About ready...

Post by Hymodyne »

After the installation of an A4 in my CD22, I am almost ready to put her back in the Nanticoke River here in MD:

Inside, I have to install a hatch in the starboard engine housing side panel, so I can manually open and close the RW thru hull.

Once we get to the Marina, I have to check if my location for the raw water strainer is correct, and the rate of water from the packing box.

I'll bite. What's an A4? Can't imagine anyone is installing an Atomic 4 in any vessel today. :?:

Yep, an atomic 4. Parts are still available, and there is a nice group of sailing folks who have also powered their boats with one.

GE All

Actually those engines freakin rock (assuming they are sound)!!!!!! I would not disqualify a vessel solely because it had an Atomic 4.

Super cool boat. I love the a4 those things are indistructable. Had one in my last boat I recommend the PVC value upgrade though.
