    Kicker Motor

    I have a totally separate fuel supply for my aux motor. Thinking that if I have to use it to get home if the main motor goes down I would want to not be reliant on the fuel used in the motor that just stopped in case that was the problem .

    04 Yamaha, Help w/Essential Gaskets/seals Powerhead Removal

    I dont think a factory (or any other )manual would list parts needed ,they would be more likely to show you how to find and measure re wear/damage if any ....gaskets for every joint you break are an obvious start . Its good that you do have a "book" . I watch a few different you tube guys...

    04 Yamaha, Help w/Essential Gaskets/seals Powerhead Removal

    🙂 Hi, unfortunately waiting a week and a half for a part only to then find you need another is part of the down side of doing it yourself . The oil pump rotors might be less than ideal condition so its hard to guess if your better off with a whole pump rather than a kit . The only way for you (...

    How much to tall is fridge ? I have removed wheels and feet off fridges to get them to fit , they do need a bit of air flow around them for cooling but there is not (usually ) any condenser pipework on the top or bottom of the cabinet.🙂

    1990 120ho force king pin question

    The soft seal is a waxy that sets about as hard as soap. The grease I used was Timken bearing grease....but only because thats what was in the gun . There is marine grease available and I spose thats the best but I think as long as you pack something in there you ok . The outside of my pivot was...

    1990 120ho force king pin question

    I got a bit lucky ,the original shaft was 1 inch and the aliexpress shaft was 26mm so I turned a bit of dia off the end so it would press into the yoke....and happily the extra .6mm was how much the original bushes had worn so the whole thing fitted together pretty good .
