    So, following a wise man's advice, I decided to run my newly acquired '83 Chrysler 50hp (507H3D) to blow out the carbon and to do a shakedown.

    Ok, thanks to some helpful forum members I was able to correct my shift linkage and now want to move on to the next issue at hand. My 1983 Chrysler 50hp, model #507H3D, is an abolute bear to steer. PO installed new steering cables, but it didn't help. I've verified that it's not a cabling...

    Help with Chrysler 50 shift linkage

    Ok, hi first of all. Been more of a reader than a poster. So, I'm a Capricorn...oh, wait, probably wrong forum for that, huh? On a more pressing note, however, I recently picked up an older boat with a Chrysler 50hp on the back. Model # is, 507H3D, and from what I'm garnering via the...
