    Exhaust bellow replacement

    I am installing my 270 outdrive and am having a heck of a time re-attaching the exhaust bellows. Any tips for a rookie?

    Well, I broke my fork

    Well, out on the lake the week of the 4th we had a good time running the boat around with minimal issues. Hard to hold on course with a serious pull to the port side was the main one. When we put the boat back on the trailer at the end of the week I found a broken suspension fork. I was having...

    I have another schematic that describes the nut I am referring to as Part #6 BRAKE NUT.

    270 outdrive lift parts

    I have the outdrive lift assembly out of my boat and the screw bearing part is toast. Other parts look okay. Can I just get this part?

    Best practice - cleaning electrical connections

    What is the best way to clean and protect the large harness connections like the one that comes from the helm to the engine compartment? Several connections in a block that is 25 years old? Not in bad shape but how do I clean the little female blade connections and do I use something like...

    neutral switch

    Where is my neutral switch on my 1984 Bayliner 5.0 with the 275 outdrive? Ricardo rebuilt my transmission last winter and I finally got to take it out and run it. It ran fine, shifts fine, until I got too far down the lake and it would not start or shift into reverse. I got a chance today to...

    Another 270 outdrive lift question

    When my outdrive is all the way down should the plunger that trips the micro switch be all the way up? My outdrive is all the way down right now but the plunger is not high enough to trip the micro switch and deactivate the light.

    alternator/starter question

    While I have the 225E engine out of my 86 Bayliner I decided to go through my starter and alternator. The starter was working fine but I didn't seem to be getting much charge from my alternator. Well, it seems my local inexpensive rebuild guy is nowhere to be found so I am looking at doing it...

    engine stand suggestions

    I need to come up with a simple engine stand for my 225E while I work on my pds bearings. I gave away my engine stand a while back during a move. I don't need a regular stand-up engine stand I just want a good way to put it on the floor while I do some work and don't want to set it on the pan...

    water inlet connection

    It has been recommended that I replace my water inlet connection while my 275 upper drive is off. Is this a wear part? It doesn't look like it would necessarily go bad. It's not an inexpensive part so I'm wondering what the rationale is for changing. Thanks :cool:

    engine removal

    I am about to remove my 225E engine and was wondering about removing the heat risers first so I'm not wrestling the exhaust hoses while I am lifting the engine? And how far forward does the engine have to go before I can tilt and lift? I have less than two inches before my water pump gets in the...

    Staring engine without outdrive 1984 5.0

    I have the top unit off of my 275 outdrive. I have an '84 5.0 Volvo-Penta engine and am wondering if it hurts anything to start the motor without the outdrive attached. Will the fresh water cooling system be sufficient for short term running? I have a starting issue I want to troubleshoot while...
