    Boat leaking salt water - steering pin?

    You are right about that not being rain. But a loose hose clamp. Or a forgotten clamp ? Problem is ALL that white looking sediment. No known saltwater. Right ? Then your fresh water is very loaded with whitish sediment. That is spraying all over.

    Boat leaking salt water - steering pin?

    All that salt build up ???? At least 10 years from a motor cooling part or hose when running. A driver of the boat. And you looking at all parts of the engine for a spray / mist when running. NOT very fast is required.

    How bad of an idea is this for OB support while trailering?

    I tilt all OB motors almost ALL the way up for any road traveling. I stop the motor, when the power head is right over the transom. All road shocks are straight down into the transom. No cords or other stuff is needed.

    Best way to connect 6 awg to 14 awg stranded wire

    I just strip off enough insulation so I can FOLD the smaller wire strands several times. To fit a little loosely in the bigger hole. A normal hand compression plier can squeeze it tight.

    1982 Johnson 50 Sea Horse - Constant Beep While Accelerating

    Why are we tearing apart something that is probably working ? The damaged rubber piece might solve the problem ? Trouble shoot and repair. Not rebuild the engine. The saying....If it is not broke ? Do not just change parts on old engines.. Put it together & run it on the trailer. Back in...
