Removing the lower unit on my Sea Ray Boat... Music "The Chance" by Jason Shaw www.audionautix.com Check out Thrunite Lights at www.amazon.ca/... Outdoor Rob Adventure Channel
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.
Yaa yes remember changing mine. I had a newer alpha unit, had the reservoir. You definitely made it look easy. Don't know why RU-vid did not notify of new episodes,
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 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.
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.
