Extreme makeover 72 seafari 25 aloha edition

[Xcomunic8d]

So I’ve been racking my brain on how to see data in real time like a Holley term. X gives you.

There’s a Bluetooth obd2 port scanner and an app called torque. If you use an android device you can see this in real time. A lot of car guys use this. I’m going to get one of these so i can trouble shoot some gauges and find out hp rating.

In meanwhile,

I’ve figured out where and how I’m going to mount the B3.

I’m going to move the AV plate 2” above the keel. That means. My transom is 16 degrees. Check yours but that’s mine. The x dimension is 13 9/16” with a framing square OR 14 5/16” up from keel with a tape measure. They land in nearly the same place.

Then I’m adding 2” to that. Now full disclosure. Merc says only move it 1”. BUT it’s a whole lot cheaper and less work to buy a spacer to drop the leg down than to move that transom assy up. I also gain 2” of working room which is nice.

You’ll see 2 black dots in the pic. And my finger is pointing at 2.5” on both I believe but 2” seems to be the braintrusts suggestion. I will bow to the superior knowledge and experience.







Ps my buddies around here are dying for me to get this done.

I need to get b3 rebuild kits. I need upper and lower gears. It was a 2:1 and I anticipate keeping that but suggestions are welcome.
