Re: barrel back 19 in annapolis

Re: Converting an outboard engine to an inboard
I converted my inboard 3.0L from a I/O. all that midsection/lower unit/steering crap is heavier than you think. I weighed that crap, and I weighed the strut/rudder/shaft/Velvetdrive also. I was shocked what I found out.
