Well heck. I was on the left coast Monday thinking I was in NP and Razor country and needed a boat ride. You Cali Skater Bros have fun while here in the mid South our Skaters are tucked away for hibernation and we are deicing our 2500Hds to go to work,

Dewald Props
6 Attachment(s)
Anyone looking for some great acceleration and running stock water pick ups these props will work really well.
Send me a message if interested |
good looking props, I wish they were 32's or even 31's
|
They actually run more like a set of 32's I have a set of 32's also but in 15 1/4" diameter. They are very sluggish on my boat.
|
I've got 34 pitch three blades now so it's just hard to think about dropping that much pitch, granted I don't think the ones on the boat are the perfect fit but still. I'd also need to find a 3'rd of whatever I go with. Having trips I wonder if I'd have the power to spin the 32's?

If you ever go to 5 blades and you are happy with the RPM of what you have figure on 1" of pitch drop per additional blade to stay at the same RPM. The 28's really like the 4 blade's. |
Trailer's on it's back ... begging for paint. ;-)

NP, thanks for installing the new filters in our boat the other day. I saw this trailer and it is stout!! NP has mad skills.

Who do you guys recommend to rebuild a set of 300X motors or is it straight forward enough to handle myself? I'm very capable in the shop but since I haven't done THESE motors didn't know if there were tricks to the trade that I'd miss or if "X" is able to massage them a little and keep reliability, I have three that I'd like to rebuild before summer.
I don't mind shipping them off but I'd rather do it as long as it's not a monumental job or there are a lot of tricks you need to know. I'd rather do it so I control the schedule and the parts that go in them but I also know it's hard to beat a man at his trade. If I do it myself where do you get all the parts necessary, I'm sure someone online offers them cheaper than the full retail that all the shops around here want to charge. I assume I'd be replacing pistons, rings, bearings, and gaskets but should rods be done as well or anything else I'm forgetting? Anyone got a ballpark on what I should be looking at total cost per motor, parts and labor and how much of that's labor? Several of the reed cages have corners that are burnt (started impacting idle) so will be replacing those as well. Is it best to go back factory or does someone make a better part that doesn't have the rubber gasket that's so easy to damage? TIA |
MLB75,
I have rebuilt a set in the past and did all the work but the long block. I had a friend that is at TNT do that for me. We replaced everything but the rods. We did not have any damage on the cylinder walls so they just gave them a quick hone. I have heard good things about Fullers in the NE. They have worked on a bunch of them. Not sure how many factory Mercury parts are available anymore. If you use the factory read cages they are very expensive. We also changed one crankshaft too. I would recommend sending out all the injectors, rebuild and service fuel pumps, replace oil bleed lines, also check bleed valves, reeds, thermostats. You should also make sure they use new head bolts for proper torque. Mercury calls for new ones. Same with rod bolts. May also want to replace needle bearings. How many hours on the motors? Regarding tweaks IMO I would leave them stock. Especially if you have the higher compression heads. Maybe a little clean up on the porting and balance the motor but that is it. If you want to see I had build thread on here from my old boat with a bunch of pics. |

What do Porshe's, Lamborghini's and Skater trailers have in common?
https://www.screamandfly.com/attachm...9&d=1518743785 red disc calipers ;-) |
NP, trailer is looking good!! Finally ran our tank yesterday for first time since you installed our filters and it ran great, thanks again. It was also the first time we ran it since Dale raised the motors 1/2" but didn't have the opportunity to let it rip, hot wife drove from Benicia to Oakland Estuary in dead flat water but she wasn't comfortable driving above 80ish. I drove back, after picking up some friends, but the water didn't cooperate plus we had a full boat. The water pressure at 85-90mph is now at 15-19psi. Absolutely LOVE our boat.

Hey Steve, the trailer looks great! :ernaehrung004: The rear view would sure look a lot better with a set of Dewalds on the lowers though. ;)

New T-shirts
I have some shirts being printed, thought the outboard section might be the right place. ;-)

anyone know what a new 28 with 400s is worth ?
|
If you are talking a new build I would say close to 300k with electronics, paint and a trailer. |
Believe it or not, you can get a new 28 just like that newest white/blue one with the 400Rs for right around $250k, on a trailer.

Sportmaster Gear Case Oil Capacity
OK, I serviced by 3.0L sportmasters today, and as always I have gotten 16oz. out and in the lefty and 38oz. in the right. I drained for 24 hours before filling and measured what came out and what went in. I am guessing that the two bearing adapters, thrust bearings and races take up the extra space in the lefty.?? My lefty oil is always much dirtier than my right. Thoughts??
