    Replacing 3.0L crankshaft seal

    I have finally figured out that my major oil leak is from my crank seal. I have been reading up on this and am planning on giving it a shot this weekend. I have read that I will need to use some sort of allignment tool. Is that something you could typically rent/borrow or would I need to buy...

    Tilt/Trim only works sometimes

    The tilt on my boat works off and on. I can always here the solenoid clicking when I hit the switch, but the mnotor doesn't always run. Sometimes it will go down fine, but then won't come back up. I will have to play with the switch a bunch of times or sometimes holding it down for a while it...

    Electrical problems after breaking drive belt

    Last weekend on the river the drive belt on my boat broke. I ran the boat for what I am estimating to be 30 minutes or so without noticing. I replaced the belt with the one they gave me at the auto parts store, although the replacement appeared to be wider and the ribs are taller. It seemed...

    3.0L Very Hard Shifting

    When my boat shifts into gear, forward or reverse, it james into gear very hard. The lever actually shifts very smooth, just the actual gear shifting jars the boat quite a bit. What can cause this and what should I check? Thanks.
