Hi all,
Back again with another issue! If anyone has been following along my other threads I have now essentially rebuilt the outdrive as well as both trim cylinders. Took the boat out 2 days ago for one last ride and to get the stabilizer moving through. Everything ran as it should! The...
Yeah I turned it a bunch before, extremely smooth, like butter, with no play in any direction. Visibly looks brand new. Except now it just doesn't spin as easily, literally immediately after I pumped the new QS Extreme grease through (think a "lighter" grease was previously used? Was bright blue...
Awesome, this is great news. Pretty sure there wasn't any protection on the previous either. Thank you sir!
I have a couple of other unrelated questions that I just ran into. Getting ready to reassemble the outdrive after doing all maintenance (and beyond) - I pumped QS Extreme grease (as per...
That makes me feel better! So in other words, the way I have it should be fine?
Thank you!
Edit: also, I imagine the protective sheath goes right where it's in contact with the Y pipe here?
I was going based off of this image but then realized maybe I missed going around the starboard rear engine mount. The part I have circled is the area in question as it seems it's very difficult to see the mount. And in the picture it's cut off so I didn't even realize it at first.
Hi all, back again with a new thread.
This time I'm tackling the lower shift cable assembly. I actually did research ahead and ran a fishing line as a guide, but when backing the old shift jacket nut out the tension sucked it right back in.. it was crazy and I felt all hope slip from my hands...
Thank you! This is exactly what I did, I meant to update yesterday. I just ran the trim up til empty with the cylinder hoses in a bucket, then down til empty. Refilled with fresh ATF, ran up and down til empty again 2x then refilled once more and now I'm waiting for my seal kits to reinstall the...
I don't have much to offer for help besides this, I just did this yesterday (replaced the bell housing bushings & seals) and spent a fair bit of time trying to find out which orientation the seals are to be installed. According to the diagram posted by Don, post #11 in this thread - the seals...
Update on progress - I picked up a heavier duty adjustable "pin wrench" with different sized pin fittings. Finally got the end cap off and completely disassembled both cylinders. I will be going ahead and replacing all the seals since I've made it this far. Thanks everyone for your input!
Next...
This might just be the route I end up taking, at this point. I'd say that's possible as the boat did sit unused for a while, though the tank itself is fairly high up from the bottom of the hull which makes me think it's unlikely water would've it made it that high. Thanks again!
Thanks Bondo! Anything to keep them from seizing like they were would be a plus 😅 Perhaps you could shed some light on this comment as it has me a bit stumped and unsure of parts I should be acquiring:
"I imagine the end cap has some sort of "permanent" seal (aka not replaceable without...
Yes that's correct, just like a brake line. You think it's a concern that some sealer might get in the fluid if I put it on the threads?
I manually "emptied" the cylinders but when I got the first one open there was still a little bit left in there. Does this make heat a poor idea? Thank you!
