Re: 1987 Sea Drive Bracket Parts & Service Manual?????

I was able to get the Sea Drive manual from my local dealer.<br /><br />Regarding parts, I too would love to find a stash of them. I have a pair of '84 1.6ls, and would love to have a third as a parts motor. To the best of my knowledge the unique items are the linkage and T&T system (as well the bracket, which I think was the whole marketing concept for the Sea Drive line).<br /><br />There are a few of us Sea Drive owners that regularly post to this board, so hopefully someone knows where the Sea Drive scrap yard is!!<br /><br />RKwood

Parts for the sea drive t&t and old sea drive outboards are not a problem for me to find. we have a local boat dealer that went out of business years ago and he has a ton of old sea drive parts. he quoted me $400.00 for t&t assembly (piston, pump, hydraulic lines) that looked brand new. Not a bad price from what I can tell.<br /><br />Anyway, I guess I'll check with the local evinrude dealer about the manuals.<br /><br />Thanks.

Re: 1987 Sea Drive Bracket Parts & Service Manual?????

Us Sea Drive folks ought to have a place to keep in contact. I have a pair of 87 1.6Ls. I got the manuals about 6 months ago but do not remember where.<br /><br />I have had no problems with the Sea Drive assemblys. I have been told that the motors are the same as non Sea Drives but do not have any confirmation of that. <br /><br />I do not like the mickey mouse linkages for the carbs & ignition - - that universal mechanism on the starboatd side of the engine. Way too much slop in the design and you cannot get a good sync & link or timing.

J.Fenn<br /><br />Hey, that old man died about 3 months ago and his kids are not letting anyone have access to the parts. The doors are shut.<br /><br />Sorry.

Re: 1987 Sea Drive Bracket Parts & Service Manual?????

Hi Folks. I have a single 1988 2.7L Sea Drive. -- And bought the shop manual from EBay. Seriously.<br /><br />$15. <br /><br />Actually, I bought the 1987 shop manual. The differences between years a very subtle. In fact, the differences between SIZES are rather subtle.<br /><br />If there is a specific question you may have, please forward a note to me (kameika@yahoo.com). I'd be happy to answer, with assistance from the shop manual.<br /><br />As for parts: Consider the bracket to be unique. The power head, midrange, and lower unit are (generally) parts-compatible with any Evinrude, OMC, or Johnson of similar vintage.<br /><br />You probably already know that already.<br /><br />The Bracket is the tough one. The T&T Pump is pretty readily available, though. The Hydraulic Cylinder and the hydraulic feed-lines are also pretty readily available from the deal, albeit expensive.<br /><br />The Zincs--I just bought one from the "Boat US Bargain Table." <br /><br />The ACTUAL BRACKET could prove a complicated thing to find, though. That's where the junkyard will be handy.<br /><br />My single, biggest fear is a Tilt/Trim hydraulic pump failure. It'll be a b*tch to repair on a Sea Drive.<br /><br />Am I wrong?<br /><br />Ken

Re: 1987 Sea Drive Bracket Parts & Service Manual?????

I have both an '84 2.6l V6 and an '88 3.0l V6 seadrives. Both are being converted to "Standard" outboards. I already have the parts for the '88. The '84 is on the back burner for now. The older units had unique power head parts for fuel and oil inlet and control cable connections. The newer units are more outboard like in the hook up but still have the different mounting bracket. From the info supplied to me, the V6's went from 2.6l crossflow to 2.7l looper in '87 and 3.0l in '88.If someone is interested in these parts (Seadrive related) please let me know. My email is bdtindall2@comcast.net and I'm located just outside Atlantic City. NJ.
