Re: 1981 "SpaceCraft Boat Works, Miami FL" 23.33ft 4100lb V240 Super Sport
I'll have a couple more vids up, my "new" fuel sender unfortunatly doesn't read properly and shows a little less than half a tank even when it was dry lol. I swear I installed it right....
Got the "new to me" outdrive installed, replaced all the ball gears and had major steering problems with the worm gear just binding.
Come to find out it was the steering gear protruding from the intermediate housing that was damaged. One of the teeth was mangled enough from a piece of the ball gear getting stuck in there, that it couldn't mesh and turn.
Had to switch that out and replaced the whole worm gear / stearing shaft in the housing while I Was at it just in case it was warped.
Was out saturday night from like 4pm till midnight. Was fine till I ran out of gas, but 175$ / 38gallons later I was 3/4ths again so
