  1. I always liked those Ticonderogas. They remind me of "mini Bertrams". I always hated those big engine boxes though. I think going to a bracket with outboards would free up a lot of cockpit space. Nice Boat.

    Portside seat barfing it's guts out the back. Flaking paint on underside of top. Embarassing! All redone now.

    Things I added: electric flush potty, holding tank, fresh water tank, PAR pump with surge tank, Good windlass and roller, sink and cabinet, Charles battery charger, VSR, AGM batteries, Halogen (soon to be LED) lighting, navigation lights, Water Witch bilge switch, Uniden VHF, Galaxy antenna, fender baskets, side ladder mounts, wiper, hydraulic steering, random deck hatches, Besenzoni pedestals, new Chevy 350 with Edelbbrock 750 and Performer intake, complete rewire with Ancor wire and ring terminals, Navpod helm station above, Faria gauges, reupholstered seats, and lots more...

    Newer pix to come with all the updates.

  2. I'm guessing when you say that you saw "spray on the cylinder head", you meant that there was evidence water had hit the head; not that water was comming out of the head.

    If all you did was change the lower unit, I'm guessing it's one of two things.

    First, when you install the lower unit, along with the driveshaft and gearchange, there is a round water pipe. This pipe, via a replacable coupler, must engage the round pipe comming down from the power head. This pipe is the output of the waterpump. If for whatever reason, both pipes aren't seated in the coupler correctly, or the coupler is missing, water would be spraying everywhere.

    The second posibility is that you knocked the pee streem hose off the through cowling fitting, the fitting dropped off (Into the water), and now the pee strean hose is loose under the cowling.....
