Re: mercruiser engine removal?
yep, still here db. was a busy week last week. had a little work so as to make a living and did my R&R the pan thing last week in my back yard. all went well, 3 days to do it. one to disconnect everything, one day to pull the engine, R&R the pan and put it back where i found it. one day to put it all back together again. oh, + it rained somewhere in all that while the engine was loose hanging by the hoist and no great way to cover it up.
been raining here a lot lately. flooding even in our local rivers. most are at flood stage or above.
also went out on sunday. water test ya know. all went well and i seem to have stopped my leaky oil pan. it was a rust pin hole in the old pan, just behind the drain plug. i did have a new experience on sunday though. i got hailed on. that sure made others run the boat ramp. myself, i went full enclosed (aft curtain deployed) and watched everyone else run. sure was fun. the hail wasn't to big. pea size.
+, some of the questions others are posting about their boats i don't know the answer to. i don't like to comment unless i have something worthwhile (hopefully) to say. unfortunately. i may be finding out about how to do fiberglass repair and foam on a nineteen sometime in the future. i need to weight my boat, but i'm pretty convinced that i'm retaining water. my ft. engine mount lag bolts were rusty. i used new ones i had on hand, same bolt and the port one didn't torque down to good. so i'm treading on thin ice i think. i need to find out more about what's under the liner to mount the ft. lag bolts too. i think a board glassed to the bottom of the liner, but ain't sure, but i think in the end, somethings gonna have to be done.
