UPGRADING MY GL1200 IGNITION SYSTEM

Ya, I have another boat 1985 Granda 19' with a V-6 buick and an OMC out drive. I can do anything to that boat, I've had it since it was band new (I live on the 4th largest man made lake in the world, Lake Eufaula) This outboard stuff is a whole new cat to me. Those bolts caught me way off guard, I'm used to working with rusted junk. I swear I didn't have 5lbs of pressure on them when they would snap. I have never had bolts so bonded into a piece of metal, I used every trick I knew of to get them out but they just wouldn't budge. 13 of them just turned right out, no problem but those others!!!!!! I agree on the prop thing, the first thing I bought for my Granda was a ss prop, I've only had to have it rebuilt once in all these years and that boat has been run hard since I was an avid water skier. Now I just like putting around pulling up to the beaches and socializing. I have an 1972 Mercury 80hp that I have to find a new lower unit for and I'm still working on the hull putting in a new transome. I've thought about the prop being wrong but the rpm's work out right on the top end but it still may be wrong. I've checked the cavatation plate height re. to the boat also. I'm hoping that the high pressure bi-pass is the problem since it was kinda cruddy in there and the water jacket cover plate had so much scale in it that I could see the level might have been covering one of the three return holes.
Na, we wouldn't make good neighbors, your OL would hate me since I would always be in your garage or you would be in mine. Here's a couple of pics of the ole Aluma Craft My 86 SEi was a total that I bought for $400.00 took me almost a year to rebuild it, scrounging parts, buying what I could when I could and having to learn about a whole new motorcycle. I love it now though but it is still a work in progress.

If it's not broke, I can fix that! |
