    I/O (Sterndrive) Conversion to Outboards

    Ted, how many cases of beer will fit in the bilge where the two 6.2's used to sit? Did you figure in the weight of "provisionings" in your calculation?

    Hey Ted, Mercury is showing the new 808 hp outboard at Miami. you could get by with one motor.

    Wiring a 3 wire trim/tilt pump to throttle handle switch

    The relays are used because of the inrush current of the motor which will take out the switch

    Triton 175 rear deck removal

    if the screw is 18-8 (most likely), they are mildly magnetic. you can use a cheap $2 stud finder (the cheesy ones with the swinging magnet)

    2000’s Bayliner 175 I/O

    replace all the plastic thru-hulls if you get it, they will fail soon.

    Boat value

    two things get repeated often on this site: if you want to make a small fortune restoring boats, start with a large one... restore the boat for you, not for resale...

    1960s McCulloch 7.5 hp w/ electric start above fltwheel with Serial 80355-1412

    I doubt any parts list would have the brushes. you will most likely need to visit your local starter and alternator repair shop.

    Wiring a 3 wire trim/tilt pump to throttle handle switch

    the switch in the handle is operating the contactors which operate the motor. no way to run motor wiring thru a switch small enough to make it fit into the binnacle handle a 20-30 amp switch is going to be fairly hefty I would use a pair of $2 VF4 relays

    New Stuff on Vehicles likes/dislikes

    my issue isnt having to replace the idler, its having it go bad with only 24000 miles (under 39,000 kilometers). so if that bit of plastic bit held on to a cheesy spring is failing, what other plastic bits will soon be failing? the dang oil pan is plastic.
