    1988 3.0 and 1994 3.0 swap

    Well it's official I'm going to be converting to the 4.3. The engine bay area is actually a few inchs bigger in my boat then it is in the boat that the 4.3 is in now. I believe that the 4.3 was an option for my boat as well but it doesn't have the engine mount beds for one . Should I continue...

    Quicksilver 3000 Classic w/trailering button: Replacement options

    I just purchased this to replace my commander 3000 as well. To answer your question yes the trailer switch is built into the up trim switch lightly push for trim up and it takes a good hard push for trailer trim up also it uses the new style cables so you would have to replace the cables

    MC-1 transom + cork gasket, to seal or not to seal?

    Ok I can see using sealer on the bottom 2 bolts for extra measures but if you expect the o-ring seals to leak then you should also expect the transom seal to leak

    MC-1 transom + cork gasket, to seal or not to seal?

    That's the way I took it as well. So one would say no sealer needed on the mounting bolts correct? Am I wrong in thinking that if water can make it to the mounting bolts that there's a penetration for water to enter much larger then the bolt holes

    MC-1 transom + cork gasket, to seal or not to seal?

    No need to use sealer as the transom seal seals water from getting to the bolt holes as well. If water does make it thru the transom seal then it would come in the giant hole in the transom and not the bolt holes..

    Still having shift issues and need / like some input

    Yeah just a pain because I have literally dumped about 800 into the shifting issue and the lower shift cable that was found to be the problem is brand new but aftermarket. When I would measure the play in the lower shift cable it would be in spec but what I didn't realize is there was more play...
