    Stuck on step one outdrive removal-speedo cable

    Ok, where is this thing? I'm in the process of replacing myshifter cable, and need to take the outdrive off to do it. I cant find a picture of what or where the speedo cable clip looks like, and frankly I don't know where to look. I'm pretty sure I can remove the hydro cylinders and bolts...

    Replacing lower shift cable

    After being helped here and a few calls, I've determined I need a new lower shift cable. I did a search with a lot of hits, but didn't see a topic specifically asking how to replace it. So I'm wondering if there is a write up somewhere and if the outdrive unit has to be completely removed. I...

    shift linkage nightmare

    I cannot for the life of me figure out what is wrong here. I've read through the service manual and adjusted the copper barrel and linkage to where it's supposed to be, shift it into gear and it goes fine the first time, try it again and the microswitch rides up on the cam and stays there...

    How to tell if bearings are failing

    I recently experienced a blowout on my trailer. The tires were I believe original, so probably close to 20 years old if thats possible, they were pretty dry rotted and a rear tire blew after about 11 miles of low speed driving. Got a spare on, and stopped on the way home after about 5 miles...

    Nanco tires

    Have a 21' Wellcraft cuddy and a tandem axle trailer. Recently had a blow out on the old Marathons (they were pretty dry rotted) and new need 4 new tires. The old tires were 175/80R13's load rating "C"; does this sound adequate? I know Nanco tires are Chinese, which I'm not real crazy about...

    How hot?

    87 305 mercruiser. Just got some issues resolved today, hooked up the hose and started it up. I wanted to let it reach full operating temperature so I had an idea where that was, well when the gauge got up to ~200F I chickened out and shut her down. That seems like it's getting a little on...

    Still working on my oildyne power trim pump

    I've replaced both solenoids, bench tested and everything seems fine. Tested for continuity and activation from the throttle switches to the male plug that connects to the trim motor. I've arrived at the conclusion that the likely reason my "up" trim function is not working is a faulty female...

    Bleeding Oildyne power trim unit

    In the process of replacing a solenoid on my trim motor, have the motor out of the boat and the hydraulic lines disconnected. Bought a quart of trim fluid (hope its enough) and plan on completely draining the reservoir as it is contaminated. Did a little reading, and apparently all you do is...

    soleniod for trim

    I need to replace one of the solenoids on my 1988 wellcraft 210 classic. Basically the outdrive will go down but not back up; I think both of the solenoids that control that are the same. Anybody know how I can go about looking that up? I doubt I've given enough information for anybody to...

    Busted motor mount

    Wish I would have caught this when I bought the boat. 1987 wellcraft 210. Whats your opinion? A little serious or very serious? Any fix or let it be?

    solenoid for outdrive?

    Just bought a boat, very new to the boating world and green so excuse my ignorance. The outdrive will go down but it won't go up. Was told it was a $25 solenoid or possibly bad battery; where do I go to find this solenoid. And it went up when I test drove it just won't now. The boat is a '87...

    200 hp v8 with power steering. what displacement?

    looking at an 87 wellcraft 210, thinking this is the 305 engine and not 350. I'm curious exactly what designation this engine is because I've found alot of 5 litre engines with different specs.

    what year wellcraft

    went to look at what is supposed to be an '87 classic 210, however the instrument cluster did not have gauges with needles but rather the 'rising bar' type of tach and speedo. I thought other 87's I had seen had the traditional needle type of gauges. am i looking at an older boat? don't have...
