Looking to buy a newer Four Winns with hull damage. It has serious hull edge wear from being washed up on concrete ramp or something it looks. Any advise or directions toward hull edge damage like this? Here is a link to a pic of the worst damage...
So I pulled my outdrive to replace the gimbal bearing and after putting it all together I hooked ear muffs and fired it up in driveway. No more gimbal bearing noise at idle. I then decided since I had the shift cable out to replace bellows I would try putting it in gear (which I have never done...
OK, I have searched and read for hours. Most say to pull the core cable first, then magically unscrew from the outdrive side and pull out the outer cable shield. This is where it gets dicey for me. I have it all apart up at the engine side. I did start to pull the core and it stuck at around 15...
So I went to Autozone and bought / rented the puller, slide tool, bearing driver. (guess I own the inside puller now) Anyhow, after happening about 25 times it broke. See pic. Should I try the axle bearing puller type maybe...

Saw one on Craiglist. Never considered anything other than a deck boat for next boat. Kind of looked interesting. Was wondering if there is a midship owner out there that could comment on having it, etc. I nevr wanted a cabin boat because it negated the front open bown fro my teenage kids &...
In the middle of the ?stroke? of tilting the outdrive up the gauge shows the outdrive ?full up? for a while, then correct again.
