This is something that I want to do in the future. I just bought my boat, and am working on repairing it, so it's going to bit, but I can't wait.
Thanks for this thread.

You just obligated yourself to a boat-build thread!
Yeah man, I've been thinking about your marine transmission setup.Quote:

I've found that these mechanical shaft seals are where you're most vulnerable from a hull integrity standpoint, in that the only thing between you and the sea is a two piece rubber bellows held on by stainless hose clamps and four set screws.Quote:

It took me six or seven years to get my wife interested in doing the Loop. She wouldn't even step foot on a boat until early this year, and now she really likes it. I just had to stay patient and not push. I kept looking for ways to help her see how much fun it could be, and what finally worked was her seeing how much family and friends liked the idea and were wanting to come visit and even stay on the boat with us.Hwy30East said:
Great idea! That might help with convincing some of the wives what a great adventure the loop would be.
