    Broken Back Rest Fitting

    Well, this is a long shot but I have a 1999 ex-cop boat BWCHD1170999 and the two fittings that attach the lower arm of the back rest have broken as shown in the pictures. I do not know who manufactured the seat nor where to source the fittings. Any help much appreciated.

    Volvo Penta DPS Tilt System

    I have a 1997 Colbalt 223 bowrider with a Volvo Penta DPS outdrive. I pulled the outdrive and had great trouble getting the trim cylinder rear rod out of the outdrive upper unit. When I went to put the rod back I noticed a bolt going up the middle of the drive unit obstructing the placement of...

    Mercruiser outdrive horizontal alignment

    I appreciate all the help. I liken this to getting a restaurant table to stop wobbling. The reason the port transom gap was bigger than the starboard side is that the starboard front mount was lower than it should have been and this lifted the port rear mount. Seems that the front motor mount...

    Mercruiser outdrive horizontal alignment

    The rear mounts looked okay but when I reinstalled the engine there was a bigger gap between the port side bell housing and transom support than on the starboard side thus the mounts may be defective and the engine cocked a bit. I appreciate your thoughts.

    Mercruiser outdrive horizontal alignment

    I have an '88 Cobalt with a Mercruiser 4.3 engine. The coupler splines stripped out presumably because the engine and outdrive were not aligned. I have replaced the coupler. I can align the coupler in the vertical direction by raising and lowering the front of the motor but the alignment is off...
