The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
a search for props for his application shows two different propshafts.... 13 and 15 spline... the 2.3 used the 13 spline which has NO props available with anywhere near the pitch that would be needed..... his 4.3 is the 15 spline which is a bit more universal, and more available with exotic...
Ok, you are gonna run into a BIG problem with that... up until 1990 the 2.3 used a 13 spline propshaft, which you CANNOT get with enough pitch to work with the engine and drive ratio.... your 1992 drive uses a 15 spline propshaft..... you are gonna have to find a different donor drive...
as...
your question requires more information to accurately answer..... and the answer is "maybe"
year matters... if you have a "late" cobra, say 1995 or newer, its actually closer to a Volvo SX, look at those for a "new" drive.... if its earlier, then you can proceed to second question, as IIRC only...
I had already pulled the bellows and bellhousing for access. I have large hands, and being able to see what I am doing is a plus. I cannot see how you would be able to use the "nuclear option" without pulling those parts... Plus it keeps the shavings out of the bellows.....
The puller you show should work, unless it’s REALLY stuck…. The one I did last year had been in there since 1980, and BROKE two of the axle pullers…. I ended up having to remove the gimballing “eye” and cutting the aluminum outer housing with a dremel……
Read this thread here from 2014, and it seems concise. just want to check and see if anything was missing.....

mine is also a 1995, so should be the same.
Looks like drain the engine using the block drains...
Ill be parking the Four Winns after today... We ran it down on fuel (to an estimated 1/4 tank or so) today and had a great time on the lake with it.... we have the Galaxy for the next couple of weeks here that still has a bit of fuel in it to burn off....
Next weekend, Ill go through and...
Lake test 100% successful. Ran great once it hit the water, no further adjustments needed. Now I will actually buy a battery that fits (not the spare Harley battery with an Amazon envelope over the top for an insulator). Its not the prettiest, its not the fastest, but it was a hell of a lot of...
well, the SLT is ready for a water test. Installed the carbs and finished up the loose ends on it this morning, save for installing new trailer lights. Looks very good for heading to the lake tomorrow morning for water tuning and final testing.... Not too shabby for a "free" ski that I have so...
I’ll second this. After slinging WAY too many direct drive Delco’s on cars, and doing it once on my 2.5, the PMGR on my 4.3 was a JOY by comparison. Stronger, lighter and smaller… all good things
No ethanol free here either. Same engine, just a 1980 vintage… runs fine on pump gas 87, and I add a dash of stabil at each fill up and pump the tank dry end of season.
nooooo. there is still a ton of intramuscular fat in the pork. I just take a good bit of the rendered fat from the drippings and decide how much goes back on.....
Dinner was deeeelicious. Had the pulled pork served with its own jus (I got a fat separator for that) and a cucumber salad. Total cook time was around 7.5 hrs for the pair of them. Love this Traeger, set it and forget it so you can do other things like sew new bow seat covers…..threw in a...
this exactly.... SOMETHING was causing the drive to be stiff.... At the very least, pull the plugs and drain the oil for an inspection. I would also be at the very least pulling the top cap and taking a look at what I can see... Changing a coupler isnt so much fun that I would want to be doing...
nope. Doesnt add anything to the dish except some aesthetics... since its for my own consumption, and I didnt have any on hand, I omitted the stuff....
well, a couple of weeks ago I had a few spare minutes, and decided to see what is up with the one ski that is in the better condition. Did a compression check on it, and came up with good pressure on all three holes, so feeling a bit froggy at this point, I stuck a fresh motorcycle battery in...
