    Mc1 won't pump water

    Any ideas why a freshly rebuilt water pump would not pump? I've put two impellers in and they keep burning up. No water flow through the transom or prop hub. Can't figure it out. Boat is hooked up to muffs with full water flow. thanks

    Engine alignment

    Checked my engine alignment and I have spline marks on all sides of the bar. However, the bar is kind of hard to get on to the coupler all the way. What does that mean? Do engine mounts need adjustment? Thanks all

    Gear Ratios

    So I am thinking of getting a new outdrive. My ratio is listed on the housing as 1.65R. I am looking at a new to me out drive that says it is 1.62 and has a 24/24 tooth count. How do I make sure that unit will mount up to my transom with no issues. Thanks!

    New bearing not smooth

    I purchased a new ball bearing for the reverse gear on my MC1 drive. The new bearing feels rough and kind of notch. The place I got it from said it was original stock. How much grease should I pack into the bearing before I mount to reverse gear and then into bearing carrier. The old bearing...

    Weekend on Lake Lanier

    Fellow North GA Boaters, I am taking my first trip on Lake Lanier this weekend. We are staying at a house around two mile creek. Just wondering what to expect, as far as the water, the amount of boats and/or choppiness. I am used to Lake Allatoona, which is smaller and very choppy. I don't...

    1979 165 L6 Drive Belt

    When replacing the drive belt on the L6 drive, you remove the access block by the front motor mount, but do you have to worry about the motor dropping at all? Would you have to pull the drive and check the alignment after just changing the belt? Also, is it ok to use a automotive belt, or do...

    Interior Redesign/Rebuild

    Hello Resto Forum. Some of you might remember me and my 79 Searay SRV 190. I did a stringer/deck/transom job on her during the summer of 2011. After that job was done in the middle of the summer (dying to get on the water), I put new carpet in the boat and threw the old interior back in there...

    MC-1 Bearing Assembly Reassembly

    From what I read in the manuals, when I am putting the bearing assembly back together on my 79 MC-1 drive, there is a spacer between the two bearings. That means that I do not tighten the bolt to 80 ft.lbs? I just tighten it until the bearing starts to move towards the nut? Does this sound...

    The Gorge, George Washington

    So me and the wife went to see a Dave Matthews Concert this weekend in George WA. We flew into Seattle, and then drove the 2.5 hours east to George, WA. The drive out there was worth the trip alone, in my opinion. The Columbia River is amazing, and it seems so majestic. We were at the Gorge...
