Thank you both! So this was for of my first winterizing process. With some things done and the boat covered, Think I can wait until spring to change the engine oil, filter and fuel filter? I did not dog the carb either 😅
I got the engine and out drive full of antifreeze and changed out drive...
Something that should be easy has thrown me for a loop. Probably just because I’m a bit overwhelmed by winterizing for the first time.
Anyways wanted to change the oil during a winterization process before a cold snap. I thought I bought the right water fuel filter and oil filter but when the...
Thank you! Pink to green wire test this moring spiked the gauge to full and vice versa. Is it possible the float is stuck and I could pull the sender for an adjustment (smack it lol) temporarily until I get another? Idk if the sender has a gasket that will be ruined if I removed to check it...
A small oil drip from the upper shift shaft lead to water in the reservoir. I’m working on replacing the transom shift shaft seals. In the meantime I pressure tested the upper and lower unit. It held pressure but when I fiddled with the lower shaft shaft it would loose air. So being the genius I...
Let’s say the gauge read like a 1” tape measure. Empty or zero with the key off. 7/8 when the key is on so not quite full but idk it’s always been that way ( all 7 days I’ve owned the boat). Removed the green wire no change. Full yes but didn’t move from 7/8. Reconnected green and disconnected...
just bought the boat and had on the water once for three hours. I got 10 gallons prior to the trip and the gauge never moved.It reads almost full with the ignition on. It did not move when filling. After three hours of light cruising (getting to know the boat), the gauge never moved. The gauge...

Pulled the outdrive. Found blown out upper shift shaft seal was gone. I did not see oil in the bellows in the transom. I’ll be replacing the seal and praying lol. I pressure tested the upper and lower unit together over night and it held. I rotated the union shaft and the lower shift shaft and...
Took the boat out today after cleaning up the drip and trimming down over night. No visible leaking this morning. Ran great and we were out fro about 3 hrs. Didn’t notice much oil removed from the reservoir but I think some did. I kept checking it and finally saw the oil in the reservoir looked...
Thank you .
Are the shaft seals not in the lower part entering the drive? This leak comes from the shift shafts L connection to I guess the shift cable or rod in the upper housing but I think that part of the housing is just an open cavity seperate from the drive. There’s an opening in the...
Could I drive it a time or two before tearing down? Someone mentioned water could get in there and ruin things . We just bought reason I ask. Haven’t Even drove it yet lol
