common for vertical driveshaft to damage the seal in upper when reassembling the two halves. to change out you need to remove input driveshaft (need big spanner to remove big nut. Input driveshaft bearings, gear come out. Remove top cover, then remove other gear in upper, change out seal. If...

Yeah maybe talk it ovah wihge your boyz at Dunkies... Seriously really the only (boat swap) option given the costs and technology involved. I would love to try wakesurfing without buying a surf boat. We have a 21 ft BR that I repowered back in 2016, looked into converting to VP forward drive...

I think you are giving up too easy. if the seller advertise them as alpha one or MC1 cylinders and you can prove they are not by part number it is 100% worth reaching out to the seller and asking him to exchange. If he doesn’t make it right what do you have to lose by contacting ebay. personally...

Only way to really do it is remove the engine and pull core plugs. You can try filling and draining repeatedely but don’t think you’ll get much out

This is 100 % accurate don't buy props until you know this.

Did you tell the seller they were miss advertised? If they did nothing I would contact eBay if they were advertised incorrectly. when I recently sold a machine thru ebay for work ebay held the money until the buyer left positive feedback. Likely you have more leverage than you think if the part...

I would find a way. I screwed my engine to a pallet hooked up a battery via some old cables, you can hot wire it at the cannon plug, put the fuel line in a small gas tank. if there are any leaks now is the time to find out. Was work done to the engines while they were out ?

ok so weight savings thats impressive

Absolutely you are right in saying that. Tell them out of the two invoices pick one for you to pay...They should know that too and not expect you to pay twice for engine removal. and yes water doesnt leak uphill.

How ? just curious not arguing

absolutely different environments/ uses and on a 21 ft the only place to hang out is back bench/sun pad/swim platform

it ends up from the dash harness through the cannon plug back ultimately to the coil, not sure if it goes through the ECU on an MPI might need to google a wiring diagram

you are lucky with the mini I have done more work on the mini to get from 72 k to 106 k than my camry from 49 k to 227 k

93. had a issue in ignition system where it would loose spark and buck sort of run. usually on long highway trips. It would eat coils, cap (arc welding inside), rotor and wires. of course this was intermittent. Finally gave it to a independent VW guy and asked him if he would drive it as if...
