The Crusader 6.0L is 4 inches shorter than the 5.7L.

It also produces 375 hp, which may be too much for the F26. I'm not sure how much is too much.

The 5.7 mfi is a good engine. My previous boat had a Volvo Penta 5.7 GSi which I was very happy with. Others in the forum have said that the Vortec 5.7 engines are too tall to fit in the F26. Be sure to check the height of the engine to ensure that it will fit. You might have to take off the plastic...

I have 15 years experience boating with I/Os and outboards, but this is my first year with a single inboard. My F26 with no wind will back straight at idle speed with the wheel hard to starboard. It will turn to port with the wheel anywhere else. It will not turn to starboard in reverse no matter wh...

My 1971 F26 came from the factory with just the engine starting battery (Group 24). Somewhere along the line someone added a large (Group 29 I think) house battery, battery switch, and two battery charger. Both batteries are charged when plugged in to shore power. The system works well for what I do...

My tanks are out and I just checked the old Delso float type senders. They were half the current industry standard (33-240 ohm) the delco was 20-120 ohm. This certainly is a mystery. :? My American standard fuel gauges (E = 240 ohm and F = 33.5 ohm) decrease when I add fuel, so the senders I have a...

Resistance Values for Delco Fuel Senders
As I found out (the hard way), Trojans do not use standard American sending units. Replacing the oil pressure and water temperature sending units with American standard sending units will be relatively easy and inexpensive. The American standard sending unit for the fuel level is twice as expensive ...

Treatment for Teak Swim Platform
My teak swim platform is a bit weathered. What would be a good wood treatment that would not be slippery when wet? A lot of the typical wood treatments are not really suitable for a swim platform.

It is a 3 way valve: off (down to the right), thru hull (straight up), garden hose adapter (down to the left). A plug is typically installed where the garden hose adapter would be so the boat doesn't sink with the valve in the thru hull (straight up) position. If the valve was straight up without th...

I checked the voltage at my gauges last night, and the polarity was correct (yellow = 12V and white = ground). Since the polarity is correct, the senders must not be matching the gauges. I'll eventually need to switch the senders, but for now I'll just be labeling the gauges to remind me they are wo...
