I will be changing the U-Joint on my OMC Cobra Outdrive. Water got into the OD and rusted the U-Joint and the bearing. (See Figure "Rusted UJoint") I will either take the OD to a shop and have them replace the U-Joint and perhaps overhaul the OD OR Buy the U-Joint assy and install it myself...

Up date: I got the OD off the boat. Just by lots of prying with the wooden wedges, Hamering them in between the Transom Mount and the OD and rocking the OD back and forth. Water had gotten in the bellows and rusted the bearing and the U-Joints!!! They both will be replaced.

1) I have never have a stuck OD before and I have had this one off before 2) The boat has never flooded I have heard of that method. I just want to be sure not damage the transom. I may just try standing on the OD while I extend the trim actuators.

I'm removing my OMC OD from my 92 4Winns Horizon 200 to replace the U-Joint Bellows and the bearing. The problem is that the OD seems to be stuck. I have removed all 6 nuts and the actuator pivot pin. I plan on replacing the bellows and bearing due to a leak and vibration. The leak could have...

I run my 92 4Winns Horizon 200 primarily in salt water in Alamitos Bay, near LA. I had been flushing it out before I left the ramp but my hose sprang a leak so lately I rinse the motor after returning home. Sometimes that is the next day if I get home late at night. How effective is rinsing...

Mine are all LED now but not having power in the circuit might be a good idea.

Nope. I have a dedicated ground wire at the plug at the back of the 4Runner

Problem Solved!! I had a bad ground wire, That makes sense because that can affect every circuit and all the lights on the trailer were out. It was a little strange: I have a circuit tester. It has an alligator clip for the ground and a pointed tip. If you touch anything with power the light...

No lights come on on the trailer!! I have checked that I have power in the harness. There are 3 connections: From the round plug at the back of my 4Runner, all signal good: Tail lights and both right and left turn signals. That harness only goes about 2 feet and then through another 4 pin...

I installed new bunk guide-ons and carpet on the trailer for my 20 ft Four Winns. The carpet on the guide-ons was very worn and coming apart. I did this with the boat on the trailer. That meant I had all my tools, a work bench, power, and I could do it over a few days etc. That worked out much...

Update I found this on Amazon: Cuda Boat Trailer Bunk Carpet – RED 23oz 13Ft x 12In Premium Marine Carpet Premium Bunk Board Carpet for Boat Trailers, Boat Trailer Bunks, Boat Bunk Carpet, Bunk Carpet for Boat Trailers $40 each. I needed 2. It is red. A little bit expensive but a top...

Thanks but I'm hoping for red. The boat and trailer are red. I see that the CE Smith bunk carpet is 16 oz / Sq yd. I will look for that weight. I'm going to see if I can track down CE Smith carpet somplace else that might have red. Thanks

Update. No problem with leaving power to the radio 24/7 BUT only to the clock and to power the memory. That was the yellow wire. In other words yellow (clock and preset memory) are wired directly to the battey and do NOT go through the battery selector switch. This wire has power 24/7. The power...

This is for the side rails (?) the wood that guides the sides of the boat onto the trailer. Because they are visible and the boat is red and white, I'd like to get red carpet. That is what is on there now. I found: Boat Trailer Bunk Carpet - 36oz Forever Boat Bunk Carpet (12"W x 13'L, Red) Bunk"...

I measured the current draw for the yellow wire for my stereo. It is only .7 milliamps I did some checking and that woud not drain the battery in over a year. I did connect the yellow wire directly to the battery. The yellow wire stays hot even when the battery selector switch to off. The red...

How do you remove the horn cover on a 92 Horizon 200? I can see the screws are removed from the outside but they are covered up by a plastic piece that must come off. It looks like the cover snaps in place but I don't want to pry too hard and break it.

You can do it yourself. Litteraly 4 screws to mount it and then run the battery cables to the switch instead of the positive terminal in the motor. You will need just one more battery cable. See diagram. There is one drawback with this configuration. If I remove or disconnect battery 1, I...

About to get off the boat: Green = Don't forget to turn off battery switch No Green Light = Good job you remembered to turn the battery selector to off You just got back on the boat: Green = You dummy, you forgot to turn the battery selector to off. You migh have enought power to start. Good...

I should modify what I suggested. You do not need a switch on the dash. As suggested, a battery selector switch is the best option. See attached. If you want to go one step further, An indicator light that you have power from the batteries. I do not mean an indicator that the ignition is on, an...
