Nice. Always fun working on boats. 😜
LOL! Too a point, nice to drive them also. Thanks Matt!
Yaa yes remember changing mine. I had a newer alpha unit, had the reservoir. You definitely made it look easy.
Don't know why CZcams did not notify of new episodes,
Thanks Man! Guess I'll find out soon if I did a good job LOL!
Took my lower unit off of my boat one time, an OMC stern drive, I cursed and had a hell of a time to get it back on. Glad it went easy for you.
Ya I was kinda surprised that it went on fairly easily, hope it's right LOL! Thanks Man!
Thank you, video was a great help Thanks!
Glad it helped, thanks David!
I may get some arguments here, but watching him struggle putting the lower half back on is the exact reason why I REMOVE THE ENTIRE DRIVE when I do a water pump job. I don't separate the halves until it's securely in my vise/jig. It's really not that more difficult or time consuming to remove the entire drive. You also get a chance to look at your gimball bearing, grease it, check engine alignment, etc.
A small piece of 2x4 placed at the very top of the drive will help pop your drive loose from the gimball. This is in the manual, or it is in mine. Anyone in reasonable heath can do this by themselves. Two people would be safer of course as these drives are awkward and can slip out of your hands, etc.
BE SAFE and GOOD LUCK!
Thanks Billy! I just did the bearing and exhaust bellows put it back together and now decided to do the water impeller, so didn't want to take the whole unit off again.
Can't wait to get on the water. Friday is boat prep. Planning to launch Friday early evening in Wiarton.
Nice! Hoping to maybe get out at least once this Long Weekend to do a test run. Thanks Marty!
Good job and I can't believe you didn't break at least one bolt !!! Where did you get that knee pad that you were using ? I have been looking for something like that.
I got one at a safety supply store, ant-fatigue mat.
Anti. Dont really mind of Robs ants get tired.
I bought it from Canadian Tire here in town, called a anti-fatigue matt. Save the knees, or what's left of them. Thanks Vance!
Fred LOL! My ants get tired too...and I get tired of them LOL!
Did you by chance find the torque specs for those (and any other) bolts? If so, could you share? Thanks!
I didn't find anything concrete, lots of numbers out there and I'm not sure which is which. I couldn't get to a couple bolts and nuts to torque anything anyway.
Hey Rob, do you have any adventures planned over in the Fort Frances area this summer?
Not that I can think of, haven't really looked into that area too much. Wouldn't mind going back to Sphene Fire Tower and seeing if anything has changed at the resort. Thanks Doug!
@@OutdoorRob There is lots of history on that road. Long before there was vehicle access up the Dryden highway, that road was a major portage route between the steamboats running Rainy Lake and the logging camps up on the upper and lower Manitou Lakes.
Cool! Thanks Doug!
