    Will this prop bearing carrier break apart if removed?

    no, the shifting of outboards is done in the foot, so only the prop seal is spinning in neutral. the shaft seal wont turn unless the pistons are turning the crank

    Volvo Penta Steering Stiff

    can you grab the cable with two fingers and pull it stop to stop, thus spinning the steering wheel? if there is a fair amount of resistance, the cable wont move the actuator quickly

    How to get boat launched daily when Travel Trailer camping?

    once you add shipping and incidentals you will be more than buying it and having it delivered I would still throw the boat on top your truck. stand it up, slide on top your truck cap, throw the motor in the back

    1990 Sea Ray 160, Mercruiser 3.0 with Alpha one gen 1

    Volvo Penta 740B raw water cooling

    bud of mine's company makes a cavitation gun for the navy. it uses seawater and a high-pressure pump. what comes out of the nozzle is a stream of bubbles. as they burst, they explode the barnacles. the video is cool as heck.

    Volvo Penta 740B raw water cooling

    on the VP's and bravo's, we recommended a plastic immersion pump, a large tub, pull the impeller and use a set of muffs as the pratice the immersion pump pumps the BB thru the system, and comes back out the exhaust and idle reliefs back into the tub. let it run for a half hour, then dispose of...
