You should not need a puller. Separate the flange from the transmission, place a socket or similar between the end of the prop shaft and the end of the transmission then gradually tighten the flange bolts to press the shaft out of the flange. ( you will probably need longer bolts than the originals ...

I have the same mounts. My alternator is mounted to the tab. The pivot point of the alternator is attached to the tab and the sliding adjustment is mounted to a bracket attached to the front of the head. On my setup the alternator mounting points are reversed from normal, the threaded tab that is us...

The 13 x 12.625 is what I use most of the time. Before that I had the 13 x 13 and like you it was holding the rpms down a bit. Switching to the 12 x 12.625, the top end will probably be about the same, but would be a little better out of the hole.

Annual trip to Lake Mohave. Problem is it hits the same time as the Gathering. Would really like to reschedule or skip a year to make the trip to the Gathering.

Boat Life Caulk is what I used too. Easy cleanup. Small spots wipe off with a dry rag.
When it comes time to remove deck hardware and screws it is not a problem.

A Capri has more freeboard than a Monaco or Riviera. It is a tight fit keeping a V8 under the deck of a Monaco or Riviera. The depth of the hull is less the farther back you go. Plus if you move the engine back it will need to be mounted at a sharper angle. The engine would not fit under the deck. I...

Speaking of Van Dam boats,
A member of our ACBS chapter has three. Check out those, and some other great boats.

Keith, I have a single axle too. Ten years and a lot of miles. Just keep tabs on tire condition and pressure, at the beginning of every trip I stop after a few miles for a bearing check and make sure the hubs are not hot. Modifying a trailer for an outboard can be done, but like you mentioned you ha...

I agree with Kens on this. My Monaco is lighter and I have more than 240 HP and my WOT is closer to 5000 rpms. I think the stats calling for 14 or 15 pitch are too high. Most of the time I am running an Acme 13 x 12.625 .080 cup 3 blade. When we are pulling tubes or skiers I switch to a 13 x11 .120 ...

If you install a true lifting eye with your winch setup high, you do not need a bow eye. This is how the original boats were setup. Just me, but I would not put a bow eye through a cutwater.

I used tempered and ordered it online from here

You can send them a pattern and they will match it. Make notes on edges that need to be pencil polished.

What about a crank driven pump?

That is probably the premier boat show here in California. If you cannot wait until then,this weekend ( June 3rd) is the Wood & Glory show at Clear Lake. Lower key than Tahoe, but with a lot of the same boats. The show is free to the public and there is also a car show in the parking lot. Here a...

Your welcome, looks good.
