Average speed of 3KTS? In a 27' hardtop express? Yyyyyep, you can. First major failure I have ever had with a Chrysler small block, ever. Anyway, I have put about 45 hours on my boat since I got it this fall, and it has ran like a top. Until Friday. I was cruising along, about 9KTS, at 2600rpm, in a 5-6' following sea, and all hell broke loose. It seems the crank broke somewhere between the first rod journals and the flange. The motor spins from the front, and the flywheel spins free from the back. Is this a popular thing? Anyone had it happen before? The owner before me paid big bucks to have a rebuilt marine 360 installed in the place of a 318. Because the 318 is internal balance, and the 360 is external, I wonder if the weighted flywheel was put on the back of the 360. Any place to get a good crank? This happens to be a single screw right hand (Backwards) engine. Are the cranks the same?<BR --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
