this would be a good choice instead of antifouling paint,for below the waterline http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=2330&engine=msn&keyword=interlux_vc_performance_epoxy

Yes its the mercruiser GM 4.1. Thanks for the links smokeonthewater,that does seem to be the engine designation in the links you added but the profile of the pan i have does not match the pic in the o reilly link.

A friend of mine who is a commercial lobsterman told me that you can glass an oil pan. My inline 6 has a few prior repairs on it with jb weld and since i have the motor out i plan to address the issue. Oil pans are no longer available for the 165hp inline. I have seen some used ones for $150...

For the most part brackets are custom made to a hull,its not just the curve that is the issue,the deadrise of the bracket,height at which the motor will mount,amount of flotation built into the bracket are all going to be engineered specifically to the hull on which it is to be mounted. There is...

The transom curve is retained and you build the bracket to match the curve,or if you are having the bracket built for you the manufacturer will need a template. I am not sure what power you currently have but if an I/O be aware that the area around the drive is actually flat and made up from...

comes with everything including the kitchen sink,lol good deal for someone http://boston.craigslist.org/nos/boa/4506855744.html

Hi the best method is to put a layer of 3/4 oz chopped strand mat over the top,that way you won't see the weave

the " commanders mansion" just down the boardwalk from conch republic was pretty good,a little fancy/pricey. You could also send them over to the rooftop place,Eden ,lol

I considered this teqnique,but it seems the underside of the remaining perimeter is very uneven. How did you seal your tabs,did you just soak them in resin and then screw them from the top with thickened resin? thanks

Although the birch has very few voids I have read it does not take resin well,the resin does not soak into the wood and create a good bond. I have not tested this myself though.

You can also add 3/4 ply to the underside of the deck in any area you will be putting a seat,console etc,anywhere you need to screw into.

You want the thin resin for layup,you could use the thick for making thickened resin for filler but I would just and more cabosil to the thinner resin rather than ordering 2 different resins,yes you can fill those voids in the deck edge with the peanut butter,for larger holes think about adding...

Your going to need a lot of resin,i used 3 gallons for the transom,1708 sucks up a lot of resin. You can keep the amount of resin down by building with the "wet on wet" method which makes for a stronger bond and uses less resin. I would guess 3 gallons would be about right for the stringers,make...

CSM stands for "chopped strand mat" As far as one layer,1708 is actually 2 layers it is one layer of 45 degree woven fabric with a layer of CSM stiched to the back of it. Providing you don't use polyester resin 1708 is extremely strong and waterproof. The deck will be screwed to the stringers...

Hey sorry i misinterpreted what you where saying with the deck,you will be fine using the perimiter to attatch,i am doing the same. I have saddle tanks so am raising the tanks 3/4 inch to allow for the overlap. I am only using one layer of 1708 on the stringers,50 inch will do both my...

I used 3/4 exterior grade fir doubled up,marine ply is better but cost is way higher,IMO properly sealed fir will last nearly as long. I am not sure what the original stringer material is on your year,mine was spruce but it is a 1973,others may chime in here

I would remove all the foam,it may seem dry but will likely be wet at the bottom against the hull. Looking at you pic i would cut the deck back a little further at the rear to eliminate more of the wet wood that is still around the edges,then fill and seal edges with thickened epoxy or...

Are the wires completely open circuit? Spark plug wires could be up to 1200 ohms per foot . It would be unusual if they are all open circuit.

when you puut the drive back on did you have the drive in forward gear and the shift lever pushed fully forward? That's presuming you removed the drive from the bell housing
