Hello, My work progresses on the boat. I now have the oil pan gasket replaced and seems to have stopped the leak. As we now have accepted an offer on our house I need to step up the pace on getting the boat ready. I see on the board some references to replacing starter for the p-60 with a marine grade one. Has anyone identified which starter to use? Our starter works fine at the moment, I just feel any possible spare parts I carry is good planning.
Also, which type of oil to lube the distributor?
Thanks everyone,
Kevin |

Mr. Day, I also meant to ask what gasket or gasket material should be used to connect the manifold to exhaust pipe. The existing one is copper and needs replacing badly.

Go to [email protected] Send John a pattern if he has not already made the Exhaust manifold to pipe flange gasket. You need a compressible copper gasket. He make excellent reproductions and is very reasonable. The tractor exhaust gaskets work fine for the block to the manifold. You need two. |

If your starter is the standard
IHC CUB LO-BOY-C60 tractor starter you are not required by the Coast Guard to replace it with a marine starter. I don't know what date the marine starters became a CG requiment for marine engines so the date of manufacture of your engine decides what starter you must use as a replacement. That is my understanding of the rules. |
