Ok well the boat made it thru most of the season. With a ton a help from the experts on this forum. Now I have another question.
I was not getting much power from the starboard motor. Idled good and ran under load but with a load won't get past 2500 rpm. I rebuilt the carb because the secondaries weren't opening and totally missed the fact that the secondaries didn't have the spring installed. So when they opened they fully opened and would not close.
So after getting the Holley's spring kit I reinstalled carb and fired it up. The engine hrdyolocked and I had water oil coming out of the #5 cylinder when I took the plugs out. Tried to do compression test but couldn't get the engine to spin period.
I pulled the engine and plan to do some repairs to the plumbing and the side of the engine compartment while it's out but I had a few questions.
The boat is a 92 Renken Seamaster 2688 with twin 4.3l and Yamaha outdrives.
-do I replace the Yamaha stern drive while the engine is out it seems to be in great working order but parts are bit hard to find if something breaks. It actually shifts great. Who would supply me with and outdrives and transom assembly package. New shift cable and remote I image as well$$$?
- do you all have any recommendations for an engine e supplier. Can a truck 4.3l work minus the external and freeze plugs.
The amount of milkshake coming out of #5 makes me think the water jacket is broken and not head gasket but I'm no pro. How to tell difference with out tearing it apart
- the exhaust manifold is gonna be replace with the fuel pump and starter should I budget anything else.
-any serious advice would be appreciated as this is only the second d time I be pulled a motor out of snything
