    OMC stringer thump sound from the rear.

    I used to have a OMC tool that after removing the quadrant gear it fit over the small gear, the other end had a 3/4” square hole that a torque wrench was inserted i at a right angle. This was how the “breakaway” torque was checked. So in your case just loosen the set screw until you can raise...

    OMC stringer thump sound from the rear.

    Try tightening the set screw in the tilt shaft. Also check all the engine mounting lag screws in the stringers. Is the propeller tight? It should not be able to slide on the shaft.

    Converting 260MIE RH to LH.

    Chris, I realize most MIE engines have reverse entry starters, Is there room to use under engine starters? As you know the ring gear can be on either side of the flywheel. I will take a ride to the local rebuilder and ask him your question.

    OMC stringer thump sound from the rear.

    You should not be able to raise or lower the drive by hand. First try a 1/4 turn first, if it still wants to thump give it another 1/4 turn.

    OMC stringer thump sound from the rear.

    From what you have described it appears to be the tilt clutch, has anyone had it apart? If so and it is the early style where a thick snap ring holds the pack together the ring is not seated. The ring can only be properly seated while the pack is compressed either in a vise or a shop press...

    Volvo Penta AQ125/270 overheating raw water not pumping

    Try what I mentioned, by submerging the suction hose in a bucket of water or just stick a garden hose in it. If the pump does not pull water then I bet either the 1/2 moon key somehow slipped out or the pump drive coupler is not turning the pump shaft.
