Re: 1985 Outrage 18 Purpose of small rope

Your second picture also nicely depicts the starboard to port rigging tunnel that is your access from the main rigging tunnels (co-located with the forward fuel tank strap), over the fuel tank, then into the port rigging tunnel, which houses the fuel fill hose and tank vent.

Re: 1985 Outrage 18 Purpose of small rope

The Outrage 18 has two messenger lines to aid in rigging the boat. One runs from console to the aft sump. The second runs from the console forward, in the smaller rigging tunnel, through a plastic round plug, where it terminates in a knot, Which keeps it captive forward of this plug. Inside the anch...

Re: Methods to Adhere KING StarBoard to Thin-wall Laminated Surfaces

Sudbury elastomeric sealant worked well for me. They often have a sample of various King Starboard shapes glued together, hanging on a chain from the peg the product it stocked on.

I tested it with just a light 100 grit sanding. Could NOT separate. Good adhesion.

Gubernaculum, The following relates to the classic Outrage 18: There are two sets of collars for the console/rigging tunnel area.

Re: Morse controls

Guitarfish, your boat was equiped with a Morse MT2, no longer made. The Morse MT3 is very similar looking but dimensionally quite different. The Morse MT3 is a redesign of the Morse MT2 but certainly not a drop in match. You will find quite a few Morse MT2' s on the selling sites in various conditio...

I am counting on only the higher engine mounting of 2 holes up to increase rpm. I didn't mean to suggest the stainless steel propeller would contribute.
