Looks like the water has come up quite a bit. Nice day for it.

Its a crazy year Bob. Nearly the end of May and I'm thinking of going for a run today, if not tomorrow.

Picked up this right angle drive the other day. Not sure if I'll run it or not. It does give me the option of another drive for a fuel or oil pump if I need it.
The only concern I have is with the distributor eventually filling with oil as my engine will be on the wrong angle for it. I am contemplating packing it with grease as an alternative. Anyone seen a twin spark plug head for a grey haha.

Just take the grease cap off and run a line back to the sump, fit a good lip seal at the top and Bob's your neighbor.

Ah yes, the happy tacho. I spoke to one previous owner who stated he used to pull 8500 rpm with the grey in this boat. I nearly spat my coffee all over my laptop. If he only new what a grey would really do at those revs. The boat would have looked like a sieve after the explosion of parts.
At least I know my tacho is accurate and tested. Peak Hp for a std grey is 75hp at 4200 rpm, so it all equates sadly to about 80hp currently.
