Cye do you do the bracket with the pin to hold the alien couling on ,if so how much? ( i mean the one that is on top of the couling)

Yes I do the bracket with Pin if required.
Do you have a standrd brkt at present?
If so you can use the pin from that.
What engine is it for: 280 with alternator or 260efi
Price without pin is: £25.00 If you require pin then I'll have to check mercury price and get back to you.

It's for a 260 Cye and it's one of Nico's coulings. I beleive it's the one that used to be on palpitations.

[B], the mold has a couple of hairline cracks in it and they have transfered to the cowl. I'm thinking about what to do about this, might spray them in gel again but that's alot of work.

If they're cracks in the mould they will leave a "positive" fault, that is to say the fault will be proud of the moulding, so should be easy to tidy up the moulding with a bit of wet & dry. To be on the safe side double gel that area!

Thanks Tony, thats the sensible thing to do realy! Also this one is a little flimsy, i'll put more glass in the next ones.

This one was just a test realy! But it looks good.

As Tony said just 1200 them and mop them up after....

Looks like the mouldings need a bit of a nip over with the mop anyhow?

Long beach 2 years ago.

you're right Cye! Did they ever have a problem with the couling coming off.

[Cyco]

No they never had a problem as it has the genuine Mercury lockdown on it.
I did alot of work on Phantasm just before Tony Sold it.
The wiring was a complete mess on it, (like a birds nest) the fuel pump was rotten through as it was held on by a velcro strap.
There were other various little things that went wrong and needed fixing but overall the boat was very good.
May be worth checking the seats, think that one had been repaired in the base.
Gave Tony a number of Custom parts to fit, don't know if he supplied them with the boat.
Driver foot rest, Fuel pump holder (billett machined) Anchor pot, new fuel pump, battery tray, intercom holders & heel plate.

Have you had the motor re-built yet?
What prop are you running on it.

we've had the motor rebuilt, also the gearbox was a bin job so we had new gears 2:1, new driveshaft, new propshaft and all the bits that go with them. We've had the boat retrimmed in blue/silver, used your fuel pump holder on a new Mercury fuel pump, new battery, totally rewired, new hydraulic steering hoses front to back with stainless ends, took the lift off cos we cant use it in the worlds.oh and had the trailer shotblasted etch primed painted in two pack with aly chq plated steps and the same stainless mudguards but a bit more polished. also new five spoke alloys and tyres Still trying out props the mach that was with it gives us to many revs (as running2:1 now) so trying a few things at prop revolutions at the moment. The boat has come up lovely with a mop i'll post some pics if you tell me how to!
