    Figured it out this evening. The cable was out of position on the drive. It had apparently jumped out of place when I put on the lower unit. Pulled off the drive and put it back in position and readjusted. Seems to work smoothly now.

    Got the manifolds swapped out yesterday afternoon / evening. Only a couple of things to reconnect. I do need to get some 1" hose to replace a couple on the cooling system. I was having fits getting the sifter cables adjusted. It currently seems to be adjusted properly, but the drive won't...

    My bellows replacement parts came in today; so, I pulled the drive and removed the gimbal. Old exhaust bellows had one hole. Shift bellows was very bad. Drive shaft /gimbal bellows was still solid, but very stiff. Also noted that the water hose was kinked. While I had it apart, I could tell...

    Well, maybe some good news. Block seems to be holding air pressure. Even turned the crank a half turn to move the pistons in the cylinders. No sound of air coming out inside the engine. Guess the only way to know for sure is to run it and check the oil again.

    Looking at the engine to see the extent of the freeze damage. I know I have a cracked exhaust manifold which was obvious from the drip when running. However, now that it has sat a bit here at the house, it looks like I may have water in the oil. This weekend, I'm going to try to pressure...

    Water in Engine

    Not trying to hijack this thread, but while I was working on my boat with the engine out I ran into a freezing problem this winter. I never even thought that any water would still be in the engine after I removed it . . . boat fail. Anyway, I know that I have a cracked exhaust manifold and...

    Well, some good and some bad. First the good. Launched her to do some check-out this morning. When I unloaded her, and opened up the engine compartment, i could hear water running in. Once I lowered the outdrive, it stopped. Upon inspection this afternoon . . . Yep . . . Shifter bellows...

    It has been a bit since my last post. I have been continuing to work on the boat, just not a lot of stuff to post about. Finished up the electrical this week and installed all of the side panels. This morning I installed the fuel lines and screwed on engine enclosure and cover. Then, this...

    How do I fix this ladder?

    I am sure others will chime in and I am not gonna focus on the transom damage (possible rot) even though I would certainly be checking it. How I would approach the repair would be: Remove the ladder completely. Remove any damaged materials both inside and outside the hull. Fill the holes...

    While sorting out the wiring last weekend, i found that the trim sensor and limit switch wires were toast. The insulation was just crumbling off and one of the wires was broken by the limit switch. I promptly ordered new ones and received them this week. I also did some reading up and found a...

    Making a marathon for the Memorial Day weekend to push toward completion. Since my last post, I finished up the trim panels with sanding and put a layer of CSM on front and back yesterday and this morning. I also put the first layer of gelcoat on the decks and spread the sand for...

    Great progress today. Got the deck glass all down and hardening. Will trim edges and sand next. That leaves the only glass left to do is the trim panels. Then it will be time for gelcoating it all.

    Plywood floor replacement...Questions

    Agreed. The biggest issue I had with the multi-tool is that you have to get good blades. The fiberglass works on them quickly to dull.

    I cut mine close with a sawzall and/or oscillating multitool cutter and then ground the rest away down to the hull.
