Re: Maintaining Bolt Torque
I don't know if it has been mentioned or not but could you use a guided counter boring bit to reduce the angle. It looks like you would have to remove the clip. just an idea.

Thanks Gary S and Old Yeller. Gary got about two or three years left to retire but getting close. The boat should be broke-in by then.

Here are a couple of short clips of the Maiden Voyage. This thing sits high in the water and is on plane with two people as fast as you give it gas.

Re: lycoming 200 wide deck

Re: ECOTEC 2.0 LTG SWAP

Re: ECOTEC 2.0 LTG SWAP
Looks awesome Eddie !!!!!!!
We have used hydro-turf and had good luck with it, easy to work with. We haven't used sea deck so I can't really help you there.
