Ron, Thank you for the info. I contacted Great Lakes and they were very helpful. HF-7 is a bit older than the P-31. Same internals. Same power capacity. Parts availability is a bit better for the P-31, and they have some parts and will sell to the public. Thanks again. Tom PS I searched the club web...

Does anyone know what the difference is between a HF7D-R and a P-31-R?
Both are 1:1 and right hand rotation.
Both came off CC 327 F.
The only difference I see is the ski pole mounts easier to the HF7D-R
Any help would be great.

A quick check to see if the distributor is advancing. Remove the cap and see of the rotor will rotate and spring back, if not the distributor is not advancing.

How do you wire the switches for separate navigation and anchor lights.
See photo.
Thanks Tom

Here are some photos:
PVC and camp stove and turkey roaster forward 1/3
Insulated foam with duct tape with clam/corn steamer for the transom planks 12" plus in width.
Both got the internal temp over 212F

Jim, I will give everyone a good laugh. Years of camping taught me that a propane camp stove boils water really fast. A two burner propane camp stove with a large turkey roasting pan covers both burners. I cut a hole the the lid of the roasting pan (know one uses the lid) at least that is what I tol...

Don't be surprised if you have to steam bend the forward part of the sheer batten to get it to lay right. I had to on my 24' Chris.
Compound bend and twist.

1935

I'm looking for the same drawings, I agree lots of info but not for the 327F.

The fuel may be getting past the seal at the top of the accelerator pump (brass radius / cast Iron C'bore).
My 2 cents.

Not sure if this is what you need.
Tom

You could remove the dis. cap, then rotate the rotor see if it moves and if it "springs back", That will tell you if the dis. is advancing.
My two cents.

Fuel pump leaking into the block thinning out the oil? Friend had the same issue.
What weight oil are you using?

6 volt horn relay

Thanks Jim, I ordered a box!!
Tom

I'm 1/2 done with my wiring and ran out of these staples.
Does anyone have some like the photos they would be willing to sell me?
Let me know.
Thanks
Tom

Thinking about replacing my Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3 with locking rear differential 2 wheel drive pick up. For the last 10 years I have launched /towed my 21' glass inboard (4000 lbs) with no problems. Hoping to finish my 1928 24' flat deck triple (5000 lbs) in the next few years. The question is do...

Thank you both for your reply. I will be using a relay.
Mike, I attached a scan to my original post from CC. I should have stated that CC used a relay in 1935 (not started to use).
Tom

Working on the electrical system on my 1928 CC 24' runabout. My boat did not come with a horn relay. I'm very concerned about safety. The original horn draws 25 ish amps. If I add the relay would it come under the safety issue in judging? Also I have fond an vintage NOS all black battery disconnect....

Please post a photo of the engine to see if it is a Chrysler Marine Engine?
If it is the are two colors early green/grey later different green /gray.
photo is 1928

Did you try
Northeast Machine & Motor Supply in Tonawanda NY ?

R&J Metal finishing Depew NY for anodizing.
Tom

When I removed my originals there was plating, most likely nickel like the rest of the hardware. Your hardware was probably chrome, along with the screws.
Tom

If my memory is correct, my 1928 has #6 oval head slot screws. yours may be chrome plated.
My 2 cents.
Tom

Thank You!

Mike,
No plating at all?? Nickel or Chrome?
Tom

He advertises on the Chris Craft Club site. Talks about spring units. I have not used his service.
