    Frozen Prop on SX-M Duoprop, Seeking Advice

    Edit: Have to take that back. The DP doesn't appear to have a center hub, its solid SS same as B3. The item inside the splined shaft is the inner prop shaft seal The puller has to be pressing against the splined shaft and the prop. My thought is your puller is pressing against the center...

    Frozen Prop on SX-M Duoprop, Seeking Advice

    Have not messed with VP DP. My B3 has is solid with no hub. Yours is probably rubber, so when heating it may catch fire. I would not use a sledge. Keep the heat on and a hose or extinguisher near by

    Lost our best fishing buddy

    I sort of have always taken the easier way out by always having two. Unable to remember when I didn't have a buddy other then in the 70's when in the USCG. The easy way is to always have two, one old and one young. When the old one goes, the younger one helps get ya past it. Then get a pup...

    Mercruiser 3.0 Fuel Issues

    No need for new thread unless you want to get maybe more input, and nothing wrong with more input If this happens when the motor is cold but not when warmed up, then its the choke, and it needs adjusted If it happens all the time at low idle, then its mixer screws and/or float settings

    Lost our best fishing buddy

    Until you get another buddy, this will continue. Everywhere I look I see Tigger, next to the bed, the chair, in my lap, out in the shop, just everywhere. I'm trying for the first time to see if I can get by without a buddy, and so far its not working very well
