Dont have anyone I can call, will try the slide hammer and see of ot comes loose without wrenching on it too hard. If it dont come out easily may try to just put lower unit on and see what happens, dont think it was causing issues before so maybe will be fine - issue know sure how to tell of...

Let's hope the slide hammer works, cutting out sounds like problems.

I need to replace the driveshaft on my 1996 s150. I got the circlip out but cant budge the bushing. I ordered a blind slide hammer, but was wondering if anyone has replaced this before and has any tips. Thanks.

Turns out for sure it is the driveshaft bushing (the pictures from my last post), I got the split ring key but cant slide the bearing out. Ordered a blind hammer puller and the bearing/washer. Will report back afterwards.

It appears to be these two parts (if look careful can see part of the metal clip/ends in the pictures). I dont see a rubber oring though in the schematic, and from the picture on another site looks like that isthe rubber "oring". Anyone ever mess with replacing before - really would prefer not...

Had to drop lower unit (first time for me on a yamaha) to replace the waterpump (see my other post - was overheating). Wondering if any maintenance to do while lower unit is off and I wait for parts, took a peak up exhaust and noticed difference from port (looks greasier) the starboard. Should I...

Thanks, saved me from ordered a housing I didnt need. I am gonna watch the video and go from there (I watched one a month or two ago and thought i would remember... yea so....). Will wait for the other parts to come in the mail and report back.

I prefer the metric, can imagine the headache if the hex strips again (and given the get stuck sometimes metric makes me feel better). Just need to find one

Had to drop lower unit and had a hard time getting the trim anode hex bolt out. It was stripping and got lucky by wrapping some electrolic tape and and tapping in with rubber mallet. Anyone know of there is a standard bolt replacement. Found one on amazon but comments say they send a hex...

Can anyone tell me if the pump housing should have a channel all the way around. I can see why the gasket got torn, as even with greasy cant get it to stay put. Assuming I will need a new housing but wanted to confirm first. Another of thing, new impeller has plastic housing where old one was...

I opened up the water pump, and a few issues (hoping this is it and wont need to mess with poppet or thermos). Issue 1 - black jacket that goes on bottom of pump housing was missing about an inch (see pictire). Funny thing, is I changed thermostats last year and found a piece of what I thought...

No water pees unless engine is started, and it takes a 10 15 second to start once i start it up. Same water set up as always and never an issue (I start up in a tub but it doesn't come up high enough so use muffs and prop just under water so muffle some noise). Actually - now that you say it I...

Will def check, just changed them out last year. Dripped the lower unit and gonna do the waterpump then go back to the drawer board. Thanks for the reply.

So started the boat today for first time this season, started right up but had a little bit of a high idle around 1400 (usually does then comes back down once warm to around 7) when I heard the dreaded overheat after about 1 or 2minutes.Tell tale took a minute to start working and seemed a...

I dont know of any that would work with a bimini up (also a lot of weight from the cover leaning on your support posts). Hardtop cover seems like the best option.

Here is the link, 5 year warranty for around 200 bucks. https://www.empirecovers.com/detail.aspx?p=B1200&v=B1230G6

I have a 1995 adventure and bought this cover from empire covers for a little over 200 bucks shipped. Comes with a good warranty (forget if it was 3 or 5 years) and has held up great so far. I keep a cover on all year for se reason as you and have found of you but some thin PVC, and make a small...

About that, add the 150-250 lb person standing up there.

Would think the marlin with another 10 feet would be fine, the adventure is a small boat so just looked top heavy.

Check out this one for sale on Facebook market. Looks pretty cool, but very top heavy.
