I have a 2 person kayak that I need to rig up a way(cheap) for my wife to get it on and off the pier into the water. I was think about one of these lift cranes and some type of sling but wanted to see if anyone had anything they have built/bought for this...
So.... What do you think is the chance of getting this out without snapping off?? Anybody ever remove one from a 10+ year old engine without difficulty. Got it soaking with PB blaster now.
While putting the outdrive back on the boat today, I snapped off a piece of the plastic pad that is at the bottom of the gimbal ring. Does anyone know if this piece if replaceable? I looked on mecurypartsexpress.com, but it doesn't have a part number for them.
Trying to add a second battery to my boat and have a question. The current Accessory fuse panel seems to be connected to a RED/PURPLE wire coming off the harness on the back of the engine. My plan is to separate all house loads and transfer them to a "house" battery. So, I traced this...
So, I thought this would be a piece of cake. Had all the tools lined up, then this....
Should this damn thing be that hard to get out? Now the axle puller is stuck in there. I'm sure it's stuck between the bearing and the dust seal. Is my next move just a big 'ol slide hammer? Worst...

Re: Life jacket at the dock?
I was working on my lift once and took a nice little fall. Was on the front of the boat trying to lower myself down to the bunk and either missed a step or slipped on the bunk. Went flying and hit the bunk full force on my side. Broke a couple ribs and ended up...
My local boating store was out of gimbal bearing grease so I need some advice. I want to give the lower unit a squirt while I have it out out the water(thanks Irene). Here's what I have in the garage. Which one should I go with?
Re: Boating the Upper Chesapeake
If the water gets this high, I'll have bigger issues to deal with than the boat. The Maxum is tucked away on the trailer in the driveway.
Ok, so I bought a group 31 deep cycle battery a few months ago that I haven't got around to installing. I throw it on the charger every few weeks to keep it full. I now think I messed it up by charging at too low of a rate when charging. My battery charger(Schumacher XCS15) is coming up with...
