This probably isn't going to help but watch it anyway. The last section is the worst case scenario:( https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&ei=UTF-8&p=yamaha+lower+unit+stuck+video&type=E211US1289G91653#id=2&vid=98be87eb5549300831e7d82c78386da2&action=click

Could be many things. I am not sure what you mean about the one engine running about 300 revs lower than the other. Are you saying that when the throttles are lined up, one motor revs slower? That could be simply a cable that needs adjustment or perhaps a bad cable. To tell, look at the...

Is the thing with a foot shape in the background your tongue jack?

Missed that... I usually leave the shifter in neutral during removal but sometimes for assembly, I will shift both the control and the lower unit into a gear (it doesn't matter but both the same) if the drive shaft splines don't want to line up. It is also possible to rotate the flywheel a tad...

They moved the tank forward to compensate for what engine weight. Was the standard motor for 2002 model year the 4 stroke? I actually thought it was a bit later. The 208 bare hull got 200 pounds heavier at one point in time and I always thought that was due to extra weight aded up front to...

This might be the post. I am not sure if that is what you need https://www.greatgrady.com/threads/original-equipment-captain-chair.33438/#post-225329

If you are referring to the white slides and not the round bushing, there is a thread on this site from a poster who found a source for the slides. I don't remember the name of the member but doing a search for seat slides, bushings etc will probably find the source. If I get a chance I will...

The gear position for removal and installation depends on the specific lower unit make and model

The fact that you feel ventilation at a specific rev range may be a clue as to what is going on. I would guess that at that rev speed the hull is stratin to get on plane and as it does, the props will be higher as the bow lowers and the hull lifts up. If the props and ventilation plates are too...

No, if there is some water in the LU you will see white to creamy streaks in the oil or as I had recently liquid that looked like cream of mushroom soup. Not a good sign:)

That seam is the mating area between the gear casing/water pump and the midsection. If the lower unit has water intrusion the oil will mix and may overflow into that are and seep out. It is possible that the oil drained down from the power head oil pan into the midsection and into the water...

Its hard to tell from that photo what is going on. At some point in time the leading edge of the anti-ventilation plate too some sort of serious hit to break resulting in the missing section. That may have cracked the gear case. As mentioned, the engine model type will help a bit in diagnosing...

Has the boat been repowered? The picture to me is not gel coat cracks. It looks like something serious and structural. It is possible that it could be freeze related. Is the hull stored in an area that has freezing weather? Can you also post a picture of the boat on the trailer? I would like...

I guess I wasn't one of the first. 30s???? Heck, Im a baby boomer:)

Yup, it's a big job.

Here in the NY are, we had a chain of stores call Lafayette Electronics. They carried all kinds of electrical components in addition to consumer electronics. I clearly remember going to one for a demonstration of a new thing called surround sound. It was 4 channel that was broadcast by 2 FM...

The poly tanks can last a long time but 33 years is a pretty long time:) It is possible that Moeller still makes a poly tank that will fit. Is it the 82 gallon size? If you go the route of replacing everything, replace the gas filler fitting too. You may find additional issues when you pull the...

I would also leave the dingy at the mooring. Although the 232 is a 'big' boat, it is a big Small boat

Like I said, sounds like a fun:)

I think what we just learned is that the OP is talking about buying an insurace write off boat and plans on flipping the boat after fixing the damage and possible swapping his older motors with the insurance boat motors. He would end up with newer motors and also a Marlin (model year??) to sell...
