Inboard Conversion

Post by BobBollman »

I am beginning a conversion...from outboard power to a Yanmar inboard diesel. Have a 1GM10, shaft, and strut from a 7.9. What I need are some measurements for locating the strut. I'm thinking, a measurement from the transom lower edge (outside), to the front, and rear edge of the strut, (the base, or the strut leg, please specify) at the hull surface. All who can send measurements will be very helpful! I want to keep the original location, and would like to compare a number of measurements to verify the correct position on the hull.

Hi Bob,
If you haven't received the dimensions you were looking for let me know and I'll check them this weekend. I've pulled the IB and have the strut, shaft, etc. out of the boat. John

Hi John,
It will be great if you could get me some measurements. I'm looking for the correct Fore and Aft location.
Thanks,
Bob
