Ok it looks to be fine, PDS fits well no slop, any chance that plate could cause massive vibration, I assume it’s the bearing but incase it’s not is that a reasonable option to take apart and investigate? Perhaps the PDS it’s self.
I figured it was the coupling but do these engines have a damper plate or is that the same as the drive coupling. my boat shops around here are less than helpful based on the age of it. You all are way more knowledgeable. Thank you all thus far
Ok I’m on it plate and doughnut are off and tube is fee I guess I have to pull the pulleys I didn’t really want to pull the pulleys I guess that’s better than bending then pulling it out. I’ll be back thanks again.
Beautiful I was Just thinking I can tip but I doubt i be able to put it back the same way lol
I found a manual but it’s gonna take 10-14 days.
1 question by Doughnut you mean the rubber orings around the transom tube inside and out? Then it should be free
That part circled in red it has to come out with the engine? from the engine side of the boat? cause I have about 1/2” of clearance before the pulleys hit the flooring, if so I guess I need to cut flooring, thanks for any help you can provide I appreciate it.
I’m looking for a shop manual but...
I agree with that 💯 % but I can’t seem to find one I ordered a maintenance that dies cover some of it but doesn’t show exactly how to.
So out drive is removed
PDS removed
Are you saying the bearing housing/tube has to be pulled with the engine ?
Well I had to take a break from this but I’m back at it and ready to pull the engine this is the only picture it will upload lol not sure do I have to unbolt the bell housing cover in order to lift it out ?
Ok I’ve tried to reduce the size so I need to post more to get approval no problem. I love this site so much good info on here thanks for the tips so far
