    transom leak

    yes, I did see this but the washers I have in the bag ( I try to seperate things so they are in groups to go back together), I have a washer that will go over the smooth part of the top of the shaft of the pin but will not go over the threads (like for 15) and then I have one that looks like it...

    transom leak

    ok, messing around with the steering pin a bit before I try to put it all together and that looks to really be a challenge sliding the pin up, getting the washer over the square part of the pit, through the arm and then a nut and washer on top of that? I assume washer #13 slides down over the...

    speedo tubing

    getting the gimbal back together, long story but I need to replace the tubing from where it attaches to the foot up to the out side of the gimbal housing. The part that goes through from the inside, the barb does not protrude out the back side for the hose, looks like the hole is just big enough...

    tolerance ring

    So, as I purchased my parts for my transom rebuild, I meant to order a new ring that goes inside the bellows right there at the bell housing. In stead, not thinking clearly, ordered a part called a tolerance ring. At first, thought they shipped the wrong part but looking at the parts manual, may...

    transom leak

    so this sucks! I got the new mercathode unit as the old one I could not find anywhere...so I purchased the up graded new version. Only problem, the mounting holes for to the manifold do not line up! What is up with this! The holes in the manifile at 9 and 3 o'clock are the mounting holes for the...

    transom leak

    manifold looks fine..here is my mercathode and seal...looks a little different than what the book shows, assume they are the same and since I'm replacing it not a concern...guess also would not hurt to put some sealant on that rascal as well...don't know that it was leaking through but obvious...

    Transom Rebuild.

    Steering Pin So, I have my gimbal 100% apart and separate except for the bearing which has just been replaced in this process. On the steering pin...replace or not? The seal on it had deteriorated some and there is a slight pitting right at the bottom on the pin. Another 100 bucks....

    Testing Trim Sensors

    Dodge- are you accounting for the fact I'm holding these in my hand and they are not hooked up to anything? I'm not sure that my gauge is working...when I set it on continuity, should it go to 1? When I set it on the 20K Ohm, it really does not do anything...and then it starts running up and...

    transom leak

    Thanks Rick, I will look into that...here are some pictures around the gimbal that I'm working with. the main rust was at the bottom, two lower studs and a little up the right side. Also, around the water tube is a little corroded but other than that, really not anything to speak up. Shot there...

    Transom Rebuild.

    while the transom is apart, was looking at the steering pin seal...looking at parts, see an upper and lower washer but do not see a seal...and that pin is $300.00 to replace it, made of gold? Platinum?? Geesh!

    Testing Trim Sensors

    In a "second" phase of a gimbal restoration as I would now call it...I had done my bellows on my Bravo III and put back together. My trim worked fine before I pulled it apart to do the bellows but when I re installed, the trim went up and down fine but I had to register on my gauge and it did...

    getting bolts free...

    Thought I'd put this in restoration because that's what I feel like I'm doing to my transom assy. I had to remove it to resolve a leak, but, in the process I had to cut the Y pipes off so I could pull whats left through the K hole. The four bolts that hold it in place are in there, just no...

    Risers on closed cooling system

    OK- I'm confused then....I have one hose to the elbow and one hose to the riser and I have a gasket with both passages blocked- not questioning your knowledge as I have zip, just want to make sure I get the right parts!

    lower unit reservoir

    So, fixing the stuff I screwed up taking my motor out...I noticed the reservoir had some grud in the bottom of it when it drained out so I saw what looked like a nut on the bottom of it- figured I'd unscrew it and clean it out. Bad move. Something broke and now it leaks. Never did come apart...

    transom leak

    Well, to late now! The reciprocating saw actually cut through those pipes fairly quickly. I bought one at the old harbor freight. Guess the cheap tools from China will stop following so good I got one now! Tried some "diamond" blades for metal but the 14 TPI for heavy metal actually did pretty...
