" I have just aquired a 25.4 C
" I have just aquired a 25.4 CC catalinaboat was submerged and pumped out a few years ago, hull is in good shape, but engine and trans are not.
Engine needs to be replaced, tranny may be good, but I dont know what to look for at this point.
I was thinking of getting a motor from a running vehicle(car or truck) at the junk yard, but dont know if this is really feasable.
I have seen some disscussion on different rotation types of motors and such and dont know what I have.
The name plate information on the Engine and transmission are as follows
ENGINE:
Marine Power Corp
Model 350K
Engine # 183014
Firing Order 12756348
( Valve covers and intake manifold are missing, I can see the GM mark stamped on block)
TRANNY:
Paragon Gears
(numers here are sketchy, plate is very corroded)
P21P 6D 7760 Z7717P
Anyone have any ideas what I have here?
Can I use a car or truck motor?, Do I have a strange rotation motor, or normal rotation?
Are the trannys pretty durable, or if its been flooded with the tranny exposed to elements, am I in a bad way?
Thanks in advance
