Nice video always learning. Not looking forward to pulling my unit apart but the water pump probably needs changing and I’m going to try it myself without taking it into a marine dealership to do it.
WOW! I SURE DON'T MISS THE COLD WEATHER UP NORTH IN NEW YORK! BEEN IN WONDERFUL "WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA" FOR ALMOST 14 YEARS NOW, AND OUR WINTERS ARE GREAT! WINTER TEMPS AVERAGE AROUND 40 TO 50 OR SO! AND IT'S NOT QUITE AS HOT IN SUMMER AS IT IS IN FLORIDA EITHER! IT'S A WONDERFUL CITY!!! A BOATING MECCA TOO, BEING IT'S CALLED "THE PORT CITY"! AND I'M A 28 YEAR OUTBOARD TECHNICIAN! I SELL THE HECK OUT OF 2 STROKE OUTBOARDS,, MOSTLY JOHNSON & EVINRUDES!!!
hey quick question I have a 1993 30 hp ELS and today did the water pump removal and install all seemed fine but starter wont crank motor? bat has juice, starter spins flywheel fast with plugs out. prop and flywheel will turn manually in drive but it is not easy. I can shift from F-N-to reverse, do you think the driveshaft be misaligned? It would break your arm trying to pull a rope manually in neutral. I should have tried to start it before doing the repair.
what about that sound that you talked about in the beginning of the video? I have the same sound when turning my propeller on my 75hp etec 2005. someone who knows?
Who cares about how someone's voice sounds like? What does that have to do with the video? I'd rather spend the extra money and have my mechanic do this. Pain in the butt. LoL. Certainly is a mess of a engine shaft and I can't believe he wouldn't take care of basic cleaning to make it look good. He takes all that time just to replace the impeller but can't take any time to keep it nice and clean. What a mess!!
Clean it up well before you start, just to show some respect. Also, tightening the aluminum unit into a vase without some type of protection tells me your not a tradesman.
