RE: Need help with water pump issue
mario , good luck. if the old pumps worked before ? then they should work again. just hook them up as a test and if it works you will know that those new pumps are your problem.

RE: Need help with water pump issue
put the other 2 pumps( the one you say you have run already) on and try it again. leave everythin else like you had it. just replace the 2 mhz pumps with the old one you have.

RE: Need help with water pump issue
just looking at your engine picture. who did the installation of the tap on the isolator block? does not look right? i think whoever did it went into the carbs fuel pump port. the water pump should go all the way through one side of the isolator block and cleanly into the intake port.

RE: My Little Caesar's Pizza Offshore Racer
THATS A VERY NICE BOAT. soemone went deep into the archives for this one. Leo there are a couple of those around. but not many. i remember this one as it has the running lights installed. each boat varied from one to another in the paint scheme. that happens when you do them one by one and they are hand painted. this one is very nice.

RE: Name this Boat? and where can i get a hatch?
its an apache for sure. but it could have benn made by several builders. get some measurement for the hatch width and length and you should be able to get one from one of the guys that still build this type of hull. aeromarine being one of them.

RE: **Cigarette Racing Apache AMG replica - BUILD**
AJ , i love this build! but i think your drives need to be rotated? unfortunalely , the transom will have to be closed and all the hole sealed and then redrilled to the proper hieght. red line and green line should match. the drives have a flat portion on either side. it was designed to fit either port or starboard installations. so the flat portion should be even or just slightly above the bottom of the hull. at least thats the way they are on my cats, and they work great with both positive and negative trim available. just my .002

RE: **Cigarette Racing Apache AMG replica - BUILD**
OK. this shot might be better or even less confusing. both arnesons should drop and then rotate. the left one to the left and one to the right one to the right. yellow arrows show position of those two particular holes. this leaves the flat portion of each drive even or slightly above the hulls bottom.

RE: Can anyone identify this motor?
lots of those around. its a Mitsubishi T-110. was one of the first engines converted to marine (with a straight plug). the others were the smaller mac 22s (angled plug). these were popular due to the dual bearings ( crank supported at both ends ). instead of the Homelite where the crank is only supported in the front. they were used in the old (original) WHH enforcer gas hulls. where the hull was very shallow and the motor stuck out way above the hull. nice motor, bulletproof for just clunking around. not much HP so the speed wont be much either.

RE: RTR boat Selections
i agree with all of the above. 1. looks good . OK , if you have skills ( you will be re-doing the boat in short order) original $ layed out, plus more bucks and time 2. nice but same as above X1 3. very nice scale look, but same as above X 2 so basically dont let the sexy looks fool ya. if you dont have the bucks. look around for a used WHH boat. 300-400 bucks or even less. even if it has an old homelite motor in it. you will not be dissapointed with a WHH boat. and as for personal customer service, HANDS DOWN TONY !

what about a Kanellos drive. they are pretty darn big so the size might work better on your 1/4 scale. let me know if you need some measurements. i will get some for you.

here is an old AMPS drive that was trashed. had water entry and sat for a long time .i gutted it out and installed a bearing carrier. so now it works like a steerable drive.

RE: Semi-scale Mercuiser idea - thoughts?
very nice work on that hull. yes that should work just fine. i was thinking about doing the same at some point. dummy drive wrapped around the strut , but having the rudder built into the dummy drives cavitation plate. that way the rudder would be right behind the prop and only the rudder would turn. you wouldnt have to worry about the drive turning or cable proplems..
