Re: 41' '88 Marquis - General questions on

Re: Help Finding A Quality Remanufactured 318 vs. Rebuild

I have been a professional mechanic for 35 years, started out in the car business and worked my way up to Kenworths and Peterbilts. For the past 10 years I have been employed in a shop that specialized in fire truck repair, just to give you some background. Thru my career I have worked in two differ...

Re: CW rotation Build

I have to get up to the boat in a week or two, I left my original Chrysler marine parts manual up there, but I think there are LT and RT crankshaft part numbers, for as Leviathon suspects, the oil ports machined into the crank are angled in the opposite direction. When I confirm this I will post. Th...

Re: Sewage in the engine compartment

A trick I used after a leak on mine was to dump a bottle of mint flavored Listerine mouthwash in the bilge, then let it sit for for a week. Sucked it out with a shop-vac and seemed to get rid of the stench.

Re: A little crazy?

Just a thought, have you ever contemplated outboards? I have seen a few M's that had the transoms modified for this conversion. Modern outboards are small and powerful and can be removed for service by just lifting them off. There is a lot of people that have done the conversion on glass boats as we...

Re: Gas tank leak

Re: 41' '88 Marquis - General questions on

I purchased my 37' from a private owner, no broker. Went to my title office (in Wayne county Ohio) transferred title and was able to transfer the current registration with no problem. Other than the state sales tax ($$$/ouch) it was pretty painless.
