    SL-3 Contols adjustment?

    I can probably pull the whole assembly out through the back however it is pretty tight back there. Attached is a picture of the control in the same boat I have and a diagram of the OMC controller I have.

    Looking for advice on prop for 21' Chris Craft Bowrider

    Outdrive Tilt leaking down

    I have just purchased a 1998 chris craft with an OMC/Volvo engine 57FCPBYC. I have discovered that the outdrive tilt leaks down.
