I'm guessing that you are seeing the effect of a torque reaction from the prop. Looking from the rear,your prop is turning clockwise the reaction on the hull will be counterclockwise, hense the roll to the left (port side).
That 75 hp is a pretty big motor for a relatively light 16 ft boat.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Thompson.. another bit of our history lost. I met Roy and several members of the Thompson family at na ACBS boat show in Penn Yan, NY back 5 or 6 years ago. The local show was featuring Thompsons. I trailered my Sea Lancer from MI. Most of the other Thompsons t...

The assembly/disassembly sequence as Andreas stated is correct, requiring the removal of the garboard and other planks to access fasteners. However If you don't need or intend to remove the planks you can still complete the rib and keelson repairs. Screws into the keelson sisters will come out with ...

I'll take a shot at a couple of replies... The 60's vintage OMC electric shift lower units are apparently good reliable units if the gear cases had been properly maintained. These units did not like water mixed with the oil. John, as for replacement of the engine wiring harness. I think that you wou...

Brad, with conventional tools I see two possibilities, 1. use a 45 degree, pointed end router bit, with a guide tube on the router base - run it around a circular holed template. 2. If you got creative with a fly cutter type whole cutter, one might be able to make a custom bit that would cut the tap...

OK Tom let me take a shot at this... Based on my knowledge of these motors ( I have a 1961 75 HP ) I believe that both Evinrude and Johnson offered V-4 75's from 1960 thru the late 60's. The top of the line models had alternator charging systems (good) the others a generator. About 1962 the top of t...
