other than my berts track holders, every thing else on my boat is Tony's GLP. His product is great and I couldn't ask for a better fit especially with his customization to my boat. Two thumbs up!

I grew up using these. I honestly through them all out.. They were pretty dried up and iffy looking, but if you are looking for a score, the fingerlakes flee market is full of older gear and I usually see these every year. Nick

hook-ums! too! http://www.hook-um.com/

Good deal. Snatch this up!

Your pizza is great. Nice treat after a day on the water! Nick

Thanks. It's all part of the job. I went to school for diesel equipment technology, but an engine is an engine. I look at it this way, If you mess something up, you try again. As much as I want to say that I disliked this project. I have now come to agree with myself, it was all worth it.. Now I can relax while on the water I hope. If anyone is ever looking to upgrade their ignition, I highly recommend the Mallory YLM system. Its a direct fit for Marine applications. Thanks for anyone who put in some input along my journey, now its time to think spring! Nick have a nice weekend

Thanks! Nick

She's in and getting washed up. Ran her one more time to winterize and now I'm dying for spring!<br /> <br /> Nick<br /> <br /> Sent from my XT907 using Lake Ontario United mobile app<br /> <br />

Glen, not a problem. If yo get in a jam, plenty of space here! You've put me up before, I can only repay the favor. Nick

I'm a fan of making it work. I have the square cap style on the 290 dp s drives. I was able to drill tap and plug the pin hole in the case and not interfere with ram stroke. Super excited. Going to winterize, wash and wax tomorrow then I'm ready!<br /> <br /> Sent from my XT907 using Lake Ontario United mobile app<br /> <br />

Looking at this trim cylinder. Starboard side. It has four lines going to it. I had marina service them last year. But they failed to do work order before winter and cracked cylinder I think? Not sure but now this will be fun.<br /> <br /> Sent from my XT907 using Lake Ontario United mobile app<br /> <br />

Also pap, I have an extra four Barrel if you ever wanna swap it out..<br /> <br /> Sent from my XT907 using Lake Ontario United mobile app<br /> <br />

Pap,<br /> She's a four barrel. 1986. 286 trophy bay liner with an gm Volvo penta aq260 engine. 86 was the year they really changed things up. They took parts from 85 combined with the swap to an 87 and made the 86 motor. Weird but that's what gm did to use up parts from what I understand. I have long studs I use. Hang the gasket on studs. Put on manifold start a couple bolts. Remove studs and insert the remaining bolts and torque from inside to outside. Then install risers and torque. They are not cheap! Heck a t stat housing is over 150 used....<br /> <br /> <br /> Last night I ran the engine for about fifteen minutes. Enough to time it. Will winterize and park boat till spring. I have a video but pain in but to link it here. I can't believe how easy it starts. Just goes to show how tired the old motor really was. Doesn't even get rolled over once and vroooom.<br /> <br /> Sent from my XT907 using Lake Ontario United mobile app<br /> <br />
