    Sharp Door Stop

    Remove it completely. Make a rounded tab out of teak and screw it down. It don’t have to be that tall, it’s to keep the door from moving out/in flopping around. Not really stop, but ,a retainer.

    Firing order

    When re-assembling, put a dab of blue locktite on the screws. It’ll help keep them in place in the future.

    Broken engine to outdrive - what am I looking at?

    I have to ask: Why was it at the mechanic? Seems to me it had an issue and that would be why. Yup, you need a new assembly. Just had a volvo in the shop for blown u-joints, same thing happend. Wrecked the entire thing.

    Dies when key is released.

    Check for power at the coil with the key on but not running. If none, check the cannon plug on the motor and make sure the connections are clean and the plug is inserted completely. That's just a starting point for diagnostics.

    year 6 on my battery. Charge late fall, disconnect, put winter cover on and forget about it. Top off in spring, go boating. We also get to -40 at times here.

    Help with very old Pontoon repair

    It may take awhile for the leak to show. The low air pressure will have to push the water out first.

    V belt

    Try tightening them first. No that Allen screw in the middle of the pulley is not for changing the belts. Look closely behind/around the pump, you will see the brackets. A loose alternator belt will squeal easily if it’s loose. You can go to your local automotive parts store and get new belts...

    Screw Sealant - Fiberglass Deck

    I use lifeseal, or the 4000. Which ever I have on hand. Also I chamfer every hole, it helps so the gel oat don’t crack, and helps seal the screw better.

    Removing wax marks from gelcoat

    Yeah. If the gel oat was chalky, it’s a bugger to wax without compounding first. Even at that it may not turn out perfect. Take the previous advice and good luck. We are all pullin for ya.

    Can the base of engine work? Two to bolts under engine are rusted and can

    If it slides in with little effort it’s good. Let’s see the entire shaft after you pull it out.

    Can the base of engine work? Two to bolts under engine are rusted and can

    If it doesn’t turn in any direction you have the wrong bearing. I looked back at your pics, it does look like the correct bearing. Try this: put the alignment bar in, but not engaged wi the coupler. Lift up on the bar. I bet it moves the bearing. Some are rather stiff, but do “ gimbal “

    Can the base of engine work? Two to bolts under engine are rusted and can

    Tap the alignment bar up, down and side to side. That centers the gimbal bearing. Be sure the bar goes in all the way. Use a dead blow hammer to tap it. Then check the alignment.

    As I said, the bar should go in further. So no it’s not aligned yet. You may be close but not close enough.

    gas prices

    We still have about half of the boats on the hard at the marina. We had to start launching late as the ice and weather didn’t like us much. Still alot of them haven’t asked to be launched. Strange season so far.

    Your alignment bar should go all the way in to the step on the shaft. If you don’t have issues shifting, the cables are ok.

    Bow/Hull access 2002 Tracker Tahoe Q3

    Remove the interior in that area. Other than that you may have to put a deck plate in the area that fits a 6” hole you may have to drill.
