Correct......mostly for operating while it's on the trailer for stowing, flushing, maintenance, etc. Being able to raise and lower while looking directly at the skeg to ground clearance.
I'm going to add a trim switch closer to the outdrive for convenience. My swim platform has two hinged compartments, one contains the ladder. The other one is where I think I'm going to mount it, as it is directly over the trim pump assembly in the engine compartment. My question is.....what...
Okay, thanks for the clarification.....I have that same kit. I was getting mixed up, thought that Dubs was referring to the shaft seal in the upper housing. But that one requires a lot of disassembly.
If loctite was going to be used as a thread sealant wouldn't blue be best? The kit did not come with a driveshaft seal, when I drained the lube there was no water in it that I could see. The tube and bushing don't look deformed, but the receiver hole in the upper did have corrosion on the...
Thanks for the advice, I will definitely back flush. She runs in saltwater so I am going to put something on the threads as they are all slightly corroded. I already have the QuickSilver impeller kit. The old impeller is in-tact with only minor wear marks on the blades, it feels just as soft as...
I have a couple of questions for the experts here. This is the first time I have replaced the impeller on this outdrive. While removing the lower unit, I found that the front mounting bolt had red loctite on it, not sure why. After removing the lower unit, I found that there was no water seal...
This is my tented frame to support the cockpit area, the stern end piece actually rests against the bimini bows when folded flat to retain the shape, there is also a center post I use for the bow area.
If I had gone 4 years before I had problems then it might not be as big of a deal, but 18 months in is when I first started having problems. Last summer I cleaned and retreated, which I never did with my original cover. That retreatment only lasted maybe 4-6 months, hard to say because I don't...
That is what is so aggravating with this one. I have a really good support system, built an entire structure out of PVC tubing that keeps the cover tented, it does not allow water to pool anywhere. I do not trailer this thing with the cover on, even though the manufacturer says it can be done...
