This steady airflow is something I don't understand..

Water in fuel?

I'm mystified, but will follow your thread to conclusion..

What RPM are you seeing?

Your attitude is good keep us updated on your progress...,,:)

And there lies the gremlins, a boat that old.(I have one) can look like new cosmetically but unfortunately it seems no one maintains the vitals.. I hope you have a positive outcome just understand that the chances of more chores are a possibility..

Maybe a shot of water in the fuel?

Your fortunate to have a flat piece of land! Here in east TN I don't think it exists...LOL you got all the space you need if the roller clears .. :)

@Bondo BTw that was a good story..:)

The shift mechanism and lower cable is probably shot as well.. you have a boat that likely wasn't cared for.. cracked engine block etc..

I'm thinking you don't really know what the condition of the outdrive or hull structure is since you bought it knowing the engine is trash you couldn't take a ride.. just saying that there may be more than motor needed..

Well anything bolted to the motor that's 30 years old and fails is a bi+#$ to replace when the engine is in the boat.. guess what I'm saying is start off with new stuff...

I might have missed it but you said you just bought the boat and your in the process of swapping. Don't use any of the old 94 engine parts on the new motor . They bite back!

If your ship is like my ship I'm guessing it has tons of graphite in it. It probably came out of a tar pit somewhere!

I have some heavy black grease l have used for years on the gear wheel on my lift, probably a chassis grease and it has kept the lift nice and quiet.. No label on the can just a big wad of grease!

well AD, knowing you from many of your posts, I figure what is most frustrating for you is that you can't put it right without risk of voiding a warranty... hang in there you will eventually get it the way you want..

I need to give it try, I don't have anything going on at the moment but it's on my list..thx..

Ya need to get the frost off first with an aggressive compound or maybe some sanding with a fine wet sand..or if you're comfortable with s da you can use it..

If it's 95 Degrees in Miami and water tenp is 90 then the ac pump will probably run continuously..
