THANKS, Bob

Awesome, glad to be of service. Now, about your boat - is it an inboard prop or is it a jet?

Is it just me, or does a 327 in a boat sound like a mismatch? Unless you're running a high RPM surface drive and foil, the torque band would tend to be out of the useful RPM for a conventional screw.

Sorry about the responce time.. Its a 17' jet drive.. And the 327 is what was in it when i got it so i rebuilt it and put it back in? It launches like a bat out of hell and the high reving rpm is what a jet drives speed is all about.. The more RPM the faster you can go , right..

So, what is the prognosis? Pulling an engine from a hold is no fun chore.
