I pulled one in my F32 in about an hour, cost $1,000 for a rebuild easy enough to put back in, myself and a friend lifted it with a rope around one end, just lugged it around and threw in the pickup truck

I have raw water cooled 318's in my F32 and run in salt, I don't flush them, just tie the boat off when im done and leave. Ive heard bad things converting a salt/raw cooled motor to fresh water cooled, building loosening up and clogging the system and so on, Im not about to reengineer the wheel.

I just did one on a 30 ft Penn Yan, looks the same just a little smaller, even though the Penn Yan has more HP, a little thought, couple sockets, hammers and screw drivers and its wasnt that bad to change with the strut and shaft in place, did my old Silverton too, strut in place but pulled the shaf...

congrats on the extra speeds, I generally carry no water on my F32 and other boats except for extended stays at which the conclusion of i run the water tank dry, no need for extra weight and fuel burn cheers!

i used a similar product called Git Rott, waste of time and money for my application, soft floors at the top of the ladder

i replaced the cable, thats about all there is to it, local marina measured the cable and ordered from Kellog Marine, West marine can do the same,if memory recalls $55 but could have been a little bit more

cheap and easy to replace, the one I did last year was the upper cable that feed the lower helm which in turn fed the transmission. Done in under a hour.

thats awesome, they should have visited, it was a nice few days here in Rhode Island

I run only in salt (Narragansett, Cape Cod Bay and Block Island Sound) with RWC motors, with 140 t stats, sorry to let you guys know I dont rinse the motors out, but I'm curious about the anodes, should I switch from zinc to aluminum and whats the reasoning/cost. I haul out every November and relaun...

I have a 1989 Silverton 30X I believe it is going in the dumpster soon, I has 3 bomar hatches, im parting the boat out if your interested

Thanks, ill be a little more proactive when the weather warms up

Mass to New Jersey will be the biggest challenge

Where are the parts boats in New England? Myself and 3 other F32 owners are looking for a variety of parts. I located one the seller doesn't seem to want to agree on a price with me, I dont want the whole thing but was willing to pay for disposal of the hull but she isn't responding now.

Near me! Im in Rhode Island, thats a trip i plan to do down the ICW one day. Ive followed a number of boaters from New England on youtube make the journey to Florida, Bahamas, Exumas and more, a dream thus far for myself. My father used to make such journeys when he worked locally for a sailboat bui...
