Anyone's FYI,.....I have a pair of USED Stellings extension boxes for sale....with IMCO's HEAVY DUTY inner tramsom plates if anyone here is interested. Buy the extesion boxes for $2500 each and I will include the IMCO Heavy Duty inner transom plates with the deal.
WOW Cord, nice to see on here again. How have you been??? |
I wouldn't bother to try and modify the stock inner plate. There is just no the plate can be modified with out butchering it. I ended up using the Stellings inner plate, but I wasn't able to clamp it as tight as I needed to keep the box from slipping. Maybe the IMCO plate will allow you to really crank on the bolts.
Things have been better. Sold the house last summer but got beat out (repeatedly) on it's replacement. Faced with a housing gap we were forced to accept an offer and we moved back in with my mother-inlaw. We finally bought a house and were moving forward with it's closing when I got laid off. The market is so crappy that I'll be off for at least 6 months. You know that you've hit bottom when living with your mother-inlaw isn't so bad. |
Sorry to hear that Cord. Hopefully things turn around for you soon.
As far as the box slipping, if I remember right, you made all 3 holes on your box into one elongated slot. That may have had something to do with it. I have the Merc inner transom plates on mine. http://www.stellingsmarineproducts.com/home/ |

You use your inner transom plate. But, if you run your box all the way up for a high X you need to cut the cross section out of your transom plate.

You can also buy the shaft from Everett Performance which allows you to run a straight shaft and keep your yoke.
Anything else that should be replaced on the box with it being used before the install? |

I believe they started with a slot, but went to drilled holes later on... I think.... |

I recall IMCO telling me that you want to come up one inch for every four inches of set back.

The question that Everett and Stellings wasnt sure of was:
If you go to the IMCO or Everett straight shaft, what hole should the Stellings box be in? The middle hole or all the way down (top hole)??? |
