Getting the starter worked on next week. Seats and rubrail look great!

Anyone have a spare bow cap for this rig?

I have a couple.. Top one off a cv-16, middle one off a 185 I think, and one off a gt-150. One should work for yours, just need to see witch one.. The angle of the bow?

Pictures of 1972 V-156's bow cap, your T-166 might be different.
Wide angle and long.

Edit ...
Your T-166 seems to be pointier ...

I'll happily give #3 a try. I think its going to be the closest.

I'm in search of this "L" shaped bimini pole connector. My boat has the adjustable mounts on the side of the boat, but one of the poles is missing the 90 degree angle insert. Has anyone seen one of these? I would prefer to not have to change the origional setup.

Got the wood from the deck refinished today! As well as the bimini out of storage. It has some rips that I would like to repair, but I wonder if i'm just being too picky.

Trying to find out the angle of the bow, then we can see wich one of the 3 I have to use.  They all have a diff. Angle.     Protractor maybe?

Need some help...

Got the motor running in the driveway. Pretty excited. Took it a minite to get running. Pulled the plugs and cranked it without plugs. Good amount of moisture in the bottom cylinder. Put them back, and got it to fire and run pretty well.

Toom it to the lake and got it fired up again. Died every time i put it in gear.

Pulled the plugs and found grey "foamy" oil in the bottom cylinder.

Ultimatly, i couldnt get it to start up again.

So, It seems to me i have water gettong into cylinder #3. There was a lot of that samy grey oil on the inside of the prop from the exhaust.

I assume this is bad. I assume that cooling water is breaching the cylinder somehow.

Any thoughts? Feeling kinda defeated.

Did some reading on iboats, and found that exhaust and head gaskets could be a problem. Apparently there is some type of exhaust plate that commonly warps due to heat. Might look into that. I am not an outboard mechanic, so this is frustrating.
