Well my cylinder water gasket and water temp sensor repair went very well. I did notice a very small trickle of water coming from bottom corner of exhaust gasket. Its pretty small drip/trickle. How big a PITA is changing the two gaskets on the exhaust side? 125 2 stroke. Gaskets 3 and 4 In pic...
TY for the reply. I spoke with same person at powertech and I got the answer I assumed. But any real world experience is also useful. The RED has a bit of rake and some cup. I have run the Rev 4 on other boats and it worked very well. As I expected a semi cleaver doesn’t run as well in higher...
Wondering anyone may have experience with the Powertech RED propellers, and if they mind running high in the water. Not surface piercing. I like them so far, but need to raise my outboard another set of holes to get rigging correct for my particular boating setup. TY
For the next poor soul that finds themselves in the same situation. I removed the cover to install new gasket due to very tiny leak. This let me make sure now part of the old sender/sensor was behind the plate in the water jacket (which it was, so good choice). I carefully hogged out the...
Its something really only corrosion and machinists know. Stainless has various types as well. All metals have corrosive properties when in contact with one another. Its a matter of minimizing the issue. Stainless can also act as an insulator of sorts in electrical systems. While it conducts, it...
I had a Baja Sport 210 that I built a custom 454 power plant. I ran a Rev 4 on an alpha sterndrive. It was a fairly unique craft as they only made the model 1-2 years with big block and alpha drive before moving yo bravo drive. I installed a drive shower to keep the drive unit cool. I never hole...
My guess and its only a guess, is most of these items are made of marine brass. Not typical 360 brass. I did not look at the part close enough. I am in replace mode. :)
Well would ya look at what I found laying all cute. Have to wait on new gasket to get here, but removing the cover was the correct choice. That is the end of the temp sensor circled.
I seldom find forums where folks try to help each other. There will always be disagreements and opinions on any given question or topic.
Sincere thank you from the HillBilly
Square easy out and very carefully. It more ground it out than removed it. This is why I will pull the cover for a new gasket. It has a small leak anyway. This allows me to clean up the threaded hole for new sensor at the same time. I also get to see if any crap is inside the water ways. Just...
