    Powerhead removal

    You could hang it upside down, by the gearcase. That would put pressure on both pieces that you want to remove, plus, gravity will cause the penetrating oil to run into the driveshaft/powerhead joint.

    Powerhead removal

    Stick a can of penetrating oil, with a long tube in that slot and give the driveshaft a blast. I do not think it will do anything, but you never know. Wood wedges can help as well.

    Powerhead removal

    There might be a nut or two under the carbs. However, It makes a whole lot of sense to pull the gearcase. There should be 5 nuts, a bolt or screw that holds the zinc anode plus one more bolt under the anode. you can install the gearcase really easy, later, if you pull it now.

    Gee, wouldn't it depend on who made the engine for Sears? Some were Mccullough, some were Eska, some were other brands. You also might check the Sears Parts web site as they have some surprising stuff still avail.

    Powerhead removal

    Shift link nut is #10 in his diagram. If you don't remove it, you will pull the shift rod out of the midsection. The others you will need to look for.

    Trims down, not up, not solenoid?

    On one pivot point, where the outdrive pivots for trim, is the trim gauge sender, the other is the trim limit switch. These are open to the water and often fail.

    Should I redo the pink RV antifreeze that I already used last week to winterize Merc 5.0?

    Look on the port side of the engine. The raw water hose will run from the thermostat housing to the P/S cooler and then to the outdrive. You can also trace the P/S hoses to the cooler.

    Should I redo the pink RV antifreeze that I already used last week to winterize Merc 5.0?

    Dump some antifreeze into the raw water hose that runs to the P/S cooler. You should see it run out the water intakes on the outdrive, after it chases the water out.

    Blower hook up and location?.....

    Cyclops, That is the wrong procedure, although it seems to make sense. The USCG approved procedure is to turn everything off including the blower and close all hatches. Closing the hatches helps keep gas vapors out of the boat. Now gas up the boat. When the fueling is done, turn on the...

    Is switching to Aftermarket reeds worth it?

    Some of those earlier V6 motors had fixed idle jets. The carbs must be spotless and the floats exactly set right to work properly.

    Barefoot skiers?

    My speedboat was plenty fast for barefooting. My friend removed the toe piece from a slalom ski and wore his flat bottom sneakers. He would yell "hit it" and jam the ski onto his feet and do a deep water slalom start. After a short time he put his left foot down and just let the ski fall off...

    Stuck Transom Wood

    I replaced the transom in my speedboat from the outside, as I did not want to separate the cap. The cap on that boat is real small and not real strong. Removing it would have meant some sort of lifting cradle and more hands to pull it off. I did keep some of the transom near the gunwales to...
