[Rhodes22-list] "new" rhodes owner

[Todd Tavares]

Bob,

I am not sure how all manfacturers classify their motors (engines), but
here is a pic of the Johnson/Evinrude engines.  I believe they are 15",
20 ' and 25".  Look at the lengths of the housing extension part.  You
can add or remove the housing extensions and change the lengths.  The kit
usually contains the drive shaft, gear shift rod, water tube, housing
extension, gaskets and hardware.  You can also get extension kits for
Mercury, Mariner, and Yamahas.

  i am now the proud owner of a '80 rhodes22 (buyers fee will be going
  to
  stan.)

  and now the first of what will likley be many questions for the
  group.....

  1. MOTOR - first and most important.... many references in
  archives...

  a. Brand - I will be getting a new motor this weekend. 9.8-9.9 four
  stroke..... tohatsu or mercury? archives show a loyal tohatsu
  following.
  My concern would be the scarcity of listed service locations as
  opposed to
  mercury?

  b. Shaft - references to "long" but which.... 20?, 25?

  2. PORTS

  first project is leaky forward opening ports. I removed one last
  weekend,
  and while researching replace vs repair, i see t hat the angle is too
  steep
  for drained ports. What about drilling a hole or two in the bottom,
  put in
  a tube fitting and running tubing in back of the liner down to
  another
  fitting that takes it back outside to drain? Did anybody ever try
  that?

  appreciate any and all help....
