Javafish,

FWIW...

From what I recall the Honda 9.9 4 stroke weighed 99 lbs from the beginning of production.

Perhaps someone else has more reliable info than my memory. LOL

Be careful, Aerojet777, just like whiskey and women, there are different grades of butyl tape. Mainesail has the best stuff.

FWIW. PO sealed ports with silicone sealant. Looks sorta rough... but none of them leak!

Thanks, CraigWik,

Your trailer sounds identical to mine.

Don't know what the boat weighs, but I think 7400 pounds is stamped on the TRAILER data plate. Most of the data plate is illegible so I am guessing that is the max gross weight of boat and trailer. What is the towing capacity of the tow vehicle? Will you be towing on level roads or hilly terrain? FW...

Matt, The mushroom bushings should not be fastened to the boat. The bushings on mine just fit in the recess the bottom of the hull and in the recess in the cockpit. It is my guess that they were designed to fit tightly in the recesses and the rudder shaft would rotate in them. Don't know for sure. T...

My C26 rudder bearings (top and bottom) are just like yours. The rubber hose and clamps are the same too. Recently ordered one bushing from Idarudder. Top mushroom bushing/bearing was well worn (eroded) from the weight of the rudder/tiller assy. BTW :lol: Do you have a good recipe for Zebra Mussels?...
