It's not that bad of a job without pulling the engine as long as you have enough room for a puller and installer for the fly wheel. I use a piece of 1/2-20 threaded rod, 3 nuts and a spacer to install the flywheels instead of the mercruiser $195 tool. Lots of cursing the engineer(s) that...

lambrld, I'm former of 8 years.

Well, first off, this will be my last post on this forum unless I see some attitude changes. I know I don't post that much, but I'd rather persue my hobbies than type about them(300 + hours per year on the boat). Second of all: If it will make you guys feel better, I'll make spark arrestors...

Thanks everyone. She's amazing as are the other four kids. I all of the kids are hooked and love boating and fishing. My wife and I are truly blessed.

I'm so proud of her. When she was 7 she started piloting the boat while I'd set lines for trolling.

Thanks, wish2fish, I haven't been able to attach anything lately.

You can come up here and get mine this winter. All I really need is a couple of 4.3s put in. LOL. Seriously, it looks great! Could you post a couple of pictired of the engines? I'd like to see the spacing and if you have measurements between the transom plates would be great.

My 11 year old daughter braught our boat in and actually docked it yesterday! She did better than I do. http://www.flickr.com/photos/33287464@N03/4699748168/

It was loud today when they were practicing. I'll be out there all three days like every year.

Send 83searay a pm. He copied my rear fold up seat for his 260 and it turned out great.

Practice on the lake with a bouy or something similar. You are going to fall in love with the amount of control you have with twins. I have twin I/Os and love it. Inboards are better yet. Congrats on the boat! As for the differences, you'll notice with one forward, one reversed, the boat...

The main reason I say this is my first time out this year after replacing the cam seals on my starboard engine, the port cam seals went on me. My project for today. Hopefully, it's the last problem for a while, yeah right!

Glad you found one, and glad you didn't get the 470!

mwph, I'll have to check before I get another pump. It does work well after I prime it myself so that makes a lot of sense. Once in a while I do see a little water under the strainer. I wish everything that's 28 years old still worked as good!

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea, it is the original pump from 1982!

My fresh water pump keeps losing it's prime and won't pump. I can't find any leaks, the diaphrams look good and it works after I prime it myself. I have a Shurflo 3gpm standard pump. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem. I hope someone has an answer!

I have a '82, but with twin 470s. What do you need to know?

I had the same problem once!!!!! I have a nice scar on my right cheek where the post hit my cheek bone. Kind of a sickening sound when it hit and a lot of blood. I was wiggling it and pulling up at the same time when it surprised me and let loose. Ok, go ahead and laugh now since it was a...

If you want to sleep 4, you'd be better off looking at a 260 or even a 250 Sundancer unless you are limited by a tow vehicle. Right now I see a lot of boats for way less than I would expect to pay. By the way, I'm glad you passed on the 470!
