    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    You've done incredible work and worked at an incredible speed on this boat.

    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    I ran the grinder with a 40-grit flap disc across my finger in January. It cut very deep, but it healed, but I don't think I'll ever have a finger print in that area any more. Be really careful with a grinder - it's really dangerous.

    Sealing wood for motor mounts.

    I used resin and 1 layer of CSM between each layer to glue mine together, then cut to shape, round the edges, PB in place, and glass them in.

    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    I used the 435. Don't be afraid to pick up the phone and call them. Very nice and helpful folks.

    Tearing down transom assembly

    OK, I looked at the upper steering pin and thing I understand their design. The one zerk for the top bushing lubes the top bushing. Excess grease goes past the top bushing above the steering pin, down through the hollow inner diameter, and out through through the hole to lubricate the lower...

    Tearing down transom assembly

    The only needle bearing I've found is at the bottom of the gimbal ring - it already has a zerk and passageway. Is there another one somewhere? I'm down for drilling through the case and bushing to put in a zerk if needed for the steering pin.

    Tearing down transom assembly

    Ah, I see what you're saying. I'm pretty sure the steering pin is hollow and has a "port" to dispense grease to the lower bushing area. Did Mercruiser really design this with no way to grease the lower bushing on the upper steering pin? I'll have to look at the parts when I get home.

    Tearing down transom assembly

    Circled it in green and drew an arrow - or were you talking about something else?

    Tearing down transom assembly

    Yep. There is already one on my gimbal housing. Where do you see one missing?

    Tearing down transom assembly

    Got my new gimbal bearing installed. It is the sealed kind...that's what came in the Quicksilver kit. I've still got the old one - it still feels good and is the kind with a hole so you can grease it. Not sure if pulling the old bearing out (by the inner race) damages it to the point I should...

    Alpha One Gen 1 Shift Shaft Seal

    @Kubaat3lover - I mocked it back up to show what I did to drive the old bushing out. I just hammered on the top of the threaded rod lightly and the bushing came right out.

    Alpha One Gen 1 Shift Shaft Seal

    Thanks for the tips guys. Shift shaft is already out, and I used some 3/8" threaded rod and an 11mm 1/4" drive socket to hammer out the original bushing - worked like a charm. It didn't even take much force to knock it out. I've ordered 23-805041A2 to replace it with.

    Stringer contour question

    Save your time...don't try to match the contour. Just fill the gap with PB.

    Problem with paint after refreshing Alpha One Gen 2

    I'm trying Majic Tractor Truck and Implement Enamel primer and gloss black top coat with their catalyst hardener. It laid down well (I reduced the top coat with naphtha and sprayed with an HVLP gun)...we'll just have to see how it holds up.

    Advice on transom , stringers and floor rebuild

    The storage is not worth giving up. Just seal the edges of the opening with fiberglass.

    Alpha One Gen 1 Shift Shaft Seal

    Pretty easy to hammer out the old bushing and hammer the new one in? I plan on trying it without buying the "special tool".
