    Front motor mount stringer 1987 Larson 16ft

    Leaky, will 26lb Bluewater Coosa hold Lag bolts? My current thinking is to make a 15in by 15in by 2in thick composite using epoxy and wood powder to hold the lag bolts and volcanic fibers for strength. Do you think this would work considering the vibration of the engine and the pull on engine...

    Front motor mount stringer 1987 Larson 16ft

    Thanks bondo, stringers in the 1987 Larson appear to be solid wood although I do not know what kind. Unfortunately they did not completely cover them with cloth and resin, only 6 inches up. The uncovered part rotted and was continuing down. Motor support stringer was not covered on the bottom...

    Steering Cable Nut does it turn or is it part of cable

    So do you mean heat and oil on the cable nut to cable connection or is this hopeless. Is there no way to free the cable nut from the cable so that it can turn without twisting the cable?

    Steering Cable Nut does it turn or is it part of cable

    The nut is loosened from the tube and the tube is secure and not turning. The nut seams to be stuck to the cable and when turning the nut (tube is not rotating it is secured) the cable turns with the nut twisting the cable. I can not get the nut to turn without turning the cable even if I hold...

    Steering Cable Nut does it turn or is it part of cable

    I am trying to remove the steering cable from the tube in a 16’ Larson Citation inboard/outdrive (mercruser alpha). I have loosened the cable nut but as I try to remove it, the cable body twist with it and I would not like to destroy the cable until I have things (tube and outdrive) freed up to...
