Update;
The Leisure-lee is still up on stands in a back parking lot.
I have the shaft and Props. The strut,rudder and rudder housing are being cast by Buck Algonquin. When I get the bills I will list the casting numbers for future reference. I have Progressive and they have been pretty good to...
Re: Something bad already happened....
PPS I would recommend getting a new coupling which General prop will fit properly to the new shaft so you don't have to worry about fitting the old one.
Re: Something bad already happened....
If you haven't gotten the info yet call General Propeller in Tampa Fl they make the shafts for the Searays. They cranked one out for me in 2 days and shipped it so I ordered it on Monday and had it by Friday. Talk to Robbie if he needs the numbers tell...
Thanks Al: There are stress cracks in the strut so I do not think straightening will work.
I will check with BA re: the rudder ( the original is is still residing back around Hog's Island in Bristol, RI
After I remove the board holding the hot water heater and I can get at the hull...
Gentle men: I need help. I managed to hit a rock Sunday and took out the Stbd running gear including shaft,shaft strut, prop rudder and rudder shaft. I have a new shaft and props coming in by Monday. I need to find the strut,and rudder
Gentlemen: I need assistance.
A rock jumped up and took out my running gear from the shaft aft. I need to find where one procures a shaft strut, rudder and rudder post.
I have a new shaft and props coming in by Monday.
I already have a call into SeaRay
Updates:
The snow is melting and my dinghy has re emerged from a snow bank so it is time to start getting ready to enjoy "Spring" ( it is still a whopping 45 degrees out but at least I am no longer locked in ice!
My generator issue has been partially solved. My yard foreman has a brand new...
Thank you Tom. Can I order direct from you? Whenever I go to a local dealer they are usually at a loss in fiquiring what I want and keep trying to sell me a whole kit including a pump.
Tom: I am installing the additional set of 12x12 inboard of the drive tunnels on a 1986 390EC. I bought Bennett tubing and tabs and am working on the other items. If I can not locate them I will contact you for help. Thank You Rich R
With my 3208T 310 at the prop I run a 20.5x20 4 blade Federal with the Searay cup ( I learned about this from the outfit in Tampa that makes the shafts and props for Searay ) on my port and I run a 20.5x19 with a medium cup.on the stbd I needed the difference to get my stbd engine up to the...
As an aside most marine mechanics recommend you hit WOT every now and then to a) make sure the engines are hitting their proper rpms at full load. If they are not it is an indication something is wrong ranging from too much slime or build up on the bottom to improper prop performance b) clean...
I don't know about too high if your WOT is 4200-4400 however I would think you would need a C130 tanker behind you permanently attached to your fuel inlet.
I just looked. My warning says the partition must be latched while underway.
I pretty much have always left it up. Even in 8 to 10's it has never budged. It is very heavy and a spring loaded operation would be handy.
Mine works just as yours: auto elevation via my biceps and bolt locking via fine motor skills.
I will take pics. All I need to do is fiqure how to get my images onto the site. The site keeps telling me I am using too big of a data set.
Re: Fixing partion between salon and stateroom
Mine is an eye bolt that is just hoding it up. It does not quite lock it. I wondered if there was some internal barrel sleeve into which the eye bolt should fit.
I guess I'll have to pull it apart and see what is or is not there.
I'll keep you...
Fixing partion between salon and stateroom
