Regarding bravo1x drive, I would encourage you to explore using a bravo3x drive. I repowered two boats within 5 years, the first bravo1x. Works great, it is bullet proof. I didn't use the bravo 3x...

No bad affect on the gelcoat. I sprayed on, let it work until it looked like the bottompaint was soft (a few minutes), then used a paint scraper to scrape off the paint. Most areas took two or...

Re: Inboard Diesel Jackshafted Vs. Twins on a Seamark

bushwacker: I am not sure about the heat exchanger, I will check and post. I am almost sure it is not aluminum/brass. I think it may be monel.

Re: Show me your inboard

Sounds good. Back in the old days when it was 100% female (60's and early 70's), I loved it too. Would enjoy talking sc. Have had one since 1965. Best hull we have ever owned.
