Good day all, just picked up this boat over the last few weeks and spending some time cleaning her up and servicing her.....
454 Mag in good shape, just installing a set of EMI Thunder exhausts and searching for a Procharger.....
The last owner either knew nothing about boats, lost interest and let her slide or was just plain lazy....
I have been out a few times, I like the handling and ride and with a little more power, some fine tuning and checking out some different props (currently has a 22p Bravo 1 four blade) she will be a nice ride......
Couple of things: Does anybody know the length of the "shift" cable that is used for the mechanical trim tab indicator unit? One is seized so I will probably just replace both but can not find any numbers on the cable and do not want to take them out before I get new ones because I will use the old ones to pull the new ones through, if you know what I mean....
second thing, I have the flip down, self retracting swim-grid ladder and there was once a grab handle just aft of the engine hatch, I need a new one, problem is that the holes are 10" center to center and most handles I have found are 12".....I did find one but it was over $50 and with shippin, taxes, duty etc a little pricey in my mind...
Thanks for any assistance and I look forward to chatting....Jeremy
