Re: omc-boats-digest V1 #157

I am working feverishly to complete my engine restoration and hope to be in
the water by Friday,. I began this project last fall. I pulled the engine
and stern drive and restored the bilge compartment and repainted motor and
intermediate housing. I redid the motor mounts (repaint and new stainless
hardware) it looks great but will it run? - we'll see! Will repaint the
stern drive this winter. I do not have an answer to your question about the
props - I bought a second prop on ebay last year - I think it is stainless
but haven't used it yet, it's a spare. Great web page BTW. Tom Klauber
