    Slient Engine (Joe Monohan)

    Hi, this is Wennie from Cape Town, South Africa. I received an e-mail early yesterday afternoon from Carl Van Houten informing me of Joe's passing away and this is very sad news as Joe and I had a special relationship since we 'met' each other via his website in 2013 and he and I shared e-mails...

    Hi Guys, for what it's worth, we've been running a healthy class of In-board gas tunnels for the last few years. It's run as a modified class with most running the 'big-block' 30 and 30,5 motors.

    'Home-made' replacement propshaft & bushing for 7.5 K&B lower.

    Hi Carl, I trust you and your family are well. Herewith my answers to your questions. I simply use pliers to hold and tighten the new bushing into the lower. However, the secret is to screw the bush into the lower before any oil or grease is present on the components. I use a drop of CA-glue on...

    I posted the information below on a Facebook page this morning, where a few OB boaters were talking about the well-known concerns of the poor durability and lifespan of the standard prop-shaft bushes in our 7.5 lowers. In response, I feel obliged to share my solution for this problem. About...

    Rough water !

    Hi Andy, Sorry, I should have cottoned onto that, as the photographer that took these photos uses the same professional level cameras as my son does. I don't know the actual make and model of Colin Brown's cameras but my son uses a Conon 5D Mk-II Digital SLR and a 6D Digital SLR. Cheers, Wennie.
