Hey all, I have a 1972 F-25 for sale. It has: Fish finder, inverter, shorepower, hot water heater, inverter, a/c, battery charger (mounted) Holding tank, aluminum fuel tanks port and starboard, and recently installed MerCruiser 454, swim platform, boarding latter, extra prop, refridge. I have found ...

......hooked it all up. But when I went to install the closed system heat exchanger I was preplexed. It is a forward mounted unit and my engine hatch will not sit flush. So here is what I wanna do. Has anyone installed a T-valve in-line of the raw water pipe? Its designed to flush the engine with in...

The last engine in that F-25 was a 305, and a 350 before that. I think that it may be a Monel shaft. Not sure. I need to check.

The shaft is 1" stainless steel. The engine is rated at 330 hp at 4800 RPM.

Well, I have the engine and I am using a velvet drive 1:1 tranny, and I am also using the original Crusader tranny mounts, so the coupler lines up with the shaft very well. Now, can that inch shaft stand the 454 spinning it? And to get on plane at the lowest RPM, what RH prop do I need? 1972 F-25......

I see your point. I would love to go with the 350, but I will have to wait for the tech to build one. Which sux. Plus, I really don't want a rebuilt engine. I figure if I get this engine and not happy with it, I can always trade it for a 350. I mean this engine is clean and preforms FLAWLESSLY. The ...

I am gonna put this engine in during the weekend and need to get some input. I think if I prop her right and stay off the gas that I will be ok. Any expericence with a 454 in an F-25 would be a great help.

Hi all, I was trying to prop my boat right with a 305 engine, but I got a great deal on a Mercrusier 454 with 62 hours on it. Right hand engine. I think this will solve my spped issues. I am not going to run it hard, just like to have the power there, and I could not resist the deal. If I keep those...

Check the bulkhead beneath the helm console.

Thanks Paul, I have tried to locate a 12x10 LH prop. I cannot find one!!! Does anyone have one that they would care to part with? I have a 14x14, and 14x10 that I would trade, or I will buy it outright. I need one. Also, on that same engine, at idle I am getting a hint of fuel from the exuast. Could...

I have a 1978 F-25. I have a rebuilt 305 closed system engine installed with only a 1:1 tranny, no room for a reduction gear. I had a 14x14 on it and I could not get but 2500 RPMs wide open, I then put on a 14x12 and got 3500 to 3800 RPMs. I am looking for a LH 12x10 this should put my RPMs where I ...
