I think Mastercraft is using a twin plate setup on some of their boats this year specifically for surfing. Also, if you are using two electric actuators, you will probably want two separate switches....
My '88 has two blowers, one on the driver's side behind the motor and the other behind the back seat base between the fuel tank and the side of the boat on the observer's side of the boat. When I...
I think the main problem was that the manifolds had not been removed for at least 10 years. Can't say I blame the previous owners for not removing the manifolds for a long time; I wouldn't have tried...
Beautiful job on the boat. I looked at a lot of the work you were doing last year. Gave me some ideas for my ride. How about keep her for a couple years until the little one can walk and then work on...
I had to cut the heads off mine with a Dremmel and then use a stud extractor. And LOTS of penetrating oil. The flat blade screwdriver probably won't work because in a marine environment the bolt...
I haven't run into the high temps, but if you are going to pull the exhaust manifolds, let me give you a word of advice: use penetrating oil on the mounting bolts for the manifolds and risers....
The Pertronix kit just dropped right in for me. Been running great for about 4 years. Could have glued the cap on and left it...
Looks awesome with the new graphics!
I have seen casters under the prop guard on my friend's Malibu trailer. they were about 2 inches wide from what I remember and low profile. Don't remember much more about it other than they seemed...
Only send this on to someone you don't like. The distributor appears to be an HEI unit from a car. Unless someone sees something I don't, the "beast" is an explosion waiting to happen...
If your manifolds are cracked on the outside of the water jacket, they can be welded with a special welding rod. I can't remember the type of rod, but you can find it on the net. I would not attempt...
Also check DIYwake.com. They have some mounting hardware that might fit your new tower.
Check with Summit Racing or JC Whitney. They have electronic ignitions for both the Mallory and Prestolite marine distributors. About 70-80 bucks. Definitely needs to be the marine version. Very easy...
Check on Summit.com. Should be about 90 bucks. Again, make sure you get the right one. Pertronix makes several specifically for marine applications.
No more points to adjust or wear out, hotter...
Somewhere on the Correct Craft boards there is a good write up with photos on how to pull just the trans. You will want to raise the back of the motor by placing a bottle jack under one of the...
Since you already have the boat in pieces, you might want to look into a hydraulic or electric trim tab (around 5 bills). The hard part about putting one in seems to be everything in the way when you...
Gorgeous boat! How did you do the gelcoat yourself? Do you have access to a lift or were you somehow able to do it on the trailer?
The blue hose that goes to the rear of the transmission on the starboard side of the trans is the one that you remove to get to the transmission filter. Pull it out, clean it, and slide it back in....
Hunt around on the bulletin board for "service manual". Someone has a link to an outside web site that has the PCM manuals for the transmission and your motor. For oil, I think it is 4 quarts plus...
Mostly 80s to 90s hard rock and metal, with some newer stuff thrown in, similar to Gravity 08. I mostly put on the older stuff to annoy my kids, and then laugh when their friends say the music is...
Throw it in the water and push start it!
The folks who have posted are right in encouraging you to rebuild it. The older Supras are rock solid and great boats (I have an 88) and a rebuild will...
Look up www.bierbower.net/diytower/home.htm It is a DIY tower/pylon projects page. There was a build it yourself camera mount for your tower that you mount your camcorder on. Since it mounts to the...
Just turned 41.
88 Sunsport (same age as my oldest)
Old guys rule! (ow, my back!)
It is pretty easy to do, (on a DD) just make sure you don not over-tighten the nut or it will wear the shaft and leak. Personally, with a v-drive, I would change it over to a dripless seal, since it...
I am curious how you will set up all the electrical components for the EFI. Most car stuff won't last long in a marine environment due to the heat under the doghouse and the moisture you get under...
