I have a quick question. How do I go about removing the throttle/shifter from the side panel? I know on my Evinrude, there is a allen screw on the back side that you remove so you can get the handle off. I do not see that here. I already have the side panel removed, just wondering how to get...
My 11 year old daughter has been granted a wish from the Make a Wish Foundation. Apparently, she has been watching a little to much TV. At this time, she says that she wants to rent a house boat and ski boat on Lake Powell for a week. That sounds pretty good to us because we are all about the...
Does anyone know where I could find one or the best way to build a kneepad for the Hydroslide Magna. I bought this board new back in '85. It was pretty much a flat piece of foam about 1/2" thick. I pulled it out of its slumber in the attic for the kids to ride and the kneepad is hard. My...
For those of us that are neck deep in a transom rebuild, this is about the best documentation that I have found online to replace the transom. Although it's from another website ( www.clubsearay.com ), I think it would make a good sticky on here for those of us doing a full blown transom job...
I need to remove the inner and outer gimble housing (Mercruiser) from my boat so I can replace the transom. I have the outdrive off and now I need to remove the rest of the outdrive components. Is there a certain order of steps to follow to get everything out? It looks like the bellows need...
I saw the links to the Mercruiser service manuals, but I was wondering if there is a link somewhere for a factory "parts" manual? I have a '93 5.0LX with the Alpha 1 Gen 2 outdrive. Thanks, Steven
I am restoring a 1993 Sea Ray 200 BR and need to pull the engine to access the floor better. With all of the interior and bulkhead in front of the engine gone, can the engine be move forward enough to clear the drive shaft and removed without pulling the outdrive? I would like to leave the...
My lower shift cable (engine to outdrive) is froze up. How do I go about replacing it if I can not put the outdrive in forward gear before removing the outdrive? Thanks, Steven
I just purchased a project Sea Ray with a Mercruiser outdrive. Actually, it's a SE-116 (Sterndrive Engineering). I was finally able to get the motor cranked yesterday and I noticed water dripping out of the cable end on top of the engine. The cable appears to be froze up and will need to be...
I guess I will introduce myself first. My name is Steven and I live in Angleton, Texas (35 miles south of Houston). I have been married to my beautiful bride for 18 years now and have been blessed with two wonderful (most of the time) kids (8 and 11) and I enjoy the great outdoors (fishing...
