Let me start off by saying I'm a bow rider person who currently has a 20ft 200 select Sea Ray.
I'm out on the bay and as I get older am looking for a used boat with a more comfortable ride (less pounding) without breaking the bank. I want it to be a family boat that I can do some fishing on...
Two very good points. Somehow I missed the obvious about the oil and didn't know about evinrude being out of the outboard business. 4 stroke all the way.
Thanks
I was leaning to buying boat with a 4 stroke engine. However, I ame across a boat with a 2014 150 hp Eninrude etec engine with 220 hours. I read about the engine and the it seems that the it has more pros than the 4 stroke Yamaha. Low end torque, lighter, same fuel consumption, and quiet.
Not...
Found a solution made for this issue. Not crazy about sheet metal screws. I'll try tapping out plate and using machine screws.
Dorman 90449 Distribution Repair Plate
One of the distributor screws hole is broken on a 5.0 mecruicser MPI. I can't believe the top of the distributor is plastic. I read that there is a repair kit for $25 but don't have any details.
Has anyone heard off the repair? Any details would be great.
Thanks
I'll be with him when putting the drive on. I understand, don't get a bigger hammer, instead fix the issue. I've only had the boat for for a year and it's the first time taking off the drive. What would cause engine to get out of alignment?
I should of said the mechanic said to kick the drive with your foot to get it in.
wither way all these responses are suggesting it's an engine alignment which I don't feel comfortable attempting even though it doesn't seem to hard.
I just want the dam drive back on. I'll update everyone in two...
I bought a 1 inch galvanized pipe which fit inside the gimbal bearing.
this way I could rotate the gimbal bearing. It helped but still couln't get it to line up. Called mechanic and he said that gimbal will align when you put drive in and I probably didn't hit the drive hard enough to get it...
