On mine the drive unbolted as a complete unit pretty easily from the back of the transom and when removed it had a universal and splined shaft that slid right out with it from (presumably) the flywheel that's inside that bell cover on the back. The engine just lifted right out after taking the 2 nuts and 2 mounting bolts out. Not bad at all!
Thanks! I was trying to come up with something to keep the classic Mercruiser style. And I totally agree 100%. I wire things like they will be part of a submarine when I can. I do like the shrink tube stuff but lately for small connections I have been using a kit of terminals that have transparent shrink plastic on them and this heat activated glue stuff inside. Really like these. Once crimped you heat it and it shrinks just like the shrink tube but you can also see melted clear glue stuff squeezing out a little and displacing the air space that was inside. I'll be posting some pictures as this stuff gets connected and you'll see em. I like how they seem to have zero airspace inside. Have had good luck with them so far. I'm definitely going to have to get some shrink tubes for when I do the big battery cables though so I'll check out that kit. Ever use liquid electrical tape with any success? My last set of battery cables I did I tried something new and doped them up with that stuff after crimping the cable to the ring terminals, then slid the shrink tube over it and heated it. Made a bit of a mess squeezing out the excess but it worked! This did basically the same thing as the connectors I was talking about but on a much larger scale.
Nice!
Thanks!Nice!
Exhaust vent fan for stove built into the oversized cupboard. Take out from a powerful blade server. This thing is like a leaf blower outside lol so going to need to get a dimmer switch for it.
Yeah, I'm guessing maybe 9000 rpm?... lol So might be self hover capable, didn't flight test. But now I have a starboard-only docking thruster!Man I was going to say, I have a computer fan that can self-hover!
It sure looks a lot like that fan.
Thanks! I've always really liked cedar. The look, smell, resistant properties. There was a bunch of cedar in the boat that previous owner installed. I've been recycling the original ceiling and wall panels for stuff like this, the bathroom, dining area ceiling. It was some of the only wood in it that survived the neglect when it went out of use.
