Pinning Your Carrier

[mrichartz]

Bob's machine has them for $65 which seems pretty reasonable to me. https://bobsmachine.com/product/blow-out-ring/

For omc? Damn i thought i looked there... Just looked for 2.4 2.5... almost got my hopes up.. lol

It would probably be about 1/16" too large which seems fine to me. Fair bit of work to attach and fair in any case.

Yea could make one with the same amount of work give of take... Did find the right size stainless for it and a few hours of work but now i cant remember where..
Actually if it were cheaper i wouldn't mind spending the time making it smaller to fit but

16 years on my pinned lower unit and wore a groove so I had this made and welded on it is a total of 1/2 inch wider to span the groove I then drilled and tapped it for pinning, I do have a Taylor mid so the exhaust relief isn’t an issue, it actually hooks up better now on holeshot with less aeration to the prop.

My bad, sorry.
Auto spell in my new phone and me not proof reading.

Lol... Mike Mark close enough ... I assumed you meant me by the testing question..
Still looking for a 26 lh chopper just so i have a smaller pair when i really run it.. only have the 28 mazcos which so far were good. But didnt really push it yet.. and actually my back has been an obstacle have to have someone when i go just in case..
Oh thanks..
And yea yours really looks nice. Must be alot of fun.
Oh i remember your comment on them being 6 " narrower yea you pretty much just look in the direction you want to go and you're turning.. actually going to be bringing the boat over here today and get a couple of small things done so im ready to go if when i ever find that 26 lh prop..or give in and just run the mazcos..just wanted to put some hours on it before i really ran those..

[mrichartz]

Haven't had any problems.. driveshaft or anything
I have always pinned them as soon as i got them. These have been 17/18 and 14/15 years.. have to go look but pretty close..
