    Ford F150 w/10 spd transmission

    I take it you have the long bed? I would have gotten the 3.73 bit not available in the shorter bed.

    Maybe Dumb first time boat owner maintenance questions.

    The best option, although more expensive, is to just buy a whole new shaft.

    7.4GL temp sender info needed

    Use an IR temp gun and measure the housing where the sender was installed to see what your actual temperature is. If that shows 140 like it should, its your gauge.

    Maybe Dumb first time boat owner maintenance questions.

    If you have a tear in the u-joint bellows, expect to change the gimble bearing and u-joints. Actually, you will just change the entire drive shaft and likely the driveshaft seal where it goes into the drive. Hopefully not much water got into your drive becuase that is a definite possibility...

    Wheel bearings full of water

    You disagree that the spec is 45,000RPM and that a wheel only rotates at 733RPM? The math is pretty simple. I guess those 100s of thousands of people that use the EZ-Lube and Bearing Buddys that fill their hubs full are littered along the highways!

    Wheel bearings full of water

    The RPMs of a tapered wheel bearing in a wheel application is a fraction of the percent that they are rated to run at so its not even close to being an issue if the hub is full of grease. The temperature influence of the brakes and just the sun beating on them is WAY more of an effect. A...

    Wheel bearings full of water

    LOL....so what? As long as the piston is not bottomed out and you can rock the piston, there is positive pressure in the hub which is all you want! You haven't pulled hubs and inspected bearings in 10 years? LOL

    Velvo penta does on water

    This one is a timing light and dwell meter in one if you don't already have a timing light https://smile.amazon.com/INNOVA-5568-Pro-Timing-Light-Tool/dp/B000EVU8J8/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=INNOVA+5568&qid=1626707957&s=automotive&sr=1-1

    Wheel bearings full of water

    I have never had a problem with Bearing Buddys. Even if there is a pocket of air in the hub, the sole purpose of the bearing buddy is to have positive pressure in the hub so zero need for them to actually be 100% full. Over time, you may need to add more grease if that air pocket seeps out.

    Velvo penta does on water

    The water level has to be even with the pump on the front of the engine. That is impossible using a bucket.

    I would think the zerk would hit the buddy bearing.

    OMC Cobra 4.3 Upper outdrive housing crack

    And just be aware, you need all the parts including the updated bellcrank shaft to do this.

    House Battery Bank with ACR

    I always do it on the load side. That way, if you have the switch off and a dual bank battery charger connected to the batteries, the ACR won't combine.

    OMC Cobra 4.3 Upper outdrive housing crack

    This area is where the bellcrank attaches to the shift cable. It can fill with water which is what caused this to crack. On my Cobra that I used to have, I replaced that round flat bushing that you see near the crack with a newer version that has a zerk fitting so you can fill that entire area...
