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)




Trans coolers, preventative as the old ones did not have zincs


Cleaned all coolers and heat exchangers with muratic acid


Team Yanmar, This kid is the best helper I've ever had. He is really invested in this project!


All cleaned up and ready to roll. (oil leak was an Oring)




Little bilge prep


Dropping them back in

Excellent!

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

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







.69 Cent part @ 8 hours labor !!


Got her fixed up in time to take the family to Rockport

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.
