I've been given a list of Mocom's locally: 1924, 1923, 2023 and 2024. I don't know how to make a choice. And this country (South Africa) sux where info and spares are concerned. Looks like whatever I decide on, I will have to source on the net and bring over myself? :(

Eventually i'm back again :P with another (stupid? :unsure: ) question. I'm running an ancient deep V with a new SC46 Marine engine 7.5cc, direct drive. What will be the best propeller to use with this setup?

Thanx Found a smallish washing machine drive belt at a bargain. It is a lot tougher than anything else I've come across up to now. Sewing machine belts are very expensive here as they are all imports. My country sux :-[ It's the most beautiful country in the world :P , but the economy is up...

Hey Jeff The engine is still very tight, so it's not that easy to start by hand. I especially bought a quite expensive starter to mike life easy, but I cannot seem to find a proper belt to use. I've seen on some of the sights that a kevlar reinforced belt is available, but with the exchange...

Thanx guys I've replaced everything but the propshaft and prop on my baby. The engine... Well, it is supposed to be a "cheapy", but in this country it is still very expensive! The exhaust is side mounted and I've fitted an alluminum OS pipe to it ??? The carb is between the flywheel and the...

Hi I'm totally new to this and having a battle to obtain information. I "inherited" a very old (approx 20 year old) V-hull racing boat. The motor was beyond use, so I got a SC 46M engine and built it in. I've been trying to obtain information on how to run this motor in properly and tuning the...
