    Engine cooling water in tube bigger than gimbal housng tube

    Appreciate all the input. After reviewing it the bushing listed way above is the one that seals the tube in the gimbal housing.

    Engine cooling water in tube bigger than gimbal housng tube

    Well the hose was removed 3 years ago lol. I did a full gut and restore on the boat. Rebuilt the entire engine and gimbal assembly. I'll look around on schematics again too see if I missed something.

    Engine cooling water in tube bigger than gimbal housng tube

    Trying to figure out why it's bigger. When I rebuilt the motor I left the power steering heat exchanger all hooked up. So I know it's the hose that came off at that location. I have no idea if it was rigged up by PO with a smaller tube i side and a hose clamp or if I am missing a part.

    Engine cooling water in tube bigger than gimbal housng tube

    1989 mercruiser alpha one gen 1 5.0. hooking the engine up and the water inlet tube (from transom to power steering heat exchanger) is a lot bigger than the white tube that comes through the gimbal housing. Am I missing a part?

    Don't know the year of the Yamaha, but it was a 70 4 stroke. Wanna say 2015+. Another Yamaha fl115 2019 And a mercury pro xs150 2021 Only one I looked at I'm depth was the Yamaha 70 and it has cables going to the motor for throttle and shift

    Looking for smoother throttle

    Do you think that 5" tight spot might be hanging it up a bit? I think it's still a pretty wide turn but I'm no expert I just play with boats. I got teleflex cables when I bought the boat, they've felt the same since I put them on last year. Next time I replace cables I'll make sure they don't...

    Looking for smoother throttle

    No, I made sure everything was run pretty smooth and clean. I think the tightest bend I have is 5" radius where the cables drop down from the console then across the floor.

    Looking for smoother throttle

    This is the kind of remote control I have. Don't have any pics on my phone of my boat. It has a tension adjustment but I have it all the way out.

    Looking for smoother throttle

    I just finished up fixing up a year's worth of hard use on my fishing boat this month, including some nice upgrades. I have a little bit of available cash left over and I'm trying to figure out what I need to do for the super smooth throttle control. '99 Merc 90 HP with remote control side mount...

    Help mounting Garmin GT54 transducer

    The other transducer is skewed, but I never really cared because I only used it for a depth and structure general idea. I don't want to do that with this one though. I just measured and I have 1" between the prop radius and where the transducer would be on the outer edge of the transom.

    Help mounting Garmin GT54 transducer

    After using the old humminbird helix 5 for over 5 years now, I finally upgraded to a Garmin 93SV with a GT54 transducer. I am having a hard time figuring a place to put it. Everything I've read tells me basically no where. I've got 2x6 bunks that I just installed, a trolling motor, the outboard...
