My throttle and shifter cables are adjusted as the manual specifies, the shifter works fine, but i get a decent 'clunk' noise when shifting into forward or reverse, and I can see that the spark cutout switch is not moving. Nothing bad, no grinding, just a hard shift sound from a lack of spark...

I'm having some significant gear lube leakage from my drive, but it holds pressure. For anyone with knowledge and interested, here's a link to my post under the 'engines' section. Thanks...

I have a 1983 R drive that I am going to replace the upper gearcase seals in. I see that I am supposed to use some special tools when measuring the gear heights along with feeler gauges. My question is, does anyone know of an improvised version of these special insertion tools that I can...

Hello. I'm afraid that I've been guilty of making a few posts in the Vintage forum without properly introducing myself here. Apologies. I have just picked up my first Sea Ray a month ago, and it's also my first I/O. I have experience with vintage outboards and runabouts, but this is something...

Today was the first time I had my boat on the water. I'm glad to say that the boat ran great. I ran it around for about 2 hours at 3000-3800 rpm and I am very pleased, so far. The boat reads 810 hours. After pulling it from the water I drained the lower unit and the lube came out nice and...

I am trying to remove the shift lever in order to repair the throttle control box. Please see the photo for the type that I have. I have everything loose except for the lever itself. Under the "engine only" button, there does not appear to be a nut keeping the lever on, but perhaps some kind of...

Hello everyone. I just purchased a 1983 Sea Ray 210 with the 260 hp motor. I have owned and rebuilt a couple of 90 hp outboards, but this is my first experience as an owner of an I/O setup. Can someone tell me how I can find out such what brand and model of out drive I have? I'd like to get...
