Anyone know if the gill's or any other aftrermarket stuff will clear 33inch centers ?????

What's the standard spread for the Bravo's????

convincor 05-04-2003 05:44 PM

There's are pair of Gil's listed under parts for sale with silent choise. $1500 for the pair. You'd probably be able to sell the riser's

33" spread
 
Being that you have trs, and depending how long thwe risers are you should have a fair amount of rubber exhaust hose from riser to the tip. Not that its very flexible but it should spread 1.5 inches. Even if i had to cut and weld the end of the tip on a small angle to make sure that no water leaks, it's cheaper than getting a custom set of exhaust made up for now, i just keep thinking do it cheap and decent to get you going then decide what you really want as your having a couple of drinks on the water this summer.
I paid bigmoney for a set of ' rebuilt motors' and they're now in getting done properly after just 40hrs. It doesn't sound like the seller knew too much about yours to begin with, could have just been a Varsol overhaul. :(
If you're going to do any salt water running i was told to stay away from the cheaper lightnings (1600 $) the inner tube is stainless while the outer is steel. In order to get both stainless you have to pay ---$2100/pr

What i'm worried about , is the center two manifolds touching each other..... anyone know if these after market manifolds will clear each other with 33'' centers????

delsol 05-05-2003 06:41 AM

are you talking 33" centers between one motors tips ? That's not what matters , it's the center to center between motors--- what's that???

XCAV8 05-05-2003 06:47 AM

the measurement from center to center of the engines in the boat
is only 33" , from what i understand most twins are 35 - 36"
centers

delsol 05-05-2003 06:49 AM

I stand corrected -- just went out and measured, 28" per motor is somewhat standard, and with 36" center of motor to center of motor i have 6" between the Imco's. Hope that helps. Dave

Mine are at 33" centers and I have gils, there is 1/4' between the manifolds. They are not fun to get on and off but it can be done. I now just pull the motor, manifolds and all.
