Do those hubs weld themselves in? With enough tension to hold a prop I bet they do.
Will those need to pressed out?
Searched power trim and they are UGLY for the price. Ugly and old.
They all ought to be labeled "For parts or rebuild."
I might be able to change holes with a different prop.
Otherwise position 2 will do. Our afternoon storms blow spontaneously and I didn't buy a bigger boat to get pounded.
My goal is prevent lugging around 3-4000 rpm when LOTS more boat is in the water than 3mph top end.
Yeah Pat I don't think the reverse lock would be able to grab the thrust bar if he did that.
As far as I know the Chrysler Props use a rubber hub pressed in to the prop and are not user serviceable.
That limits his choices severely then if he can't go to the interchangeable hub type props. I see the prop he has on it with a exhaust diffuser ring. Sure looks like a Johnson LU to me not a dorm fridge and I don't see that funky Chrysler exhaust cone. Looks like a 13 tooth spline V4 gear case and prop to me. No center cone Chrysler prop there.
No problem Pat.
EDIT
I won't own a Chrysler ANYTHING. This is a Johnson 135 V4 1973-1976 13 spline.
No problem!Sorry about that. I got mixed between your thread and the one of the 65 Chrysler Yours is definitely OMC, apologizes...
Maybe you can put some type of tube over the pin inside the bracket. Maybe a length of brass or even a galvanized piece of pipe that just fits over the bolt. That might get you in between holes? Just a crazy thought. Galvanized would work better, it wouldn't wear out as quickly.
