Re: 1962 Seacraft
Just remember if you want to restore it back to original , Seacraft had there own conversion cast up for the grey and the red. having there name on it . If it was fitted out buy seacraft it would have it on the conversion and no dog clutch. I would stay with the red even by placing a 149 decal on t...

Re: 1962 Seacraft
You could run a scavenge line sucking around the thrust. You should still get oil around it then. I dont think the carnk splashing in the oil caused your problems. They have been setting up the engines like that for years. You could turn the engine around and run a z drive. That solves your worry o...

Re: 1962 Seacraft
Thanks Darren & Greg. Spent a little time this week sorting the exhaust system removing old burnt rubber hose and replacing the entire length with stainless. Not happy with the working oil level at the rear (front) of the engine. Seems the crank has spent its entire time smacking itself in the o...

Re: 1962 Seacraft
Found this underneath the deck today whilst fixing the wiring behind the dash. Looks to be a late 62 early 63 Seacraft from the date written.
Anyone recognise the name?

Re: 1962 Seacraft

Re: 1962 Seacraft
Hi Craig, I would tend to agree with the advice from Ken and screw it about leaving a red motor in as you will have a much more usable boat. I have a 186 in my Seacraft and it is great. If you want to go for a grey motor you would best look for the seacraft castings for originality. The marine gear...

Re: 1962 Seacraft
Congratulations on your purchase. I do feel for you when you first use your boat and it dies on you - I had the same situation on my boat that I am currently restoring and repowering from a grey motor to a red. I have all the marine gear needed for a grey motor if you are interested. Best of luck w...

Hi all, this is my first post after joining this forum due to my recent purchase of a 62 Seacraft. Originally named Woodray after owner Ray Wood (Either he lived in Poowong or the boat was built there by the Tulls). it Changed hands to some person in Deniliquin and then to Ian Hancock from Bendigo. ...
