My 3200 SCR Restoration

I'm not talking about the mounts bolted to the block. Those mounts each sit on the adjustable pedestals. Those pedestals are what I didn't want to mess with and screw up alignment

Yesterday one of my tachs started acting up. Rpm indicated would be anywhere from 50 to 300 greater than what the engine was actually doing. And the difference was inconsistent. I could verify what...

My 3200 SCR Restoration

So anyone intimately familiar with a later Bravo transom plate? I have the pitot tube assembly that comes with the tube attached to the fitting that threads into the transom. And then there's a fancy...

Here's a new one-
The reservoir for one of my drives kept going down the first month or so. It would drop anywhere from 1/8" to 3/8" a week. It's slowed down lately, but still drops slightly.
So I...

She floats!
Tops out at about 37-38 mph and cruises nicely at 24-26. I think the 23 pitch props was right. But maybe they're off a little? One engine tops out at about 4500 and the other a little...
