    Trim Bonding Cable

    Thanks Kenny for the response. The OMC manual I have shows a couple different examples which were vague especially in the last picture. Looks like it goes under the trim cylinder cover (PO had it that way,) which didn't make sense to me till I found the other diagram which shows them under the...

    Trim Bonding Cable

    I'm about ready to install my transom assembly and wanted to ask if someone would be so kind as to take pictures of theirs so I can make the connections correctly. Thanks 😊

    2.3 cobra shift problem now...?

    From my work on my 2.3 the shifting issue won't affect your impellers because the impeller spins wherever the engine is running and is not connected to your shifting mechanism. What cable adapters are you referring to? The picture I posted shows where your shift cable adjuster is (right) and...

    Help.......

    Hi there 😊 I'm not overly familiar with boats of that vintage bit is there any HIN numbers stamped in the hull anywhere or tags affixed? On my 88 the numbers are stamped starboard side of the stern on the outside. Maybe Search the internet for pictures of what he said it is and go from there but...

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    Good morning, I attached the transom seal after a failed attempt earlier. Because it isn't molded to the shape of the Seal area I put some sealant every couple of inches and secured it with painters tape to hold it in place while the sealant sets up enough to get it installed, I've had it...

    I wanted to pass along some information I learned today as far as the piece pictured. This is located on the inside below the transom plate and if it appears bent or deformed in any way ( especially by the bolt holes) it's a sign of a rotted transom. OMC and Volvo/Penta have the but unsure of...

    I'm starting the cleanup, painting of the outdrive components. The transom plate came out nice and will work on the upper drive unit tomorrow. If I can paint enough of everything I'll pretend I have an alpha unit 🤣

    I cleaned the front upholstery and middle seats and came out better than expected. I have to work on the seat fitment with Bayliners awesome setup....um no. Gave her a complete bath also and even the blue came out a bit. I know may be a bit early with still needing to install the mechanicals...

    The gelcoat is finished. I touched everything under the dash that was wood related. Damn it's brilliant lol.

    I pulled the walk through interior so I could seal the wood underneath and I'm glad I did. It will be gelcoated like everything else. I don't think there is much else I can do in this area.

    1989 2.3l TKO. What does "TKO" mean?

    The only term that comes to mind is "total knock out". Not sure if that is correct though.

    I unfortunately have to take another break from her but for a great reason this time being my youngest daughter is getting married.! I have my lists made and am at least window shopping at the moment 🙃😅. I want to go over the engine again since the poor thing has been collecting dust for 2 years.

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    Pulling the hull helped some but the issue that created the biggest problem was that the shelves under the consoles had rotted and didn't realize it till after everything was set. What I eventually did was get the windshield assembly straight as mush as I could by jacking them up and getting...

    Well I backed as much of her in the garage as I could with the rain but I have all the glass finished. Ground out the cracks on the gelcoat for the transom and will be using the fairing putty on it and the floor today. I hope to put the non-wax gelcoat on the bilge area today.

    Really no cooperation from the weather last week and this upcoming week to do any glassing between the deluge of rain a couple of days ago and the up to 3 inches they're expecting starting this afternoon. There has been this issue with the misaligned windshield that has annoyed me since day one...
