    NEW Transom seal BAD!!!

    I "handled" an aftermarket seal a while back at a marine store going out of biz. ( I don't know if it was sierra , glm ,etc) The aftermarket one felt very different than oem , it felt more like a toy versus a tire type of rubber like an oem boot. But your point is valid , who knows when those...

    Stumped. OMC 235 HP I/O

    Undo the 4 big bolts at the bottom of the upper. A big plastic puck type thing will then be accessible . The impeller and water pump shaft will right there . See Kenny's detailed post above , walks you through it

    Stumped. OMC 235 HP I/O

    It could be any of the shafts as Scott mentioned. You are rooting for it to be the actual water pump shaft (bottom of upper unit) as that is an easy quick replacement. if any of the other shafts go , I believe you are reshimming components which will be no fun. get a new impeller and seal...

    Thanks for the feedback all. Scott , what is the h- valve ? That's a new one for me. It sounds like I may be reading into the lower pressure of 12 , more than needed.

    1995 Omc 302 replacement to 351 help

    Dont quote me on this as I have not seen it first hand. But a gent here on Iboats was claiming that GT40"P" heads will work as well. On cars and trucks those are no-no based on the exhaust manifolds , but this gent was claiming with marine exhaust manifolds it made no difference and he could...

    Id reccomend getting a factory manual first and foremost . although that boat is in great shape , for any " new to you" stringer , I would reccomend this list at a minimum before putting it in the water. inspect ball gears (post pics) beyond 50% wear are considered toast remove drive all...

    Ball Gear Pains / Lube???

    I have only done one set of ball gears , so keep that in mind while reading this. I am sure its possible to get the ball gear off without removing the shaft , however I bet you would mangle the double seal while taking off the the old ball gear and putting on the new one. And tearing up that...

    Marsden Smart Interrupt

    There are no electronic gadgets in the world that can fix that . The prop spinning In the water creates all kinds of pressure on the gears and the original interrupt system simply stalls the engine for a second to relieve that pressure while you shift out of gear. What drive do you have by...

    Why not just fix what you have using oem parts? I see new stuff all the time various websites. There are many with old boats and drives that shift just fine. I had never heard of that marsden deal before your post. Just my opinion but it seems mickey mouse to me , theres no way I'm having a...

    1985 OMC 800 Stringer - Thump (?)

    at a minimum , you need to a factory manual and do the procedure called "nominal neutral adjustment" That basically makes sure you are getting enough travel from the dog clutch in and out of gear. I can give you the basics and the measurements if you would like before you take it into the boat...

    homebuilders / construction guys lend me your ear

    Yes , good call on the railing , that was one of the flaws with the previous deck that I forgot about , the standard option will make that transition from deck to stair railing much cleaner. Im going that route for sure. Gonna shoot for this method of attachment. Except for I have double...
