I currently run a heavy steel flywheel but there is no reason you couldn't run aluminum @lenmann I prefer the spline drive. First because it's what I have and have used on lots of boats. Second because once the set-up is done the trans r&r is much easier. If you run the hughs style you need to...

The drive plate bolts to the flywheel using the holes that the pressure plate would normally use to bolt up. Check your clearance when mating the transmission to the motor when using a motor plate. You need a little play for crank thrust but you will likely need to build a spacer to go over the...

If you're thinking you should add a row of bolts, then you should probably add a row. That plate bends (flexes) it is't a hinge and your bolt holes are pretty far forward to keep the rear edge of the plate from pulling away from the bottom. The holes you have for the rudder stuffing box will not...

I can't give you a number as it would differ depending upon the angle of V in the bottom of the boat. Think about it like this, If the boat had a flat bottom the plates would simply move straight up and down and not hit each other. As the degree of the bottom moves into a "V" the plates will...

Remember to trim a little pie shape on the inside edges. If you don't it will bind when you try make the plates go up. The picture is WAY bigger than it needs to be just trying to give you an idea. Nice work on the old manual mill. The transom blocks look great!

Looking good

Make them out of Stainless. You will thank yourself for a little more work on the front end and much, much less work in maintenance, care and replacement. The stainless plates will look good forever. The aluminum plates will suffer from fading and electrolysis. I've seen your work and you won't...

I would suggest filling the gap with 1/16" stainless in the recessed area to keep the plates true to the running surface. Hope that makes sense.

In my opinion the single cable steering is the factor contributing to the pull. Prop torque is a big issue and pulling all the slop out of that cable then unloading that slop when you let off the throttle. The prop looks pretty big for an 850HP 21' boat that you want to go fast with. I bet it...

Sold! Nice meeting you today Tom

I'll be available this weekend. I'll PM you the address and we can set a time. Thanks

All is well. The 21 will get a new prop shaft seal and be back in the water soon

Looks good.

I have a Graco Magnum X5 Airless paint sprayer that I used a couple times during my house remodel and now it's just taking up space in the garage. I bought an extension for the gun and the hose is 25' $200 Contact Mike (310)three four four-2115 text is fine or you can message me through the...

Selling the roof rack from the off-road car. It's made from 1" round tubing, measures 51" long and 42" wide, mounting points are 47 1/2" front to back and 38 1/4" side to side. Has a 40" LED light bar on the front. I changed a bunch of stuff and will need to make a new rack to accommodate my...

I believe you can build the PG with the same ratios that would be 2nd and 3rd in the TH400. Does it matter? Guess it depends on driver (and budget) preference. I have a TH400 and it still has 1st gear. As stated earlier it is nice to have 1st gear in 5mph zones and around docks. There is no way...

As always you are doing fantastic work! You're using balsa so you'll be covering the inner surface, but we always made the relief cuts on the top of the plywood. The cuts would then be filled with Cab-o-sil and a layer of mat and cloth for strength. Another trick was to cut the center piece as...

@69hondo Are you replacing the floor? If so you might consider using a material such as HDPE plastic sheet instead of plywood. Not exactly sure how your particular wet bay is constructed so it's jut an idea.
