It seems like the clutch push rod is too short. This makes me wonder if I have the spring retainer on the wrong side of the spring pin.
Can you confirm that the spring retainer goes on the spring side of the spring pin? Or does is actually go in with the clutch push rod after the spring pin is...
When it is at bottom of bore there is shaft play on the gear (it slides about an 1/8" which appeared to be why I did not have reverse? I will disassemble again today... not sure what is going on here. Thank you for the time
Hi Paul,
That is correct, MFS4A2.
I looked at a parts diagram and just confirmed that all parts have been installed including the spring holder you referenced.
When I just pulled the prop shaft out just now, the cam on the push rod is pointed the correct way as well.
It did seem that I...
Good Afternoon,
I have a 2006 Tohatsu 4 hp 4 stroke. I had to replace the 3 lower unit gears, bearings and seals after the prop hit a rock.
I just wrapped up the rebuild but now I have a new problem. I have no reverse.
I disconnected the shift linkage from the selector lever on the motor at...
I don't really care what the crank measures. The bearings are on order from yamaha based on the crank #'s (they offer 3 different sizes) I will install and plastigage them to make sure they will work with the crank. It is a low hours motor with no visible wear on any bearing surfaces. Despite...
I've got a 2006 Yamaha F250 that I am rebuilding. The crank has staining on the journals as seen in the photo. Any issues with this? Should I polish the journals or leave one? It is smooth to the touch with no pitting.
Hi everyone. I have a 1984 Carver Mariner 28 that had a 20" wide swim platform on the transom. The platform was soft, the core was rotten, and it was not large enough for our uses (dinghy storage and general boarding). Here is a photo of where I started:
Here is a sketch of the supports I...
2000 Volvo Penta 5.7L GS
I pulled the motor this past winter and replaced the starter, spark plugs, manifolds, risers, and drive coupler. I just got the engine back in the boat this week and I have the following problems:
Starting the engine is difficult. By that I mean the starter struggles...
I have a 2000 Volvo Penta 5.7L engine mated to a DP-SM drive. The package has 700 hours on it, and I currently have the engine out (painted it, cleaned bilge, etc) and I was wondering if I should replace the Drive Coupler as a maintenance item? I have no issues with it at the moment.
Thanks for...
I have a 2000 Volvo Penta 5.7L GS with 750 hours on it. It is RWC and has been used in both salt and fresh water. I replaced the manifolds 3 years ago with Barr, and the risers 4 years ago with OEM volvo.
In early July I started to experience rough running condition at idle speed (misfiring)...
I need to replace the power steering pump on my 2000 Volvo Penta 5.7L GS due to a leak at the reservoir, and I was wondering if I can just go to an automotive store and buy an automotive equivalent (GMC Truck with a 5.7L for example)?
Thanks for the help!
On a 10 year old boat what parts should be replaced for preventative maintenance? I don't mean service items like impellers, cap/rotor, belts, etc that have a set life or recommended change out schedule.
What about the items that are never talked about?
-Fuel pump?
-Ignition Coil?
-Relays...
For those of you with larger cuddy cabin style I/O boats (with water systems, marine head, washdown pumps, ect) how long does it take you to winterize at the end of the season?
Here is my list:

-fog engine
-drain RWC and add RV antifreeze
-clean out bilge
-remove...
