need damaged ssm#6 low case
 

Looking for a damage ssm#6 lower I slung a blade and cut cavitation plate off. Need a drive I can cut the plate off of and have Wilson weld on.

could probably do as well cutting cav plate of most any drive and fitting the piece in.

Vern @ west coast drives has one. 310-995-1670

Thanks I'll call him Monday

Amazing how much damage a blade causes when to let's go. I saw the pictures of you drive that blade completely tore the cavitation plate in two.

Blade flew about 200 feet in the air and the plate went skipping across the water and shuck the boat like it was coming apart

Gary, did John send you that pic that I send him? That is one of the most incredible things I have seen.

My source has been revealed. Lucky that blade did not catch the other prop and drive on the way out. I wonder if the prop shaft is bent or any other damage to the internals. I would have all of the specs checked before that drive goes back together.

With a statement like that, let's see the carnage! Pics?

+1 lets see these pics :)

It really is surprising it didn't hit the other prop considering that the tips of the props are less than 3/4" away from each other. We are going to give both of them a thorough once over.
Eddie

Sure they didn't hit something? It might an illusion, but it looks like a chunk missing from the other skeg...... That is some pretty good carnage tho!!

That one was there already I believe.

Herrings? I couldn't quite make it out on the prop.

yep

We pitched a blade off of a 388. It didn't do quite the damage yours did, but it did strike the bottom of the cavitation plate and bend the prop shaft quite a bit.

Hold on, let me get my touch up brush back out.. :eek:

You don't need it for the prop, but you will need it for where the drunk idiot with a pontoon boat ran into the side.

Did you do this at Ticfaw running out of the canal? If so I was next to you in the eliminator. My ol lady said she saw everything fly through the air.

Yep just pass the railroad bridge

You have some real deal motors in that thing. When you hit the throttles it sounded like the world was coming to an end. I thought you blew a drive up......sucks you broke.

That's the magic of Eddie Young.

Ouch !!! Now somebody toss up a pic of what he did to the drunken pontooner.. :angry-smiley-055: :angry-smiley-044:

I'll give you a yell on my way home

Get a set of Merc. props rated for your HP, and you will likely have less problems. Been there, but luckily it was caught as a crack before it became a flying blade!!

Threw Full beer can hit him in back of the head while he tried to run coast guard took him in for dwi.

Sounds like you had a hell of a weekend!

I heard about that and couldn't help but laugh at that part of the story !! Hopefully it didn't hurt it to bad (the boat)

Just a few scratches the most of it buffed out

that is the greatest quote ever!

Any video of these world ender engines running?

Here a video of the very first time I fired up of the engines.

Here is a video from a few years ago at LOTO. I've since changed a few things on the engines.

Eddie

Glad to hear that. :cool:

Gotta say, I will rest better knowing that it's not a 6 foot gash down the side and that it will hold out till the end of season.. haha !!

Now I'm stuck with that in my head all day.... "you silly bastaads"

Ok, That's just plain hilarious! If you don't laugh at that video, call 911, cause you're dead!

It was like 2 am and I was just delirious by that time. I had been going and going and was on fumes. I was so close to hearing them run in the boat. They had already been dynoed, but I wanted to have them running in the boat. I thought I would have a little fun and that seemed like a good idea at the time.Lol
