    1989 Renken 2000 I think I'm in trouble

    first thing to rot is the transom second thing to rot is the stringers last thing to rot is the floor. to verify, tilt the motor up, get on the AV plate with a buddy and jump up and down. a good transom will not flex.

    3.0 GS stalling when put in gear

    I would fix the issue before continuing to use the boat. FYI, a true mechanic would not have turned the idle up. that is how you tear up the cone clutches

    3.0 GS stalling when put in gear

    sounds like your carb has an issue with the idle circuit being plugged and someone turned up the idle to compensate for it. you are no longer running on the idle circuit, however the main jets the holley 2300 carb on the motor most likely needs a tear down and cleaning and to be re-assembled...

    how much does my leg weigh

    no one said anything about a frame and yes, if not attached to the boat, you will need to hold it in the upright position, or bear hug it and set it on the tailgate of your truck or your work bench. if you want to build a stand to hold the drive up. then do so. scrap lumber and an $8 dolly...

    Stainless Steel Rowboats 1940s

    Mercruiser 7.4 Dipstick Tube Broke, Can't Remove Oil Pan

    yes. stamped oil pans have a tendency to distort the pan rails where the bolts are. typical fix is to straighten them at any service.

    Mercruiser 7.4 Dipstick Tube Broke, Can't Remove Oil Pan

    no reason you cant reuse the pan or windage tray. you can bang the windage tray back into shape. just make sure the crank clears it. it is for windage control within the oil pan, or you run the risk of frothing the oil as you bang thru waves. a block of wood and a hammer is all you should...
