I’ll be replacing the lines from the trim pump down to the aluminum distribution block next week.
I have the new lines and the 27-98823 gasket that seals the block to the transom. My question is regarding the mercathode that bolts to the bottom of the distribution block. How is that sealed to...
I know this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find the thread. I am looking for the bimini pad eyes that the forward bimini straps clip onto. The center to center spacing of the bolt holes is 1 1/8" on my 2007 240 Sundeck. Various replacements I've found have a larger spacing...
There’s been a lot of discussion regarding how to properly winterize and protect the engine from freeze damage. Particularly the raw water cooled small block with single point drain system.
I decided to gather some data and present it here so you can be better informed about how well that...
I came across this on eBay.

I’m helping a friend with his 2006 Stingray 200LS 4.3 TKS motor with alpha 1 Gen 2 outdrive.
It has a very noisy gimble bearing and the remote reservoir is filled right to the top, actually overfilled because oil leaks out of the top when the cap is removed.
I tried to remove the drive today...

It never fails.....every year when I remove the outdrive, I forget to remove the speedometer pitot.
I'm pulling and tugging on the drive before I remember that its still attached. It's been bent and twisted every which way over the last few years but refuses to break!
If only everything else...
I have a Shurflow 3901-2214 3.5 gpm fresh water pump that just quit on me.

I have found the 94-238-03 lower housing repair kit that looks exactly like what I need, but it is for the...

With the thread dried out and the cushions cracked and opened up along several seams, I’ve decided to take on a winter’s long project of making new covers for the cushions.
Before shrink wrapping, I removed all of the cushions. The captain chairs are in good shape, so I dont plan on tackling...
Heres a problem I encountered last month and how it was resolved. Hope it helps someone in the future.
2007 240 Sundeck 350 MAG BIII W/DTS
Engine started fine, but 3 seconds after shifting into forward, the smartcraft alarm beeps and a shift error shows on the screen. Same thing when shifting...
Here's something I ran into last week, hope it helps/prevents a problem for others.
Occasionally the speedometer wouldn't work while running on plane, and I would just wait until I reached my destination. Briefly shifting into reverse usually cleared anything blocking the pitot, and all would...
