    Transom Leak Help

    Thanks for trying to help guys, I clearly understand the problem here on an internet forum with just a couple photos. If the transom was rotten this thing would likely be at the bottom right now. Imagine this....3000lb (approx) at 20 mph (approx) bottomed out on mud where the transom suffers...

    "File too large" Type less think more. Anyway, to answer more of my questions. Type M (318535) alternatives according to my manual are Scotch Grip 1300 (982551) and Quicksilver Bellows Adhesive (92-86166-1).

    Transom Leak Help

    Sure you would, but you can't even download and watch a video. Seems to be too much to ask of you. Keyboard warrior if I have ever seen one. Been a great help.

    Transom Leak Help

    Raise your hand if you watched the video. I suppose you guys would change the transom after looking at a photo. A marine mechanic said it was solid I have stabbed the thing repeatedly with a screwdriver as shown in the video and can see it is clearly solid.

    Transom Leak Help

    Having trouble determining part numbers for the seals. Anyone know where I might find them? It is the SX-M that I believe is dated '98 in a 2000. Shopping list according to my Clymer manual to reinstall Intermediatte Housing and Transom Shield Bracket: 1. Transom Seal; 2. Exhaust Pipe Seal; 3...

    Transom Leak Help

    Download that video and watch it. Maybe camera angle makes it look swollen as you said. There is no swelling it's actually indented from the pressue at the bottom where the washer plate sits.

    Transom Leak Help

    Figged it out...I think. When I bottomed out the washer plate was bent and an impression was made in the wood loosening the seal at the bottom of the transom. The seal being smashed for 21 years did not maintain elasticity allowing the leak to occur through the keyhole and out through the washer...

    Transom Leak Help

    I finally got off my rump today and pulled the engine and outdrive. Will photograph tomorrow and do some inspecting. Knowing what many of us have gone through with our older boats I can't image the bill if the transom needs replaced. Not sure if I even trust a local boat shop to fix this...

    Transom Leak Help

    Took it to the local boat shop and I did get SOME good news-transom is "solid". Bad news: motor is coming out and it will cost over a grand to fix.

    Transom Leak Help

    Thanks for the input guys. I agree hitting bottom flexed it too much resulting in a leak. Gonna see what a local shop says about it next week. Hoping the local boat shop has the tool to scan the transom and see if it is rotted. It appears water is coming in here (see arrow). The stringers are...

    Transom Leak Help

    I can pretty much guarantee she broke from hitting bottom...not rot. The question is severity.

    Transom Leak Help

    2000 Larson 186Lxi w/ Volvo SX Well I'm back after a few trouble-free seasons. :) There I was cruising along about 20mph minding my own business and suddenly we all lurch forward with the boat slowing rapidly. I looked back and saw the mud trail and immediately cut throttle and raised the...

    Backfiring out of Carburetor

    '99 4.3GL PWTR The timing is set and is dead on. Boat runs excellent, except when I accelerate sharply then it pops or backfires out of the carburetor. Rebuilt carb and it is doing the same thing after the rebuild. If I run it up slowly and wait for the ICM to advance the timing at 2500 RPMS...

    Making a boat cover

    I must make a cover for my boat as I really need my garage back. Boat is taking up both stalls in the garage atm. Will use the old Singer 15-91 that WOG talked me into buying last summer for my Larson interior project. Certainly think it is up to the task. Machine did one heck of a job on the...

    Timing Question

    With the engine running I connect the +12v wire from the shunt and the timing does not change at all based on ear and the location of the mark on the harmonic balancer. I set timing to the only notch on the timing chain cover w/shunt connected to +12v. Motor bump starts, but pops when I rev it...

    Setting Timing 4.3GL-PWTR

    I have a '99 Year Model in my 2000 Larson. Rebuilt engine last year and tried to set the timing. When I hooked the shunt to 12V the engine did not change RPMs in the slightest and I was never able to get the timing marks to line up while engine was idling. Tried hooking up before and after the...

    Fresh/Seawater Water Impeller Kit

    I have a 2000 Larson with the 4.3GL-PWTR (believe this is a '99 engine). Went to boatinfo.no and downloaded all of the related manuals. Not entirely certain the manuals are correct for this engine. Manual does not properly depict what I have exactly. When I removed the two hoses and the bracket...
