Great! I guess batteries are becoming like light bulbs. I'm trying to keep up lol. If I've been using a Diehard lead acid 24M/800 CCA/1000 CA with great results what would be an equivalent in a Lifepo4?
When you changed the impeller did you get the key back on the driveshaft? The hose will force water up to some extent but without the impeller turning it won't be enough.
Hmm...I have sunbrella and it's never shrunk a bit, awesome stuff. I had a vinyl top that did and as you describe it was a PITA. How about a pic or two.
Guessing that is/was a forward drive most likely duo prop. In that configuration so much sticks forward by the time it kicks up I'm thinking it doesn't gain you much...the prop shaft and props would act like a snag holding onto whatever it hit. On the other hand Chris may be right it ran into...
Is it not true however, that when in gear prop torque keeps the outdrive pressed hard to one side? I don't think it's free to flop around so to speak. This would mean the wear on the steering components, gimbal ring/steering lever, etc. is mostly on one side. Unless of course you drive in...
Page 1B-58 of Mercruiser Service Manual #31 (October 2001) details a procedure for lubricating the starter motor shaft. It says to remove a plastic plug from the flywheel housing and lubricate the shaft with motor oil. I currently have the back of the boat taken apart for other maintenance...
Good point. You stated back on post 29 that the alignment was good prior to bearing install....so yes the motor mounts is probably a rabbit hole. Admittedly I've never had to install a gimbal bearing. I had one installed 900 hours ago, back when they were still greasable, and it's still...
Nola Mike may have hit the nail on the head. Take pics of your rear engine mounts and post them. I had one fail. If I looked hard enough I could actually see the engine leaning to one side. If this the case it will never align correctly.
