Re: Fiberglass Thru Hall Repair

The 12 to 1, I believe refers to the hole Diameter. I also believe 12 to 1 is way overkill for a small hole like this. I would taper the hull a bit and grind some around the edges ( not as deep as your drawings ) fill and glass over. I have done this more than once without issues. Thanks and comple...

Pre-launch Hull inspection over the weekend found the marina blasted and chunked off the wood around of an old depth finder thru hall. I'm looking for feedback on the proposed repair method and a...

Re: prop spin

Damper plate fixed the prop spin on my Port 318 with velvet drives. You can always start with an tranny oil change. Collect the old oil in a clear jar and inspect it after removal, (and settling..) If the oil change helps it could indicate a worn clutch plate.

Re: F31 Flybridge Troubleshooting Gauges

That’s the way WAYWEGO. Exactly what I was thinking, but my guess is RPM is going to have to match since it comes off the coil..... ?

And yes senders beat the heck out of gauge prices!

Re: F31 Flybridge Troubleshooting Gauges

Yes, Thanks for the (idiot) link! ! I swear I read that 3 times and wasn't until I typed out my post and was like wait a minute... Dis-similar gauges... From what I understand it seems like Faria uses a more universal sender than the Delcos? My guess is now that the PO replaced the helm gauges and s...

F31 Flybridge Troubleshooting Gauges

'73 F31 Fly Bridge. Helm gauges work fine. Any trouble shooting tips for Fly gauges? The RPM gauges register at idle, but do not increase properly on power... Ground issues? Connections are not new... I plan to crack open and closed all connections and see what happens from there. Battery and Oil p...

WINNER WINNER WINNER! Thanks Bob!!!

Confirms it was hooked up correctly, although it didnt seem to be logical, I think it makes sense now!

This is the config I have, and yes, Cam bolts all point outboard on their respective engines!! Thanks again!

After much time trying to find the easy answer for 'proper' factory plumbing routing on my ' 73 F31 with dual Chrysler LM 318s, RWC , Velvet drive 1:1 trannys, its time to just 'figure it out' and ask for a second set of eyes, agreement or disagreement.

Re: Chrysler 360 impeller replacement

Here is a link for the common H20 Pump in a LM 318... Original Chrysler PN 2847631 I think... They should have info on a 360 pump. (If you cant see the PN on the pump, I've found the second link and their website handy to find PNs.) https://www.pumpvendor.com/Sherwood_D65_D-65_parts.html https://www...
