Ron- Thanks for the advice; I didn’t think it was possible for the balancer to move. I will verify next time I change the plugs. But first an update...I've been reading a lot of threads on this site and it always came back to the ignition coil. Currently running a Mallory Voltmaster that specs out O...

Patrick, I think the reason you dont find much information on the shaft/bearings is because this is where different engine manufacturers models adapted to the drive. Although the variations are extensive the basic assembly is the same. It's been several years but I remember removing the oil seal fir...

Dustoff- I just read through your post and would like to offer my 2c if I may. I've removed my 350GLV several times for various reasons...rotted plywood in transom, rotted oil pan and replacement of bearings in intermediate housing. I noticed that you left the intermediate housing attached to the tr...

Oldshore- Cheer up! You've just picked up one of the best off-shore sport boats ever built. I also own a 1977 that has spent about half its life in fresh water and the rest in salt. We've had her in some pretty big water without a problem, always safe and comfortable. Still running the original 350 ...

Teak Interior Formica Panels

I was wondering if anyone has a source for the Formica panels used in the later Commanders as well as other models including my 1977 Lancer? They were typically used as bulkheads. In some newer boats they were white, but I'm looking for the wood tone product. The lower side panels in my cockpit are ...

I have a 1977 23 Lancer with the original 350 GLV and it is white.

The engine has Marine Power plates not Chris Craft.

I have had the engine out several times and am sure that it was white from the factory.

There is a Quaker Fabric Co in Massachusetts. They may be the original manufacturers. I believe they are still in operation.

Thanks for the replies. It is a GLV not a QLV like I had in my past 19' Lancer. Sorry if I didnt make that clear. Actually, it isnt branded as a Chris Craft engine. It's a Marine Power. There are no dimples in the flywheel to view as it is aft. There is an automotive type scale with increments eithe...

23 Lancer w/350 GLV

Hello all, Proud owner of a 1977 Lancer with original power and drive. Great boat for many reasons however I am having a couple of nagging problems that I thought I would share with you to see if others experience the same. The first has to do with engine timing. My manual calls for 4 deg BTDC using...
