    Pink Salmon

    I just read where a couple of Pink Salmon (Pacific species) have been caught here in Eastern Canada. Anybody have any experience catching these? Are they good eating? Do they get very big? A guy I know who lived in BC said these were considered the least desirable of the Pacific salmon species.

    Replacing U-joints Alpha one gen 1

    As for the U-joints themselves, I used automotive u-joints instead of marine. They were much cheaper and should never see water anyway. Worked fine on a pre alpha drive.

    F90 shaft swap

    I don't know anything about the switch but I was wondering how the block cracked? I'm curious because thats the same motor I have.

    Wading prius

    Did you see that ship over by Germany that burnt carrying a load of cars? They suspect that was caused by an EV catching fire. I always wanted one, but I think I'll wait until they get all the bugs worked out!

    Dribble of oil at prop, usual suspects checked, now puzzled

    I had my lower unit off at the time and immersed it in a big tub of water and waited for the bubbles. My problem ended up being the shift shaft seal.

    2002 Glastron 175sx milky oil

    You need to at least get the old milky oil out of her, take out the plugs and get what you can out of the cylinders and put some fogging oil in there. Letting her sit with water in the engine is not good. I had a similar problem one time, turned out ti be a tiny hole in the exhaust manifolds.

    Dribble of oil at prop, usual suspects checked, now puzzled

    Do you have a pump for putting gear oil into your lower drive? The screw in end of that tube might work. I once rigged up something like that with a 12v car tire pump that had pressure guage and the end of the oil refill tube. Don't over pressurize the lower unit with air or you risk damaging...

    2 Forward bilge pumps?

    Before you replace the pump, make sure its not just the float switch, they can go bad. I recently had to replace one and they are cheap and readily available.

    Overheat alarm at idle... I think??

    So would this be something you change on a regular basis or just wait until it acts up?

    If the kicker works, even without the main motor, I'd say you got your money's worth.

    Overheat alarm at idle... I think??

    I had never heard of a poppet valve or knew what they would be for. Found a great vid. here on the subject. Are these a regular maintenance item?

    Fuel not getting to outboard motor

    Thats more then a drip! That looks to be coming from your gas filter. Is it screwed on right? Is there a rubber gasket missing? Maybe the in or out gas line not tight?

    Lower Unit Gear Oil Running Temp ?

    "I’m also going to be doing some long distance boating with my little boat through Canada and hopefully to Greenland" That line from "Jaws" comes to mind....you need a bigger boat (and newer motor)!
