    I was worried that the relief valve was catching, so I took the entire thing out.. same result.. What is item # 56 in the diagram? Is that maybe another pin that needs to come out?

    Tilt Trim unit won't come out

    That one is different than mine. I don't have that large pin at the bottom (looks like it is the same width as the top pin). And his doesn't have the 6 bolts with the 9/16 head. But thank you! My tilt/trim motor has 3 screws too.. his has 4

    Tilt Trim unit won't come out

    On my model year, is there another pivot pin besides the large one that goes through the top ram? Maybe one that is somewhere in between the 9/16" bolts? I've seen other models that have a large pin on the bottom, I thought that mine only had the 6 bolts

    Hi Everyone, 1996 Evinrude 112 spl. The the engine is not warmed up yet, it performs perfectly. Once warmed up, it doesn't have the proper power, takes a while to get on a plane, I have to give it full throttle and it still lacks power. Since it performs fine prior to being warmed up, I'm...

    Mercruiser Alpha One Shift Shaft not mating properly

    Hi Everyone, Mercruiser Alpha One (gen 1). I am in the process of replacing my outdrive with a used one. I took the used outdrive apart and replaced the impeller while I had it off of the boat (so I did split the drive in half). I installed the outdrive and now the Upper Shift Shaft and...

    Re: 1997 Sea Ray 175 Hey all, I just wanted to update with some progress that I made over the weekend. The steering in the project boat was some sort of a rack steering and was frozen up, so I just moved the entire steering system from the donor boat to the project boat, cable, helm, and...

    Hi everyone, I'm transferring my complete engine package from one boat to another and when removing the lower anode bolts in the transom plate, they both broke. Are these bolts made of aluminum? I do not store this boat in the water, when I replace them, do I have to replace them with the...

    1997 Sea Ray 175

    Re: 1997 Sea Ray 175 Ok, here is my makeshift engine hoist. My plan was to spend the least amount of money as possible, but still be able to get the engine out. I really don't think that I would recommend doing this, but it worked great and was more sturdy than it looks. I did something like...
