a stationwagon effect and smell a bit of gas fumes with the spaces between each plank, but then again you might not, something to...

Okay, I am always buying and selling on E bay, within the past 6 months or so the policy has changed and even though you have paid, the money is basicly in the possession of paypal and they WILL NOT release the money to him until you have left feed back. So until doing so the money will be...

I'm with cage rattler, I would drop to a 14.5 x 17P if I were you, will give you more RPM's and a better holeshot and better all around performance when loaded with people and gear, that 4.3 should turn 4600 as long as its propped right, you might lose a couple MPH on the top end but at the same...

pull the manifolds and risers together and take them and have them pressure tested sounds like they are leaking and would be the source of the water in the cylinders. Also be sure to not let the water sit in the cylinders get all the water out and spray some oil of your choice into the...

harv it indeed is an inconvenience to access the bow with our boats...dropping achor is rough. I like the floor space we have in our little boats, but I see you got 2 foot itus

Not only are they loud, they are also priced ridiculous at $481 for a set, I paid around $90 for mine. Constructed of all stainless steel and are plenty loud.
