Generally speaking, 1960
inboard gasoline marine pow
er plants are lighter and
more powerful, using higher
octane leaded fuels and spec
ial water jet and outboard
lower unit drives.
. This was clearly indicated
by the boats on display in
January at the National Mo
tor Boat Show in New York.
A number of companies
have stepped up horsepower
for recreational craft in 1960
with the introduction of more
powerful V-8 engines and im
proved carburetion. Many
new engines make extensive
use of aluminum to give great
er horsepower to weight
ratios.
A number of the manufac
turers are recommending use
of either premium or regular
ethyl gasoline rather than the
non-leaded "white" fuels used
in the past.
Offer More Power
Among companies offering
greater V-8 power for the new
boating season are Chrysler,
Crusader, Dearborn, Gray,
Palmer and Universal.
Turbocraft, a division of In
diana Gear works, has launch
ed a revolutionary new power
package combining a standard
Gray 109 horsepower marine
engine with a three-stage tur
bine that forces a stream of
water out through the tran
som with such force that it
provides jet propulsion.
Water is taken in under the
hull amidship and ejected out
the stern making use of the
"equal and opposite reaction"
law of physics to give the boat
forward motion. Steering is
controlled by deflectors which
change the direction of the
stream of water ejected.
Inboard-Outboard Unit
The inboard four-cycle pow
er plant with outboard lower
drive unit that made its debut
early last year, when Volvo
exhibited a prototype, was
exhibited by two companies
at the 1960 show. After a
year of testing, the Swedish
Volvo company displayed its
four cylinder 80 horsepower
Aquamatic while the Mael
strom division of Mintrex
Corp. featured six cylinder
engines developing 90 and
135 horsepower with similar
drive unit.

Both companies claim high
speed outboard motor per
formance and maneuverabil
ity with inboard engine econ
omy for their products. Both
feature tilt-up lower units.
Most powerful of the new
V-8's to be seen at the show
was the Crusader 325 horse
power engine with 9Vi to- 1
compression ration and twin
four-barrel carburetion. The
company, whose entire line is
V-8, recommends use of 100
octane fuel. Palmer had two
new V-8's at 200 ' and 300
horsepower built on Interna
tional Harvester truck blocks,
also with higher compression
ratios and improved carbure
tion. Universal and Dearborn in
troduced new 275 horsepower
V-8's, the Norseman V-King
and the heavy - duty "Big
Boy," respectively. Built on a
Lincoln block, the Universal
"King" with 430 cubic inch
piston displacement is intend
ed for boatmen who want top
speed.
Large Cruisers
Dearborn's "Big Boy" has
the same piston displacement,
but is designed for use in
large cruisers and work boats
and in no way can be con
sidered a racing engine, the
company states.
A new 225 horsepower V-8
Imperial with low weight to
horsepower ratio has made its
entry into the Chrysler line
and features a waterproofed
eiectricai syitem,. "over
square" short stroke piston
design, exhaust manifolds
that are completely "water
jacketed and equal water sup
ply to each bank of cylinders
provided by dual pocket wa
ter pump. '
Graymarine showed its new
238 horsepower V-8 with four
barrel down-draft carburetion
as well as V-8's rated at 135,
170, 188 and 225 horsepower.
The company recommends for
best performance the use of
premium ethyl fuel in the 238
and 225 and either premium
or regular ethyl in the others.
Six Cylinder Power
Boatmen looking for six
cylinder power found a new
six introduced by Dearborn
the first time this company
has offered anything but V-8
engines. This new unit has
144 c.i. displacement with 85
horsepower and is suitable for
small runabouts.
At the same time Barr in
troduced a new conversion kit
for "marine-izing" Plymouth
and Dodge automotive sixes.
Gray, Universal, Chrysler,
Palmer and Burmeister and
Wain (Lathrop) all continue
to offer a wide range of sixes
for many varied uses.
Two and four- cylinder en
gines for use as auxiliaries in
sail boats or for powering
small cruisers and runabouts
were shown by Gray, Uni
versal, Palmer, Arnolt, Bal
lantine and Burmeister and
Wain.
Runabouts Built For
Water Skiing Shown at
New York Boat Show
Some of the inboard run
abouts seen at the recent Na
tional Motor Boat bhow in
New York were several new
craft designed especially for
water skiing, a 13-foot glass
utility and a new 16-foot fiber
glass boat propelled by water
jet power.
The Buehler Turbocraft, de
signed in New Zealand and
built in the U.S. by a division
of the Indiana Gear Works in
Indianapolis, is a new 40 mph
speedster propelled by a 109
hp marine engine that pumps
water in an intake flush with
the keel amidships and forces
it through a three-stage axial-
flow turbine and out through
an opening in the transom.
The force of the water
stream ejected into the air at
the stern propels the craft ac
cording to the basic "equal
and opposite reaction" law of
physics. Steering is controlled
by deflectors on either side of
the transom opening which
change the direction of the
jet.
Long noted for its produc
tion of custom and stock in
board cruisers and sailboats,
Luders introduced a 13-foot fi
ber glass inboard utility. Pow
ered with a 45 hp Graymarine
engine, she can attain speeds
up to 30 mph and is designed
for ship-to-shore tender duty,
water skiing, fishing and gen
eral utility.
New Inboards
Century, Chris-Craft and
Trojan snowed new inboard
speedsters for the water ski
market. The 17-foot Century
Sea Dart gives speeds to 40
mph with a 109 hp Gray en
gine and features a special
monocaque hull design adapt
ed from airplane wings. This
coupled with a unique topside
design, gives the Ski Dart the
"most precise maneuverabil
ity available," according to
the builder. A radical new 21
foot Continental runabout was
unveiled by Chris-Craft for
the first time at the show.
Trojan showed its new 17
foot Ski Bee with V-8 power
ranging from 135 to 170 hp.
Builder of "Thoroughbred"
inboard runabouts of African
mahogany construction, Cen
tury also showed the 1960
version of its luxurious $9,100
Coronado, with landau top I
and maximum power of 325 '
hp for speeds to 52 mph. Call
ed "the ultimate in inboard
runabouts," the Coronado has
an adjustable front seat for
greater comfort and visibility
for the helmsman. Other Cen
tury inboard runabouts fea
tured were the 19-foot Ara
bian, the 19 and 16-foot Re
sorters and the 22-foot lap
strake Raven utility with
small cuddy cabin forward.
Lyman, well-known Ohio
builder, showed two run
abouts and the 18-foot Island
er utility. The runabouts were
19 and 23-foot models. All
were clinker-built. The run
abouts may be fitted with pri
vate heads. The Islander seats
eight with controls amidship.
Ancarrow exhibited its six
boat inboard runabout "Fleet
of the Future" spotlighting the
20-foot Consul, powered by
twin V-8 engines totalling 470
hp. Called by the builder "the
fastest pleasure runabout of
fered to the boating public,"
the Consul is capable of
speeds upward of 70 mph.

Mercury Outboard Engineers
Give Spring Cleaning Hints
It is time to take the cover
off outboard motors and make
sure they are ready for serv
ice. If you went through the
proper winterizing steps last
fall, the motor is ready for
operation with little prepara
tion, according to Mercury
outboard engineers. But if you
were content to remove the
motor from the boat last Octo
ber and forget it for six
months, a little attention now
will pay big dividends in get
ting a season's trouble-free
operation.
Here are spring tune-up
steps in preventive mainte
nance: -Clean
Unit
First remove the cowling
and clean the entire unit thor
oughly, including all accessi
ble power head parts; then re
move the spark plugs and ro
tate the crankshaft by vigor
ously operating the starter to
remove oil deposits that form
during idle periods in the
cylinders and crankcase.
Another important step is
the inspection of spark plug
leads for damage or deteriora
tion, particularly where in
sulation comes in contact with
metal parts. Be sure to recon
nect each to its proper spark
plug. Check all gas fittings
and fuel lines for damage or
loose connections. Apply a
drop of motor oil to the con
trol linkage joints, levers,
bushings and all exposed mov
ing parts beneath the cowl.
Renew spark plugs, or, if
recently replaced, check gaps
and set to the manufacturer's
specifications. Clean the fuel
filters, inspect the starter rope
for damage or deterioration.
Grease Filling'
A grease fitting, located un
der the swivel bracket, is
often missed or forgotten. A
Boat Cover More
Than Pays Itself
A boat cover, whether made
of canvas or plastic, more than
pays for itself.
Some covers are made to
protect only the cockpit while
others cover the entire upper
surface.
Covers should not be so
loose that they can flap nor
too tight so that they prevent
circulation of air.
A cover is used to shade in
teriors from hot sun and to
keep out dirt and moisture. It
also is a deterrent to prowl
ers, both human and animal.
good - quality marine grease
should be applied to this fit
ting. Lubricate the gearshift
cam with a brush. Special at
tention is required for the low
er unit and its various parts.
After removing the air vent
screw, the grease filler plug
should be opened and a ma
rine gear lubricant should be
inserted in the filler plug hole
until it starts to emit from the
air vent screw hole, indicat
ing that the gear housing is
filled. Before replacing the air
vent screw and the grease fill
er plug, make sure the gasket
under the screw head is in
place, otherwise water- may
leak past the threads into the
gear housing.
Remove the propeller and
inspect it. Trim nicks and
burrs with a file; however,
when performing this opera
tion be careful not to remove
more metal than is absolutely
necessary. In addition, inspect
for cracks, damage or a bent
condition. Before the propel
ler is reinstalled, lubricate the
propeller shaft with water
proof grease.
Remote Controls
If remote controls are
used, check the parts and
operation. The majority of to
day's outboard motors are sold
with remote fuel tanks, which
also require periodic inspec
tion. Check the entire tank
and its fittings for loose, dam
aged or missing parts. Inspect
for leakage around all parts
on integral tanks as well as
on remote tanks. Also check
the fuel line and the twist
connector for damage.
