Nobody’s mentioning clkwise or anti clockwise in comments.. Whats a good place to start at for the L screw ? H screw was straight forward per video..

That engine looks a bit overkill for that size of boat.

great helped me a lot thanks

The sound 😍

We've gotta identical 1983 Glastron CVX16 in Lake Neppessing in Lapeer Michigan. It was a barn find in 2023 out South Dakota in showroom confirm. GREAT VIDEO

I used to own one in the late 80s. Mine was silver too but it had a Mercury 115 on it.

Gas is for losers. Diesel is like mineral-based testosterone.

i like the rearview mirror

I picked one of these es-210 blowers up off of a trash pile in my neighborhood around 10yrs ago. Put fresh gas, started and ran perfectly second pull. I just now had to overhaul the carb and fuel lines and it runs great again. It still has excellent compression I cannot believe how durable these older echo engines are.

*_... let's see that Emeffer go!!!_*

Replace the pin with. A bolt and nylon nut

S means air filled front tires. P mean non pneumatic front tires.

How fast did it go with the 115 on it?

Can you do one showing the air filter replacement. This looks like the model I have.

Just a hint wipe off the zerk fittings before you grease them , if you don't the dirt that gets on these fittings will be pushed in to the joints when you grease them with the grease gun .

Id have a stereo playing some Judas Priest in there for sure

I love watching this. Nice boat!

JUST BOUGHT 1974 GT 150 85 MERCURY, BOAT EXCEPTIONAL SHAPE FOR A 50 YEAR OLD BOAT LOVE IE EVERY THING WORKS FAST AS HELL, TOY, BOAT.

GIDDY UP GO ON A VINTAGE GLASTRON, BOGGY BABY, ROCK ON.

Worked like a charm. Thanks

Love those classic Glastron's. Nice Boat.

I love your videos. What year is this 326? Do you still have it, and still working well? I'm looking at a 2007 right now.

Damn good lookin boat! Love that sparkle.

I know this is an old post but maybe this will help someone. My 2001 ZD21 has all of those fittings and more . Front deck strut arms has one on both sides at the mowers frame and the transmission control levers have one on each side in the shaft they are mounted on (under the seat) my mower is old so these fittings may not be on the newer machines. It's worth a look.

Amazing that NOBODY will show how the throttle linkage connects back in.

I have an 08 with 1000 non commercial hours. I run covers off until fall.

Can you tell me what prop size and pitch you use with the 150 on the cvx16?

That’s nuts. I had a CVX 16. They’re rated for a 90hp max. I had a 120 on mine and !it would fly. That engine puts it in another league

New sub here. Great content. Much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤

VERI VERI NAJS.

Such a nice boat and great engine. Wondering if Evinrude/Johnson will arise from the ashes one day.

The front anti-scalp wheels snap ring pin kept falling out on mine so I replaced them with bolts and double nutted them. Never had one fall off again. The center anti- scalp double wheels will get gummed up and stick to the bolt, causing the bolt to spin in the hole and wear the bolt and hole out. I welded some rod to the head of the bolt. This rod goes rearward and bends 90 degrees which then goes through a hole in the mount. No more spinning bolt to wear out.

23 psi in the front tires, 17 psi in the rear tires helps make the cuts better. The deck height adjuster by your right hand can over time and vibration settle lower so the grass is cutting lower than you want. I drilled a hole in the adjuster gear and frame, dropped a pin in the hole so the adjuster cannot move.

When you crank up the front end the jack screw threads need to be lubed. Knock off the plastic cover, it's not needed. Oil the threads when the front is cranked all the way up. It makes it easier to crank by quite a bit.

Recently blew the gearbox on by zd331. While looking at the parts computer at the dealer I noticed that a dipstick retrofit kit is available for the gearbox. Gearbox is $1550.

Hello, what prop are you using?

What prop pitch and diameter are used in this video?

Way too much motor.

To find one for sale from an individual like yourself is pure luck.

I've got ZD326 Kubota and it's been leaving a mess in the center. The last time I was on it the little candle lit (most people have a bulb) and I thought... did I put the center blade on wrong? I'll check blades this afternoon. I searched KZbin college and found this channel. I'll be back. <edit? The blades are just very dull

I bought a 79 CVX16 with a 100hp Merc. Running good. For $1700 about 11 yrs ago. It needed new gel coat or compound buffing and minimal interior work. I Just used it for a couple summers pulling my kids knee boarding. Ive owned probably 15 boats in my life and the Glastron Carlson was the best handling funnest and CHEAPEST boat ive ever owned and i wish every summer I still had it

Great review! I'm hoping to get mine soon.

Wish my Kubota zd18 had that hinged floor plate above my gear box

I put my blades on upside down and all summer, i took them off to sharpen for this summer and i looked hard and realized they are upside down, they did cut fine but now they cut beautiful, i couldn’t believe i done that either, i guess im getting old or something😂 the zd326 is the best mower, hands down.

Don't feel too bad, I installed the blades on my ZG upside-down too. Now, before I install new blades, I write on each blade "UP" and "DOWN"

how did you get that grommet on? I am having trouble getting it to go in.

What a crazy and hard way to do it. That bolt on the top is the fill hole. All you had to do was remove it with a 15mm or 17mm wrench to extract the gear oil and re-fill it.

As a water kid growing up in the 50s and 60s, the best thing about this era was affordability.

Are those blade bolts rh thread or lh threat?

you missed the front center pivot fitting / you almost have stand on your head to greese it
