Finger I didnt see no finger! Do you have a speedo by looking at the wake your probably pushing 30mph sounds nice and healthy.

My finger was in the way on second video.

I checked your original thread did you have to do anything but mount it and dial it in, good job by the way!

Don't know how much of the story you got, but after I lapped the flywheel, and drive-shaft tapers, the flywheel stopped slipping and I was able to get a nice purr out of it. It still needs a little tweaking, but It idles well and runs great.


From December to now it went from this

lol yeah it is. That stuff will migrate to the boat a little at a time. I'm working on the bimini now. Not buying anything new I don't have to. That would seem sacryligious at this point. I got several cans of spray white plasti-cote and have sprayed the old canvas bimini till its white rubberized again. I ran across a few small holes and got inventive. I sprayed a somewhat generous coat down then beded some fiberglass cloth into it, then sprayed over it. It worked better than I had expected. Took scotch brite pads to the poles and cleaned them up.
