Thanks everyone...the Crane lifters arrived today, were installed and solved the problem. DanB wins the prize...! Thanks again! Testing propellers tomorrow! Tryin to spin a 28 or 30 Bravo...

Hey Sean,

Let me know how the boat runs with the new motors. I'm curious to see how much speed you get out of these puppies! What kind of power are you getting from them?

Mongo

That's good news Sean! I hope the testing goes well! I could be wrong, but I think a 26 B1 at about 5400 rpms:D

I'll say 24P Bravo1.:D

Sean, I have been following this post and I`m glad the problem is fixed. There is a TON of knowledge here and I seem to learn something new every day.

Good luck and happy boating, Kurt.

No problemo Sean
Glad I could be of help....good luck with your props
Dan

UPDATE
 

I should have posted earlier, but I thought I'd let you guys know that we got the lifeters in and ran the boat for about 10 min on th hose and 20min in that bay. Varying RPMs from idle up to about 4800 with a pair of 26 Bravos...I could swear I should be getting mor r's out fo those props, but that's another story.

The real story is the lifters and my MSD ignition!:mad: :mad:

One of the brand new Crane 99377 lifters collapsed after 30 minutes of running(Ithought a bearing let go again)...man this is pissing me off. So, I call Summit, who tell me to call Crane, who send me a pair 2nd day air. The mechaic is putting them in now...so we'll see.

My brand new MSD 6AL came back from Autotronics and still does not work...I called them and now I have to send that back too...

This stuff is really beginning to piss me off...

Hang in there Sean. You'll get it together. We will be heading out east tomarrow till Labor Day:D Hope to see you at Claudios.

Ken, I'll be there!

BTW, my mechanic doesn't want to re-use the other lifters...says we should replace the entire set, but guess what...world wide backorder! :mad: :mad: :mad:

I'm starting to wonder who I've pissed off...

:D
