    Advice on buying used 2009 Yamaha SX 190

    OMC 5.0 Part ID?

    You never mentioned what year the boat is. Unless it is 1995+, parts and service are almost impossible to find. If you like wrenching instead of boating, get it.

    Leak in the boat.

    This is the 1995 Cobra SX (Volvo SX), over the winter I changed gimble bearing, exhaust and u-joint bellows. I don't remember having the leak last year unless I missed it, but I don't remember accumulating that much water, but there was a bit after runs. This year I just did extra careful check...

    Gimbal Seal issue...

    So when I went to remove the drive, I looked inside the hole and noticed that the metal spring around the gimbal seal fell off. Is it a huge deal, do I need to be worried about it? I can't put it back on, as the gimbal bearing is in the way, I just had enough space to reach and remove it. My...

    Cobra SX drive, too much play?

    Could the parts in yellow brake down or wear out? Any idea or replacement part numbers? I guess need to remove the drive again and pivot housing? or maybe access tot hem from the bottom?

    Cobra SX drive, too much play?

    Housing.jpg I hope I used the right name, attached is the picture of what was removed, I think it is just the pivot housing, that goes up and down. Can't really recall clunking before when trimming, has been a while and probably did not pay enough attention.

    Cobra SX drive, too much play?

    So I removed the drive prior to winter and did not notice anything funny but would be probably too busy to do so anyway during the removal. Over the winter all I did was to replace gimble bearing and the bellows, for the I removed the pivot housing only. Put put it all together and I notice way...

    Simple drawing" Bellcrank Alignment tool"

    Same here, got one from eBay as well. The material alone to make a metal one and machining + time would not worth the cost of it. It is just a stick that is machined. If you can't afford $35 on a tool that will align $5000 engine/outdrive combo, sell the boat :laugh: Wood can deform and worst...
