Six Pack

[Woody38]

Not 4 carbs. Difficult to place 4 carbs on the intake manifold. That would be 8, not 6. You can check out 6 packs on some classic cars, mainly Chevy's or Dodge and Plymouth. Then there was the ram induction with 2 quads.
Nice to run 3 2-barrels running all together running all the time.

Where is the "six pack" located? (Asking for my prop)

My props thank you!

Looking at the chart on Navionics I see nothing to hit there.

Is my chart wrong?

Are the markers misplaced?

Was it an unseen U-boat that was hit?

I think this is the cause. The OP posted the below message. Don't forget the prop/lower unit is about 18 to 24 inches below where transducers are typically located on the transom for depth readings.

28’ I/O with 3 passengers @ 15 mph so I had a deeper draft going…for sure

[8gv]

So how deep would the prop be in that circumstance?

Granted, I have not been there to run a depth sounder but the chart I am looking at shows 8'.

8' becomes 7' if the water is low.

The boat might draw 3'-4'.

Another 2' for the drive gets it to 5' or 6'.

Plow the boat and you get maybe 7'?

Go check the area out yourself when you get a chance. Some of those rocks at least to me seem allot closer to the surface that the chart says especially this time of year and later.

I shall do so if you lend me a prop set...

There is a rock there, no doubt, based on my prop damage. I was heading toward the Bridge, there were two boats approaching, so I was to the right of the channel, well inside the red markers. I use Navionics on my chart which shows 8-9 ft. Just after the hit, I checked my depth finder, it read 6.5. Yes water levels are below average for this time of year. IÂ’ve been through there dozens of times over many years on the lake, completely caught by surprise. My bad, I guess, but this area needs markers adjusted IMO. Just be aware, it is a hazardous area inside those channel markers

I don't go over that way at all, but if it is that bad inside the channel, I guess outside of it is much worse, (not navigable?)
