Nope I'm running the stock log manifolds and my altenator is on the orginal bracket, probably just like your was when it was stock.

I wish you were local, I'd give you a hand fabricating a bracket. But 3 hours is a little to far. Best of luck.

Great thread cash. Great photos. looks like it's been (mostly) fun.
I need to do the same with my jetboat one of these years.
Keep up the good work and the thread.

So you did not have power steering?

Also, where does the water from the stern drive enter the engine?

Thank you for posting pictures!

Well, I give up. I cannot ****ing find heater hose with 1.25" ID anywhere. I've tried every Napa, every Autozone, every OReillys, Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, and industrial hose place, and not ONE ****ing place has god damn radiator hose on a spool. **** this, the project is going in storage until next year.

Have you tried online? Maybe McMaster Carr? They have everything, not sure if I ever saw hose on thier site but worth a try, West Marine might be able to order something like that too.
