I am finally going to start the process of pulling the engine out of my 1989 Four Winns 205 Sundowner, I can't seem to find what size the nuts are that hold the drive on ( pitch thread type). I am having a hard time finding replacement part numbers and a good source for these as well.
I had water in the top bellow because of a tear looks like ill need to replace the u joint in there as it had gotten a little rusty and rusty water was laying in the bellow.
Can you guys give me some things to look for that I may not be aware of when pulling the engine out, like things to check or look at while its apart (including the drive)?
I had no problems shifting last year after the cable was replaced and adjusted properly, no signs on the outside of any problems with the drive or weird sounds.
I want to have this done right so I don't have to tear it apart a second time.
Sadly I think that when I get the new engine in it and any other repair that needs done I am going to put a for sale sign on it while I use it this summer. I am hoping to be a sailboat owner in the future.
