    94 Cobia 5.7 Chevy/Yamaha setup

    It's a 29 year old boat. Keyhole in transom is now standard. However you need a whole lot more than just a drive, you need all the bits that attache the drive to the boat. You have to remove the Yamaha motor and drive from the boat, and replace with a Mercruiser or Volvo Penta

    21 Pachanga

    SeaRay branded motors in 1988 and 1989 were standard Mercruiser engines and drives, just painted white. SeaRay also did the stupid thing of putting a BBC in front of an Alpha and Mercruiser was stupid enough to listen the motors were 4.3's, 5.0's, 5.7's and 7.4's the guy with the pachanga...

    FLYWHEEL HELP!!!

    RH and LH blocks are same, cams are the same, however timing is done with gears vs chain. Pistons are assembled different, and crank casting is the same except the knurling on crank is different for RH motors (or you pump oil out) Flywheel is same, however flywheel for inboard is different...

    water in all 4 cylinders

    It's almost never the head gasket To test the water jacket. Drain the block and head, take a hose that comes from the transom shield and the hose that feeds the manifold and tie them together. I use my mityvac pump You can borrow a compression tester from your local FLAPS

    1993 Volvo Penta DP-D1 Stern Drive

    If you PM me your email, I can send you a 1988 290/DPA shop manual. However the VP site just needs your drive serial number to get the manual (1991 and later) There is little change in the drive from the 290DP up to the DP-H1 If you need parts...

    FREEZE PLUG REPLACEMENT

    I would look closely. Looks like the core plug was pushed out (fresh metal scrapes) Agree with Jim, marine engines use brass and stainless core plugs.
