Has anyone ever bent outdrive ram pin?
I am finishing reassembling my boat this wknd and i found the front anchor pin/cros pin that holds the rams badly bent. I had to saw it off to get it out of gimbal housingypu would almost think you'd have to back into something to bend it as it is 3/4 solid rod.Has anyone bent one,the back one is fine,Smitty

LOL!! hole hawg kick the crap outta ya 
Might be on the river tommorrow. It is suppose to be thunderstorms in the afternoon. I would like to do a few runs to see if I can find the perfect timing for the motor.. i had Just set it at 38* total last year.. Really need to find out if it likes more or less timing.
rock on brother, sounds like your doin good... good luck

Travis,got boat running tonight FINALLY( at least on hose)! Yes,i will DEFINATELY need mufflers,sounds like dry exhaust with the 5" tails. We hacked and wittled plus every person who helped over this wknd said never again! Had to cut 3/4 inch off prochargerinlet to run any kind of screen,of course had to dissasenble it and clean it. Stainles high tq 3's are a nightmare on my boat plus they are ugly,shoulda got the cml's. Just have to put interior back in and tie a few loose wires and I'll finally see the water this year hopefully tommorrow,Smitty
