No.6 Spacers
 

Do they make a 1/4 or 1/2 inch spacer for a no.6 drive? Anyone know where to get a pair? I can only find 1" which is too big. Thank you

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

You might want to try bammarine.com . They are available in 1/2" increments from 1/2-3".

Sounds like your getting into the last part of getting your boat dialed in. See you at some poker run down the road. I just put shiftable crash boxes in FREEDOM US1 46 Skater. Now that your dealing with big power that might be the next thing on your shopping list. Have Fun!!

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

I know they make 1/2 inch spacers.I have to check but i think i can get them for you.

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

Lube job,
I have a pair of half inch spacers with a half hour trial time. I'll trade for your 1 inch spacers

[QUOTE=FREEDOM US1] I would like to know more about the shiftable crash boxes. We have Bams transmission that have been working great. We also have a pair of B&M 2 speeds we were thinging about using but decided not to. We have been dialing it in for the last month. The acceleration is incredable. We think the drives might be a tiny bit high. We are still getting a lot of slip. We hit the rev limiters really quick. When we start trimming iit out and getting into the 140's the boat tends to hook to the right and the steering gets a little loose. We think the spacers will help and we just traded out 17" props for 16.5" diameter.

Hi Walt, I will give you a call tomorrow. Thank you.

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

I ran a 40 Skater with the drives too high and it started to track at a certain speed.The spacers helped and picked up speed.

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

we are running the scs shiftable boxes on a big power 36 nortech (1400+hp)these thing are awsome they shift just like butter :D get it up on plane and just hammer it!!!! no slip and your not worried about the trannie giving out

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

Nice!

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

They shift just like a transmission, with the motor running??

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

Who sells them? What do they run $$ Approx?

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

That's what TNT is installing on my 46 Skater. I like to run hard and have smoked 6ea BAM 1450 dry sumps in the last 40 hours or so of running the boat. They usually smoke in 3 to 4s with drives below neutral running hard but safe,much slower than racing. Trannies are great but apparently there is a limit on what they can take.

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

Go by TNT Monday and tell Johnny, Mike or Gary that you would like to see FREEDOM US1 ( Jim Lees boat). Johnny is going to test the boat Monday and it will be on the road Tuesday. Let me know how it looks. If its OK with Johnny its OK with me if you go on the test run and see how they work. At that point you can ask him how much they cost and we'll both know. Hardware only costs around 20000.00

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

Are you turning in or out. Sounds like your turning out.

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

yes just like a drysump bam they take a little getting use to there is a slight delay after you move the handle but once you get it you will never go back... john pompi at marine performance did the nortech he's in port orange south of daytona the hardware was less than $20,000... there is only one safe way to go in a big hp cat and this is it good luck

Re: No.6 Spacers
 

I'm glad you like your set up. Trannies were my weak lenk, I look forward to running the boat with out smoking trannies. Your right, they are less than 20000.00 but thats the ball park once its all said and done.
