The only way I'd consider doing what your thinking would be to "mold" a reinforced flange to the hull of the jetski(matching the shape of the boat hull), then bond it with 3M 5200 to the alumium hull and bolting it thru the alumium with a matching alumium reinforcement flange mated on the inner...

Thanks for all the input. Sorta solvled the problem. Giving it to a friend at the river for spare parts for his 2 matching ones. He set me up with a real nice 78 7.5 mercury that is a real nice runner. :P moves the 12 footer along real nice. This boat has always in the past just been my shallow...

Doh! #-o Wish I'd seen that Friday. The OMC dealer told me it ran a 50:1...$#&%*@ I was running Amsoil Domonator at a 50:1. Fired it up Saturday and just made a short runs(150 yds) up the cut trying to get the highs dialed in (it wouldn't get out of it's own way) and picked up a chatter like...

Wanted to say Hi from the land of sky high corn and small rivers.(OK, really just dammed creeks) Move here 3 years ago from the Great Lake State. Wow,what a difference from running a 38' footer on Lk St.Clair to back on the 12' flat bottom Duck boat. What brought me here was all the cool...

Went and looked at a couple of motors a guy had. Ran compression on them.Wound up buying the 5.5 1960 Johnson for 60 frosties and rebuilt the carb. She runs but haven't water tested yet. To the question. He has a 70's 6 HP Rude that had 30# on the top cyl and 0 on the bottom. Talked to the...

Thanks for the share. Awesome saving on buying a manual that you use only a few times. =D>
