    my new old 1988 ss20v

    I finally got the transom cover pulled , man i think the engine was easier work . |Because of the carpet and the kind of glue i used just getting to the rivets took as much time as getting the rivets out ! :beguiled: Funny , i thought that i'd get the cover off and have most or all of the stuff...

    The easy part is done as i just got the engine out and i pulled the outdrive last night . Now the real work begins of undressing the transom . Looks like a lotta stuff to have to remember how to put back together again but i'm going to try and set my little cybershot camera up on a tripod and...

    what is too long a time to run a gimble bearing ---

    will try to show the white contamination on the gimble--- left side just under the 2nd bolt . i do think that the spline grease looks like it may have some contamination as well but not as prominent .

    what is too long a time to run a gimble bearing ---

    i've got the drive out and i can't see a thing wrong with the bellows. i will replace it because of the fact that it is at least 13 years old and could be much older. I see some white crap that does not belong in there as far as i know , would that be an indication of water entering the drive at...

    what is too long a time to run a gimble bearing ---

    I have been chasing down a few leaks prior to splash time and although i have found most of the problem i still have a dribble that drips down from under the Y pipe but I am thinking it is the driveline bellows. I checked the Y pipe while the engine and outdrive were out of the boat and it...

    Looks good WM. I will have to borrow that idea from you on my next one. The expendable mounting plate is a smart idea , you never know what you might need in the future. Pulled the boat out into the sunshine to wash and buff it out and the more I buff ( or rub should I say since I can't find...

    you know , I thought about something similar but I don't remember what they are called. You attach one half of the mount to the wood backing and the other to the gunnel and they kind of hook together . People give mixed reviews about them though. If we would have got our angles right on the red...

    too bad the cushions in the bow are just set into place to check for fit and not installed but tomorrow is another day. Fire smoke so thick today it was hard to stay outside , don't know where it's coming from this time because most of the fires around here have been put out after a month of...

    This is it for now . Tomorrow I rivet the base cushion ply down and throw in the base cushions then mount the upper back rest cushions . Have more problems with the vinyl fit for the turtle shell for the engine doghouse so I will have to work that out before I can call the upholstery done...
