    Replacing transom foam seal

    Best to replace it while it’s apart. Why take a chance on leaking and rot?

    E90ELEUC Starter housing blew apart? Not sure what happend. Please assist!

    On the 2nd pic, looks like a spot for a roll pin or retainer hole. There should be one to stop the gear from moving past the stop.

    Shrink wrap over radome

    Around here the shrink wrappers put a styrofoam block next to/or on both sides of the radar or other devices that may get damaged. When unwrapping in the spring we save the blocks for the wrappers to re-use the next time. I suppose that they got blamed for damages in the past and this keeps them...

    Volvo Penta 7.4 GL Slight Water in Oil

    I get some condensation on my small lake. It needs a good hard run to burn off the condensation. On Lake Superior, it does not get milky by any means. On the 340-acre lake I have to go wide open for a few laps to get it to burn off.

    Alpha one gen II leaking water near hydraulic hoses

    I agree with Bondo. I changed all the bellows, shift cable and gimbal. Still leaked. The trim manifold gasket was the culprit. But now I know everything is going to be perfect for years to come. Don't scrimp on aftermarket bellows, I worked at a place that used them a lot and they would come...

    Smoking Engine and Mercruiser ignition switch question

    Never had to pull a manifold to do the starter. I tie a string to ti and drag it out/ in with that. Yes getting your arms under there is a real challenge on some.

    Trolling Motor Help

    I can’t help you but I’m going to hang out and see what others have to say. Being an older motor it may be hard to find parts or specs for it. Hope there is a plate that states amp draw and such.

    Fuel Water Separator

    Actually I should have said make sure the vent line has the proper drip loop and clear.

    I have a leak.

    That hydrolic hose block gasket got me. I changed all the bellows and it still leaked. Found that block gasket bad.

    Yeah. Stainless is a weird one. I think the op doesn't know that.

    Smoking Engine and Mercruiser ignition switch question

    The impeller is stainless steel, so the rubber wasn't that. Stainless impeller? Never heard of that, have a link or picture of one??

    I miss my boat already.

    Withdrawal is hard. I visualize the new owner abusing them when daydreaming. However, I gave away a 1985 deep-v Sylvan to a friend, I acquired it free also, but I didn't run it or test it at all. He's been using it and calls me with questions when needed. He works on one of the apostle islands...

    winter cover

    I get 2 years out of the blue tarps. But I make sure they are out of the wind as much as possible and clean off the snow regularly. I also make a teepee type support so the snow can slide off easily.

    Winner 1850cc rear hatch?

    Ok Regardless, it should come out without cutting the area. Did you try to pry it out slowly and carefully.it could be glued down, did you try any adhesive remover along the edges? On another note, did you take a skinny pic and prod the holes to see if there are screws down deep?
