MJ, sorry to hear your wife is back in the hospital. I will pray for her recovery.

My Dad had his second bypass surgery a number of years ago, and afterward they had a similar problem with his heart rate. The ended up installing a pacemaker for him. It worked out well.

Oh yeah, MJ...my old '86 still has the SS prop on it...was painted black when I 1st got it till I took the paint off...could probably be had for a song...you gonna need one?...this one had my tach right and boat to 39.9 mph...never could get that GPS to say 40

The motor I am getting has a SS prop on it, 14 1/2 X 17 I think?

And comes with all controls and cables !
and get this he has a bracket on his boat so they cables are pleanty long!

But I will need to get a tac, as he has never had one. I am going to see if I can sell the Yamaha tac on ebay then buy one for the rude.

Thanks

sry to hear bout ur wife. best wishes.

you might wanna think about getting a roll of hose and just replacing all the fuel lines. it could be a small pin hole or crack that seals itself hwen the motor gets warm. cheap project that prob aint a bad idea on a motor that old anyway.

Thanks!!

As for the lines and stuff this is on his boat right now!!

My boat has all new lines and everything already!!

Maybe it will be better on mine I have no idea??

Well I have made plans to remove his motor on Saturday, He is bring it to my house and we are going to park both boats side by side and remove and install all in one shot!!

Will take another day to install all controls and stuff! I should be able to get in the water tuesday!!

Whatelse I have not old you guys is that I have removed the Bow rail and repaired all the holes! Also fixed holes from a old attna mount.

Also one of the last trips I hit a rock the size of my truck! Riped a 1" X 10" of gelcoat right off the bow, and then when the boat went side ways it riped about 1" X 8" of gelcoat off!! >:(

But that has all been fixed and looks great now!! Got my son to give her a brand new coat of bottom paint!

She may ot run, but she sure does look pretty!!

Sorry to hear of your wife, hope all turns out well.
It is amazimg what doctors can do these days,
my dad had bypass surgery about five years ago,
he is now 75 and goes dancing every night.
Doctor says he is in better shape than ever.

You mentioned you removed the bow rail,
will you be replacing?
If not, I did get some harware from RacerX,
he may have two more, I am waiting on an answer,
But I need six total.

If you have any of these in the picture, I will buy them from you?

macojoe · #36 10-12-2006, 05:12 PM

parishht, thanks!!

as for the rail pieces, My rail was made coustom to replace the old alumin one. For the last owner.

It has welded feet right to the stands, so I have one of what you ask.

But, I do have in my surplus 4 feet!! 2 are low angle for the ends of the rail and two are angled for the stands of the rail.

They for 1" pipe and they are perfect except they are missing the allen set screws that hold the pipe in.

I am sure you can get them at a marine stor or hardware store, I know my hardware had them, but not stainless.

Let me know if they any use to you!!

parishht · #37 10-12-2006, 06:18 PM
