    High Altitude prop question.

    Altitudes For small changes in altitude, carburetors will compensate without any modifications. For larger altitude changes, carburetor jetting adjustments may be needed. A rough estimate is one to two jet size reduction for every 1,000-foot elevation increase.

    High Altitude prop question.

    Remember it's about the air. With less available o2 per volume of air because it's less compact your air/fuel ratio will be off.the only way to truly correct this is to adjust fueling.

    Putting things back on the boat

    I will say this... if I need to glue something permanent, anything not just boat related that's my goto. Just bought replacement stones for my engine hone and 2 came off almost right away..... 5200 to save the day! The only way to clean off cured 5200 is with a grinder Fwiw

    Separate intermediate housing?

    Cable drum? If I remember right you rotate the drum until you can see the screw that locks the drum to the gear shaft. It's under the cables on the drum. Then you can pull the shaft. Then remove the bolts that hold the bracket and it should come off.

    '85 Sierra 16.5' Fiberglass - Floor / Transom / New Layout

    I also used fiber disks with a backing plate. I have taken a few hits with an angle grinder and I don't think I would ever use a carbide saw blade. I am pretty ballsy but those things will cut off body parts before you can blink

    '85 Sierra 16.5' Fiberglass - Floor / Transom / New Layout

    I did a "pre sand" with 80 grit to remove surface junk. Wash with acetone to remove contaminates so you don't grind them in deeper. Then get to the "pink" with a coarse grit. Wash with acetone again. I did a final touch with 16 grit but that's a bit overkill. When you start to lay glass with...

    How to video cavitation plate on the water

    I did some testing with a gopro on high speed so I could slow it down and see the prop. Worked well. Put a safety tether on it. If I had not done that to mine I would have lost it. I wrapped it in a stainless steel .040 safety wire harness I made. I didn't want to trust the gopro lanyard.
