Bill, Rather than getting the fitting brazed you might be able to drill out the bolt hole(in the hardware we don't have a name for) to a larger size and put...
By the way, there is no détente for reverse like you feel for forward in the Atomic 4 transmission. You need to hold it if it doesn’t stay in place. It ...
Pulled the shaft out of Winterhawk and found it deeply scored at the packing point probably due to severe shaft misalignment. Anyway, time for a new shaft. Any...
The prop from Indigo gets favorable reviews for the Atomic 4. It’s a fixed 10” 3-blade prop with about a 7 pitch as I recall. If you’re going to race ...

Gordon, I'm going to probably do the same thing shortly, I have the original shaft from 1972. My problem is I cannot get the stuffing box from dripping inside...
Bob, This is probably a dumb question but are you using the teflon packing? I find this to be foolproof on my boat. Why would you expect scoring at the...

Bob, Try the teflon packing, I forget the brand. It will ³fill² those grooves. I¹m using it in my Yankee 28 It has completely stopped dripping as it is...
Thanks Guys, Yes I'm using the teflon packing and what happens is I tighten up the gland to just a very small drip, more like a seep, run the engine and check...
