    Diverence between bell housings Bravo

    Yes it is the newer housing and keeps the gimbal bolt/nuts from coming in contact with the bell housing in full up position. Adjusting the trim limit will not stop contact if it were to happen. In most all cases this will not be an issue. Bring drive full up once installed to see if there is...

    Dog water ramp for boat

    Have been using a Paws Aboard for many years. It works great for all the dogs we have had. Even works when tied up for other dogs coming to visit. I modified it for easier attachment and removal on the boarding ladder. As others mentioned it does take up quite a bit of room, but is light...

    building my own anchor pulpit

    Placing a 1 inch diameter washer in an area displaces the load over a 1 inch circle. So the 1 inch spot will not be ripped out easier then a 1/2 inch spot. This is not the same if the entire area is covered by the entire plate. The plate can be form fitted or another item can be trimmed to...

    Private Bank Stock

    I understand stock but don't fully understand private stock, much less private bank stock (BS). Mom has 100 shares of BS in her IRA. Bought it years ago for $39 and they say its worth $70. The issue is it doesn't (according to bank folks) go thru the SEC so if it sells for less the $70 it...

    Bought a 1998 Sea Ray Sundancer 270 wide beam with rot...

    I would use the oscillating saw before a grinder and would go clear to the skin. The transom must be flat and perpendicular to within 1/8 or 3mm. If it does not meet these specs then there could be problems aligning the motor. I would also remove the stringer skin glass and redo them when the...

    RPM drops intermittently at high RPMs. Merc 4.3L

    The connection is made inside the harness, so there is only one connection at the coil. Need to get behind the helm and remove gray wire off tach. Is this grease or something else inside the coil tower?

    Gear ratio determination

    Might be over thinking this but the ratio doesn't add up so I'm missing something. Original Drive B3 2:0 ratio so it should have 32/27 uppers and 16/27 lowers. I know the lower has 16/27 gears because I rebuilt the lower section a few years ago After the repower, I bought a complete brand new...

    Drone TV

    Still researching DTV signal, and thought of something. Is there a drone made which can pick up maybe 20 pounds. My thought is if a drone could pick up a large high gain antenna and about 70 feet of RG6 cable. Get it to pick up the antenna and then see how high it has to go to get reception...

    Need a box

    Well it turned out OK, and actually glad I used the bigger box. Would still like to make it a bit smaller, so will stay on the look out for Rev 2 design maybe later. Looked for a 15 Amp DIN breaker and some how or another I wasn't paying attention and bought a 10 AMP. Should not be a problem...

    Does the Fuel line have a washer/gasket?? Leaking !!

    There is not a gasket, they are inverted to standard flare fitting. From the looks of where the arrow is pointing, I don't think its screwed in all the way, IF (clean threads) this is the original fuel line If this is the case, remove, inspect, clean and reinstall

    I/o steering hard

    You have non-power steering and uses a straight cable from the helm. Pull the pin that the arrow is pointing to, there is a cotter pin on the bottom. Once the pin is pulled move the cable out of the way. Now rotate the helm and see if its easy, then grab the outdrive outside the boat and move...

    Drive fluid leak on 3.0 mercruiser with alpha one

    This doesn't look right. Can see the bellows full of lube but don't see any signs of water. Does look like the drive was installed using silicone on the gasket. I'm wondering if the old gasket was torn and reused.
