Save-A-Boat - The Forum for Plastic Classic Rebuilds!

Can you tell us a little about your plans to install the engine? What type of stern tube are you planning on using and will the packing gland be on the stern tube directly or are you planning on using a rubber hose to move the packing gland forward?

Also what type of muffler are you planning on using?

Engine installation details should be available shortly. My new engine arrives here in a week, after which I will begin the installation.

The general plan is a standard fiberglass stern tube (new and in stock ready to go), traditional stuffing box with rubber hose, and yet-to-be-determined waterlift muffler.

I'll include full detail once I get into the project. It's looming ahead in the next couple weeks.
