    HELP - trying to drive in inner bearing race... NEED TRICKS

    Hi, im trying to drive in the inner bearing race and it won't go in. The outer one did, but I can't seem to get the inner one started. I tap one side in, and the other pops out. I need something from someone's sack of tricks!

    Boat TLC questions

    It has been a while since I last posted anything on my mini refurbishing alumacraft project thingy... Finally I got something done and got the engine all re rigged and the wiring fixed. Some dummy connected both charger banks to one battery despite the fact that there are two batteries beside...

    3.0 volvo short or long block

    probably posted in the wrong section. Hint: its the same block as mercruiser. All GM. michiganmotorz should have them. They are getting hard to find though, because GM recently discontinued the 3.0.

    Boat TLC questions

    Had a cold spell of weather, but now had a chance to work on the boat again. The consoles turned out to be a bigger disaster than I first thought. There was basically only one screw holding the entire console on the boat. I got lucky it did not fly off when I first brought the boat home. No...

    Boat TLC questions

    well, it seems like vinyl is a bit more preferred for the more hardcore fishing boat, opposed to the fishnski boats. This boat is going to be a hardcore fishing boat, so I will leave vinyl on all horizontal surfaces, except for the gunnel caps. This brings another question: what type of glue to...

    Boat TLC questions

    OOOHHH! Nice! I was looking at these at the marina and they wanted $44 each! Thanks for the info on the switches! Is there a way to put the lettering on them? As for the consoles, they are the weird fiberglass coated with plastic stuff. Could I somehow prep the surface and shoot topside paint...

    Boat TLC questions

    Hello! Well, the boat that stupid me tried to bring on a flatbed car hauler is finally here... albeit not on a car hauler. A boat trailer did the trick. Anyways, I thought I was buying a boat that was totaled for being rear ended so the engine was all messed up and the bow of the boat as...

    200EFI mercury

    do i have this right? you had a 24p on a 150, and now a 21p on a 200? uhh... 24p high 5 on a 150 WILL make less rpm than a 21p high 5 on a 200... if you want to stay with the high 5, first try put the 24p that you have on the 200. HOWEVER, the high 5 is the wrong prop IMHO for a bass boat...

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    Ok, one more thing. I'm looking at a nice bunk trailer, but my only concern is that it has only two bunks like this: It also has keel rollers. I am concerned whether that is enough support for an aluminum boat. My the trailer for my lund has much wider bunks, made of board lying flat to the...

    2001 mercury optimax 135 running hot

    IMHO 0.5 psi at idle could be OK. Ive had a few outboards, and at idle, they would have under 1 psi water pressure at idle. Not saying yours should be, but not necessarily a cause for concern. Opti has a large telltale because all the water that goes through the compressor exits out the...

    Transporting a 20' boat on a flatbed.

    First, thank you everyone for your advice. Now time for a little story, aka what to do and what not to do. The boat is in detroit. I am near Toronto. So basically I can't cross the border to pick it up. The next logical step would be to find someone to bring it. I found this guy with a...
