First off, I'm not talking about replacing the rear plastic housing and rubber impeller. Those kits are all over the place and I've already done that. What I'm asking about is the actual front part with the shaft, pulley and bearings. The front seal behind the pulley had gone bad and I didn't...
The boat is a 1989 Sea Ray Sundancer with newer 350s (260hp) and bravo out drives. Not sure on the year of the engines, but supposedly from 2005. They're still carb'd, however they have serpentine belt and electric fuel pump and look the same as
1st problem: The starboard engine won't shut off...
I've seen a few older trailers with this on the front of it vs the normal stand and winch and never figured it out. now i've got one and will have to figure out how to use it or convert it to the traditional winch stand/bow roller like most trailers have.
I have a chance to buy a 2007 mercury 50 hp with controls and I would like to get some opinions on the motor as far as reliability and what it's worth. The hours are unknown but my guess would be 4-500. I am told it runs good, and was used on a zodiac type boat.
There is a sticker that reads...
i have a 1978 Johnson 85hp motor that has a slight hickup/misfire while at idle speed, but I can throttle up and while driving it will never show itself, but once it's back down to the low rpms of idling it has a hickup where it's a momentary non fire or mis-fire. Caused it to stall once on me...
I've only got 30 min for lunch now and then I have one day off tomorrow and I was wondering if I could get some info on changing the drive bellow. I've heard it's not bad, but I seem to think I saw a tread with pictures on it somewhere and now I can't find it.
I've already ordered the bellow...
I've got a tiny leak from the transom plate on my 280 outdrive. I don't want to take the entire thing off to replace the gasket. Is there a type of sealant like caulk I could apply to to the outside to solve the problem?
I just realized that the volvo 280 lower unit doesn't have an impeller, it's on the engine. I noticed my motor running warm the other day while at idle, and i figured it would be a good idea to change the impeller. Now is where i run into a problem. My motor was replaced by the p/o with a...
I have a 280pt sterndrive with non power steering. It is very hard to turn the wheel left or right, and I know it is not a cable or helm problem (already replaced) It was tough to move the drive left or right when the steering cable wasn't hooked up. Other than putting grease on the end of the...
I have a suzuki 25hp, not sure of the year but I would guess sometime in the 80's. I was told by the previous owner that it needs a new cdi box and that's all. I've looked but not been able to find one and was wondering if anybody has any idea to look at
my boat has a garmin gps17-hvs antenna on it and I was wondering which gps units will work with this antenna. Since it's already installed nicely and wired in, I would like to be able to find something that will work with it.
I have a 350 with a volvo 280pt outdrive in a 79 formula 233. The steering cable needs replaced and I have never done this before. I'm assuming I need to pull the existing cable to be able to match it up to a new one, but without the new cable to look at I don't quite know how to do it.I can see...
I need to replace the steering cable and I was wondering how to figure out what I need. are all steering cables are the same, with the difference being in length? If it makes a difference i have a 280pt outdrive and this is how the steering looks on the inside.
I have a 280 pt that I just noticed had a crack in the bellow for the drive shaft. I have searched, but all i have found is people saying the whole outdrive doesn't have to come off, and that there is a thread or write up somewhere.
I need to figure out if this is something I can do or do I...
I have a 280PT outdrive that I just replaced a hose on that feeds one of the hydraulic trim cylinders. How do I fill and bleed the system? I haven't been able to spot reservoir yet either.
