This old Boat
 

Having a 32 year old boat you better be handy or rich.

Pulled the motors again to chase an oil leak, plus freshen them up a little (had them out 3 years ago also)

Nice Job Mike. They look brand new. How is the tower holding up?

Mike, I'm not sure what happens more...me getting laid or you taking out those engines...nice work.

Spoke too soon. This is how we spent our Saturday. Oil was hemorrhaging from in between the block and the bellhousing, Thought it blew the rear main seal !

luckily I could pull just the trans out just lifting the block a little bit and removing the exhaust

There's an oil passage that runs out the back of the block and through the bellhousing

Good job Mike.
Luckily you can do those kind of repairs.
You would have lost the entire season if not.

With boats........It's always something.
Now go fishing.

Great Job!! Good luck with the rest of the season.
