You need the bracket shown as #5 in the parts driawing. There are two of them in the picture of the whole trim system.
Agreed on the size, weight, complexity, and that cutting the valve area / cycle in half will make a difference but difficult to know without a cut and try. Hard to guess since the valves and ports...
You could potentially stagger operation of the the 4 valve head help make the rpm feasible. Use 2 valves per revolution like a four stroke. That would give the valve springs a chance to live. I...
The XP would have originally come with stiff lower mounts. Same as the 300 hp 20" V8 and very stiff rubber but not solid. The upper mount was a normal V6 piece.
I don't believe soft upper mounts...
Yes, I know exactly what effective pitch is required.
But I'm writing in English so perhaps this is a waste of time.
So what was your confusion? The Queen Mary used big props. So do all ships.
At 175 rpm it takes a pitch of around 15 to 16 feet to yield 30mph. Pretty normal looking prop other than being about 20 feet in diameter.
They are all "fishing gear cases" if that means they shift and have conventional through hub exhaust. The 15" 75hp models after 1975 all had a 3-3/8" diameter case with the 15:28 ratio and the 20"...
As far as I know all the three cylinder, 15" midsection, 75hp engines, since the small gearcase came out in 1975 are all 15:28. Right through to the end of the SST-60.
But there could be two...
I had also thought that but a spare I have made me wonder. I know the stators and timing bases are different but the trigger magnet ring on the flywheel hub is split at 180* like a triple. Casual...
Are Johnson/Evinrude flywheels from 45 inch twins and 49 inch triples interchangeable? 1970s style CD ignition.
Some form of a Mercury F2 sounds ideal. Plenty of legs and gearboxes around and Mercury hasn't changed much other than cowling and decals since 1979. Use whatever 2.0/2.4/2.5 powerhead you wish.

Allison uses patents to protect their property. Darris has both cosmetic design patents like the one for the Sleekcraft in this post and traditional utility patents like anyone might get for any...
This was Parker 1982 and I think was the last time I saw a VP run. Don't remember the names. I do remember it was uncomfortable watching this thing run 50 feet from the spectators.
Joe - Thanks...
Cool stuff. What hull model is that in JoeMcCauley3.jpg?
Darris probably knows. Call and ask. If nothing else, they could look up who they sold it to originally.

For what its worth, SST120 inspection specs are just as loose.
Wouldn't an LTV be ideal for this?
The problem with adding setback is the lower unit height rule. 12" back with the same height in relation to the bottom will result in lot more lower unit pushing water.
I would try moving the...
The SST 60 did have a power trim system. This is a race engine, so it uses a proper horizontal ram thru the transom.
If you mean why it didn't have a fishin' motor trim/tilt? That design isn't...
Here is the best guide I have seen. Even has the race stuff.

Appear to be written my Mercury so if you want some variety, you might have to make some changes.
