The closer they are at the start .... the better the install. They are made adjustbale so you can do just that, adjust them. I would not have a problem with 4...
Ron, Marilyn, I did a little searching and came up with these pics. I found the one that has similar mounts ... these must be factory like Ron's boat has and...
This is a photo from early in the installation of a new engine in a Niagara35. I hope the owner doesn't mind my using it as a good example. I sent the photo to...
I made a set of mounts exactly like these for my sail drive. If anyone is pondering changing to a saildrive, this set up is excellent. I also have an extra...
This is how its done. I would assume that they cut the stringers down in this pic to accomodate a different engine with lower mounts. Not to crazy about the...

Here is a pic of my W-27 installation. You can't see it, but there are 4 "L" brackets--one under each rear isolation mount and one under each of the front...
I can't answer that, as it is not my installation. The owner may not be on this list at the moment. He had previously had a saildrive and had to change to a...
On my W-27, the V-drive just hangs on the engine. It's not mounted to anything. Ron Dwelle N35 183 Annwfn On Oct 31, 2009, at 2:12 PM, Robert Payne wrote: Is...
Ron, On the W 27 with Vee drive you don't have to pull the engine. If you build a 2X4 Frame that goes around the inside of the engine compartment you can ...
The photo "Maybe original" definitely looks like an original installation. 4 mounting brackets was a practical necessity. The mounting holes on the engines...
Wes, Thanks for the info, but I'm not clear on the 2x4 frame Do you mean a 2x4 wood frame to temporarily hold the engine high? The engine hangs 3" to 8" below...
Engine mounts are very accurate these days. Most all manufacturers provide drawings with CL crank to mount attachment bolts and face of mounting surface, also...
Ron, Yes, it was a wood frame above the engine to hold the engine up to get access to the engine isolation mounts and L brackets on the engine beds. There was...
Hi everyone, Just to let you know I had my forward hatch refurbished (new cast acrylic, gasket, seals and knobs). Work was done by Hammerhead Nautical...

If you find an answer, I'd like to know too! I certainly don't use it for a hanging locker. I suspect the anti-siphon loop valve in my case, there has been...
When was the last time you changed out all the hoses in your head system? In most cases, folks haven't ever changed them out, they become permeated, and those...

When I removed all of the seawage hoses from my boat, I noticed they were all original and mostly just marine grade (for 1978) black hose. There are some fine...
Don't forget to check the air vent from the tank. Ours was plugged, not with spiders but with gunk. Also, remember to change the subject line when changing...
Henry, Make sure the vented loop is working properly. The vent on the top of the loop needs to be serviced from time to time. Also, check that the vent line ...
Another thought I had is that the bilge needs proper ventilation. Somebody I talked to installed small computer type milliamp fan(s) to draw air out from the...
