Chris Craft Commander

[Sean Shoemaker]

Thansk to Dave’s insight that the Bendix points were / are still used on aircraft engines I was able to locate a set and they are on their way. With any luck I will find the cowls, tiller arm, and lower unit parts and get this thing running.

Now that the weather is just starting to warm up here in Wisconsin I would like to get back to this project.  I was able to acquire the points and handle for this. (Thanks everyone)  I would like to get the coils and impeller figured out.  If there is a member that would be willing to show what is behind the prop to see what I am missing.    I’m guessing an aluminum disc to cover the impeller that is held in place by a retaining spring, the impeller , and a key?

 

I did find the military surplus coils for this but I never did order them.  Unfortunately I lost my info/source on what the correct numbers are and where to order them.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Thanks for the pics, guys.  I think I can figure out the coils.

 

However I have further questions about the impeller cover.  I see a center raised section.  Is this a housing for a seal?  Is the center bore oversized to clear the prop shaft and the impeller is peeking thru the hole?

Just for further clarification all I have to go on is this low resolution small sized black and white image for the parts I am missing between the prop and waterpump housing.  I would like to find another Commander for parts but the nearest one I’ve found so far is 8 hours away and 900.00.    Due to the rarity  I may have to have them machined .  But  this is hard to do without proper images / dimensions.
