    Rusty u joints bravo 3

    They do feel smooth How do you"match them up"? Take them out and go to the auto parts store? Assuming i would have to take the giant castle nut off to check this...

    Rusty u joints bravo 3

    Both the u joints and gimbal feel buttery smooth, but clearly one of them is not if I am getting the growling described, right? Sounds like a fun job. Any chance there is more stuck in the exhaust? How would I know?

    Rusty u joints bravo 3

    That is not a problem. Bilge gets wet but not that wet. I have read some saying that you can use automotive parts here for much less. Any youth to this? Suggestions on how to find the matching part? I was afraid i would need to replace the bellows...i did that on my last boat and have been...

    Rusty u joints bravo 3

    Thanks for the response. Should I replace both since water has been in there? Do I need a full u joint assembly or is there some other way that is less expensive to replace them? On the transom side. Does that mean on the outside or inside the boat? I don't know what you mean here. Item 11...

    Rusty u joints bravo 3

    I have a 97 rinker 232 with a 7.4 bravo 3 merc. I bought it late in the season last year and being honest I was lazy and didn't pull the drive last year during winterizing. I only put about 10 hours on it this year. I had intermittent growling with sharp turns under heavy load a few times when...

    Trailer tires lean

    I'll try to get some videos later. There was no play when I replaced the bearings. There was play before.

    Trailer tires lean

    That's why I replaced them in the first place. I will try again with new races this time. Old races looked good so I didn't replace them

    Trailer tires lean

    Recently purchased a boat with a tandem axle shorelandr trailer. The back wheels lean when driving. They favor one side when going straight but will lean to either side (I.e. Camber in and out) when turning. I replaced the wheel bearings, but they still lean and cause a lot of tire wear. Fairly...

    Gas leaking from tank inlet

    I think I will also keep it less than full. 75 gallons is a lot. Provably usually only use that much in a season, granted that was my old 4.3 motor. I'm sure to see an increase in fuel consumption with my 7.4

    Gas leaking from tank inlet

    It is parked in my driveway that is mostly level, with the bow down toward the road, but I'd say the nose is probably up a bit from the tongue jack

    Gas leaking from tank inlet

    There are no other openings in the hull or houses from the tank that I could find. Did some digging and saw someone say the vent for their rinker was in the fill cap that looked just like mine. So how would I avoid this in the future? I didn't fill the tank, so I'm not sure what process he did...

    Gas leaking from tank inlet

    Even after running for a half hour (mix of wot, cruise and idle) it would be too full?
