I honestly don't know if there is a bushing in the shaft tube, If anybody knows chime in. It appears to free-float between the coupler and the...
The measurement was back at the seal, the coupler doesn't have any movement. I have a video but I don't think I'm able to post it. Didn't hit...
I appreciate the replies... since the boat is in the water I'm not going to be pulling the shaft any time soon. Going to see what can be...
It was a rough measurement we made with a fixed micrometer while rotating the shaft. She's been in the water a couple months. Anybody have...
While in the shipyard we noticed the shafts were both center punched in the prop end, 5 punches like you would see on a set of dice. I don't know...
So my port shaft has some wobble to it. It isn't massive like a bend, but you can see it when it's rotating and there is some vibration at speed....
If it's a plastic tank like mine hold a flashlight to the top and view through the side- will tell you how full it is. My 46 has I think a 30-gal...
Congratulations and welcome. Nice looking boat!
Thanks, the polished aluminum valve wheels were an eBay score at $30 apiece. No buoys yet in great South Bay , but we did our civic duty and...
So I promised more pictures when I finished the project. She's back in the water ran great from Lindenhurst to Freeport. Huge thanks again to...
My Diesel guy did a check of the shafts there is some run-out on the port but they are straight. Going to see how it is in the water. Will...
Got my original 3-blades tuned up by Johnson Machine in Freeport to 26x26 the original specs for the boat. Huge thanks to Rich M who gave me his...
Hose. Been there done it
**** I gotta get those. Thanks. Now I have to spend more money :)
I'll put up some more pictures once I finish the install
I was going to start a thread about this but you guys beat me to it. I noticed this problem early on. Having worked in the maritime industry my...
From what I've read those 92's are rated for 2300. They spun right up to 2350 where I backed off because my Detroit guy was along for the ride...
All good advice. Bottom will be clean and repainted. There's no tower or dinghy. If 26x26 is what she probably came with then whatever I get...
1100 HP should be able to get me 24-25 knots without a struggle. We shall see
Going to try the Starbright stuff that Outpost suggested. If I can get my teak to look like his I'll be very happy
