I've got an old beam type, used it for many motor rebuilds. Got it from NAPA 40 years ago, its been a good one. We have a three ft. Snap on at work for some of the big stuff I work on in the steel mill, glad I didn't have to buy that one. I have Craftsman, Armstrong, Proto and Snap on tools at...

Well said Charlie! It was a good day here in NC. We had all three kids, their spouses and all 6 grandkids, a house full! Just found out we've got another grandchild on the way! Helped the wife cook all the usual, turkey, dressing, gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, collards w/...

Happy Thanksgiving Guys! Hope you all had a good one!

Ebasicpower.com had the parts you probably need. two cam seals FED471570 and a Cover Timing gasket kit @ 14.95. Check em out, they deliver fast!

Hey D, look up Sterndrive.com, Mercruiser 3.7 coolant leak. Its pretty good info for what you're getting into. I had to replace my seals and pump cover gasket once. Wasn't too bad. My camshaft was ok not grooved, just the seals were old and had hardened from sitting up. I did it in an afternoon...

I rebuilt mine back in 06. I cut the inside skin out with a grinder and cutting wheels to expose all the rotten wood. Cleaned it all out and glassed in marine plywood in three pieces and glassed it back over. I drilled a bunch of small holes in the outerskin and used wood screws and washers to...

Glad you're all ok! Sorry to hear about the V, hopefully it can be fixed. I know you just spent a lot on it to get it back in shape, maybe you can bring it back again. Wish I lived closer I'd be glad to help! We were lucky it turned and went right around us.

Years ago I got a Clymer manual off ebay cheap. Its helped me out a lot. If you have to buy any parts shop the internet thoroughly! Ive had good luck getting stuff from Ebasicpower! Also found some good used parts on ebay. I lucked up and found a complete motor that was frozen up from lack of...

Yeah I love these motors! They're easy to repair. Sounds like you're losing the coolant somewhere. Check your waterpump seals on the front of the engine. Left side facing it look for weep hole under the internal waterpump. Could be leaking inside the heat exchanger or riser. If the oil looks...

All Ok here! Garage (Lee) had his trawler hauled out, they're ok. Florence came in around Wilmington, we're still getting rain off of it.

Haha! That's pretty good!

Oh yeah! We're all ready here in Gates County. It looks like its turning south from us here. Yall farther down from me please be careful! Its a bad one! Good job with the Pipe Dream, Yall take care of them V's!!! Ive been off for a few days, been hot and nice here. My buddy lives in Kitty Hawk...

Yep, Florence looks pretty nasty. We're keeping a close eye on it. I got 4 generators and bought 130.00 worth of 93 non-ethanol for them. We rode out Isabel at 96 mph winds, that was scary! Our house is 101 years old, seen some bad ones come by. If its stronger than Isabel I'm going inland...

Test #2

Oh yeah, I've used them many times! King inserts work very good too! Kinda wanted to get into some fresh aluminum in the manifold. So far so good.

Finally got to take the V out yesterday. Ran the same course as before, ran perfect! Never got over 165 degrees. No problems ! Enjoyed a beautiful hot day on the river with my wife!!

I replaced mine years ago. Went to Lowes and bought small aluminum angle and riveted it back to the slider. Refinished the teak wood guides and reinstalled them. Some guys have used starboard. Was pretty easy. Hope this is what you're describing.
