I have a 1978 mercruiser 470 and a 1985 mercrusier 170. I spun a rod in the 1978, and the rod journal is almost out of tolerance to be undersize .020. I noticed this crankshaft seems to be a forged crankshaft. I had the 170 sitting on a shelf and to my knowledge the internals are the same aside...
I acquired an aluminum center console and it was in saltwater since it was new in 1990. It was never kept in the water for more than a day. However, there is some pitting on the bottom of the boat with some thru pin holes. My plan was to use a jb marine weld or permatex water bond to fill the...

I have gear case fluid leaking from the water hole on the bottom of the drive. Took the gear housing off and it looks like oil is coming from the upper driveshaft where the driveshaft goes into. What tools and how hard is it to replace the seals in the driveshaft housing? Thanks in advance

Does anyone have any information on a 1990 Monark legend 1800 center console aluminum fishing boat? I tried looking the mfg up, but it seems like they are no longer around. Any general information or brochures on this boat would help greatly. I received the boat as a free project, I am unsure...
