    hwsii - TP prop discussion

    H - Your comments about TP prop on the other thread are interesting and I would like to continue the discussion, but I didn't want to completely hijack, so. You said you have tested them on 9 different occasions, but with eratic results. I have only personally dealt with 3, and all three were...

    We spent the weekend driving up to Pittsburgh to pickup a new family member. Molly is a four year old Westie - puppy mill rescue.

    3.7 Cobra????

    I think the best way to punish oneself would be to "marry" a Merc 3.7 to an OMC Cobra drive THEN try to convince everyone that this combination would have saved OMC.

    HP gear lube less than $10

    My wall mart doesn't even carry the HP gear lube, but those that do, sell it for $9.96/qt. I snagged a few bottles while I was in WV.

    1.6 ratio rockers in a SBC

    Somebody asked a question today and I couldn't give a definate answer, so I will turn to the guru's here. Is there any reason not to use 1.6 instead of the 1.5 ratio rocker arm on a marine 350 ('87-'95 vintage)? He is using the stock Merc cam(lobe lift is at or slightly below .300. I think)...

    Fiberglass Gas Tank in a '85 Chaparral

    Hey everybody, I posted this elsewhere, and it was suggested that I bring it over here to the I/O forum where all the smart guys hang out. I have found an '85 Caparral 235 XLC that I am interested in, but it has a HUGE question mark hanging over it. It has a fiberglass gas tank beneath the...

    Fiberglass Gas Tank in a '85 Chaparral

    I have found an '85 Caparral 235 XLC that I am interested in, but it has a HUGE question mark hanging over it. It has a fiberglass gas tank beneath the floor, so it is not an easy replacement. What I need to know before making an offer is whether or not this tank is going to be ethanol stable...

    QL Trim Tab System????

    I have an 18' BR with a 4.3 V6 and alpha drive. Needless to say the boat is a little stern heavy. I do not have room on the transom for traditional tabs with the actuators mounted above the tab, and as stated on another thread I will never use another hydrofoil. I found these "tabs" made by QL...

    B3 Prop Indexing???

    Just wondering why it is necessary to index (180 deg out of phase) the props on a Bravo3 and what it accomplishes. People say it get better performance, but as the blades line up front to rear several times during rotation I don't see how it would make a difference.

    Hard starting Weber 4bbl

    OK, here we go, I have a '96 4.3LX with a Weber 4bbl. The carb has just been pulled and and redone(It needed it very badly). Here is my problem, there are two idle mixture screws(left and right) the screw on the left has absolutely no effect unless it is completely removed, thus allowing...
