I have a 3/4 full port ball valve on the pump outlet and a tee above that with a valve on the bench side that I connect to a garden hose. When I...
I'm not sure of your age or agility but I did some repairs on a 38' Sea Ray a few years ago and it was not a good situation.
Mine looks just like Gregs. 5" between the tank and sole, 350 gal tank.
Sounds like something I would have done when I was a younger man. If you have plenty of time it's doable but be careful in the open water which...
Where are you launching from?
I haven't made it back to my boat yet but if you find yourself going to Panama City you are welcome to take a look at it.
And I misspelled the name. It's Ringfeder
I don't see any bolts in the picture Carl posted.
Ring Fedders are keyless on a straight shaft. They rely 100% on friction to lock in place and they work really well. I'm not at all familiar with...
Looks like they're using a Ring Fedder to hold it on the shaft. Corrosion could make for a difficult removal if that's the case. That's a keyless...
I wouldn't let the engines be the determining factor in the decision making process. Lots of us run the 92 series Detroits with no issues at all,...
Some of these projects have happy endings and I have been in the middle of a few of them. Can you share anymore information with us? Is the hull...
And it's not just a south Florida problem. We have the same issues in the panhandle.
The loose bolts were probably the root cause of failure. The housings won't stand any side load without deflecting. Those gears created a lot of...
Are those aluminum housings?
The bearings set the gears in a proper relationship with each other and the housing holds that alignment. If the housings flexed enough to cause...
I would bet good money those bearings were recently replaced. Misalignment didn't help your situation but there was some loose metal in that...
I'll be back on my boat in a few days and will see if I see anything that may help you. Mine is a 1993 46'.
There should be something there unless someone ordered a boat without it.
Not for me.
