Thanks everyone for the great ideas on removing the coupler from the prop shaft. Now my question is, if the coupler comes off that hard how am I going to reinstall the coupler? It is a 1 1/2 in dia shaft for a 270hp Crusader. Is it a taper fit on to the shaft? Everything looks clean, no...
Trying to remove the transmission coupling from the prop shaft. The coupling has two set screws and a shaft key. After loosing the set screws, I tap on it with a hammer but it dose not move. Is there a tool, or a technique that is required to remove the coupling from the shaft?
Connected 270 Crusader engine to hot water heater. On the engine I used standard galvanize plumming fittings. Now I see Crusader Manual says to only use brass fittings. Why?
I have 1988 270 Crusaders. Colsed cooling. There is no coolent flow through the hot water heater to produce hot water. Both supply hose and return hose get hot for just a couple of feet.
