If you have velvet drives you can jumper switch. It is on Starboard side of trans just aft of the trans mount.

Sounds like a cracked head. You can get a pressure checker and pressurize it to confirm. Anyway you look at it. You will have to take off head to repair.

Where would I get a fuel sending unit? Havent tested it yet but I am guessing I will need one. Its a 81 Tri Cabin.

Distributor is stock as far as I know. I will check motion of rotor when I go out there tonight.

Okay makes sense now that i know both marks are on flywheel. So is my advance done in the module? I didnt see any weights and springs...unless they are under pickup plate? My boat has heat exchangers so the flywheel way would be difficult...plus i think the pointer is missing.

So I just thought of something. I can use the other timing mark on the opposite side if I just set the motor at TDC and make a mark on the other side. WIN!

LOL. I understand how a timing light works I just need to know what side I use for what motor. There is 2 sets of timing marks on my motor. One mark that is cast into the front cover. What is the other one that is added on used for? There would have to be other marks on the balancer to use that but ...

I think I am more confused or just need to know more info. So if the flywheels have the same markings and are the same. One motor would be 8 BTDC and the motor that spins backwords would be 8 ATDC or are the bellhousing diffrent? I dont think I am going to time it by the flywheel anyways but just wo...

Couldnt you just take the cam and dizzy out of the old motor? Whould see that that would be the most straight forward. Maybe I am wrong though.

So are the flywheels diffrent starboard to port? What does this mark look like? Is it a notch? Can I use the front timing marks? If so what side is what? Thanks a bunch for covering this. I tried to seach last night but could get no straight answers. I somewhere found that #1 was on starboard side a...

So I was out on the boat and I just rebuilt one motor and got it running a few weeks ago. Well now I finally got it in the water today and was going to do a final timing check and set. Well I could never get the mark. So I did it right at some point but just need all the "correct answers" ...

I do have a spare set of props for my Tri cabin I may be interested in selling for the right price. They came with the boat. Let me know if you are interested.

I was just going to post a question but I am wondering if its more efficent to run on one motor and can it be done with velvet drives? Also what is the cheapest/best value to get into a setup that does MPG. I am assuming you need a GPS and a flow meter to go with it.

Well the problem is I know nothing about the generator. Does anyone know the model number or what kind it is?

Where can I get parts for my Onan generator. I specifically need headgaskets for it. It is the generator for of my 1981 F36 Tri Cabin,
