    Why an outboard?

    boat pics Hey Reel I think you've seen these before but you can check page 4 in the V20 gallery, right in the middle. Rick's '89 V20. My screen name changed to rb437 (my login) with the new site, but it's still me. The closed cooling system came from the factory. Raw water from the outdrive...

    Why an outboard?

    In the trailer position the outdrive is high enough to be even with the keel so I think sand bars would not be a problem. But even the trailer position is not high enough to get the outdrive out of the water. So if your boat stays in the water I would choose an outboard. My boat is an I/O...

    I hate when this happens

    Good news Found a guy nearby with an Alpha 1 out drive that was attached to a 470 motor. The oil in it looks clean, the gear ratio is correct and he will sell me for $200.00. I'll pick it up this weekend. I guess I won't know for sure if there's a problem until I hook it up, but $200.00...

    I hate when this happens

    free outdrive with wrong ratio I have a friend that has a Alpha outdrive that he'll give me. The gear ratio is different, 1.50 vs 1.84. Anyone have any ideas how this would work out? Could I switch to a higher pitch prop to make up for the lower gear ratio?

    I hate when this happens

    I didn't drain it so I don't know the condition of what may be left. Obviously the lack of oil is the root of the problem. I didn't see any signs of water or any leaks when I changed the oil back in May.

    I hate when this happens

    I was out about 2 weeks ago and all of the sudden the boat would not move. Finally got time today to find out why. Here's what I found, stripped pinion gears in the out drive. :cry: Any suggestions on best way to fix would be appreciated.

    Sliding hatch modification

    Removal was easy. I removed the 4 screws that hold down the teak trim along either side of the sliding hatch and then the hatch comes right off. The felt I used had adhesive on the back. I cut it to size, peeled of the backing, and stuck it to the under side of the hatch. Bought the felt at...

    Sliding hatch modification

    When sliding the hatch, the forward edge would scrape on the deck and make a noise very similar to fingernails on a blackboard. Today I removed the hatch and added some pieces of felt to the bottom. Now its smooth and quiet! I also took some measurements and other pictures if anyone needs the...

    V20 in Maryland

    I e-mailed the seller and asked if the boat runs and where in Annapolis it's located. Here's the answer I got "It its in Martinsburg WV, yes it will run" I'm thinking it "will" run is not the same as it "does" run. What do you want for $750
