    Vp aq270

    Also, would it be possible to add a power trim system to this motor or would I have to do a bunch of extra stuff? Alot of these lakes around me have shallow spots and now that I know that's just a tilt for trailering I'm worried about bottoming it out.

    Vp aq270

    Yeah I keep a strap on it when driving but it holds up fine unless it's underload in the water. Didn't know that it wasn't made to use as power trim. Kind of stupid design if you're in shallow water. I don't believe the lack of speed is an engine issue. Rpms about 4700 wot . When the shifter is...

    So my next question is what if I don't remove the ujoint spindle, and just leave it in there and then disconnect the gear box and change bellows that way ? I don't see this boat getting more than 5 more good years out of it if that so I'd rather not put a **** load of time and money into it. I...

    Seized into the gimbal bearing maybe ? I'd rather not pull the engine if I don't have to that's the last resort....I was thinking maybe get a slide hammer and try getting it out that way? From the looks of the outboard it hasn't been serviced in years . Guy I got it from seemed ok then got shady...
