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.
Surely someone other than the captain was in command during this fiasco. Like the owners young son who found the liquor cabinet open. Whoever it...
If you do decide to bring her down the river and are planning to use the Tenn Tom ,check with the corps of engineers to see if the Demopolis, Al....
You're cheating yourself out of a great trip by putting it on a trailer.
Can you replace that with B7 threaded rod? It's not as corrosion resistant as SS but it's stronger.
Also called a strobe light.
Yes, a lack of water flow will cause this. A bad run capacitor among other things will also cause it, but I would verify water flow before I...
Lake water will corrode those blocks from the inside out and the cold Midwest winters will find any water you manage to leave in the low spots and...
