@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I decided not to pull the trigger on purchasing a major project boat project due to transom rot concerns. After watching this however, an outdrive needing attention won't be a major issue for buying a used boat. Cheers
Mike, just wanted to say thank you for this series. I am working through this with you and your explanation skills are making it so much easier than what it would be without. Thank you for all the work you put into this!
We are very honored to read this, thank you. We put a lot of effort into this series, getting the DIY community the info they need without wasting their valuable time was our goal. 😁👍🧰
You are welcome, thank YOU! That means the world to us that you would share a (Super Thanks) with us. We hope your project is going well. Thanks again Joe. 😎👍
I never saw where you reinstalled the gasket with the u-joint bellows. You removed one, but didn't reinstall. I can't figure out it's purpose but my kit came with one.
@DIYwithMichaelBorders I figured it out. It goes in the gimble housing but sits where the stern drive will go in up against it. I guess I'll use a little adhesive on it to hold it in place.
Good evening I have a question. I have a 87 boat and I’ll put a V6 mercury MerCruiser in it, but I’m having problems with the transom because one transom has a hydraulic power. Stern in the old transom does not have a place to attach the hydraulic power, stern on the inner plate of the transit, can you give me any advice?
@@Tillerycuriousgardening Good morning ☕️ any update? Are you referring to the hydraulic trim system and where the trim wires are secured to outdrive by the plate and bolts?
Michael, I have a question about the bellows retainer clip, should it be on top or bottom of the bellows? I am talking about the stainless clip that you have to pinch on to the bellows. Thank you, Gary
Thanks for watching. Are you referring to the aluminum bellow bonding clips that clip onto bellow that the clamp wraps around and locks in place? If so, our service manual guides us to have the bonding clips positioned as shown. Some manuals will guide you to position them slightly offset from 12 & 6. If purchasing quicksilver OEM replacement bellow kit, the position of the clips when opening the packaging and removing bellows will be the position to have them at. We have seen aftermarket bellows have the clips positioned in the wrong spots…which can lead to offset crimping pressure on the bellows and lead to premature failure.
Yes, mike the aluminum clips on the gimble bellow and the clips on the exhaust bellow, am I right the clips on the gimble bellow are at the 12 o'clock, position, and the exhaust bellow clips should be at the 6 o'clock position? Thanks for getting back to me,, love your videos.
Hello, my name is Patrick. I’ve been watching your channel. I have a question. I have a 2007 Bayliner and it’s a project boat. I really do not know how to put the engine back together and where to buy parts for the engine is there anyway you can help me?
Thanks for watching, no better way to learn than having a project boat. That’s awesome and we can hopefully help. You can let us know what parts you need and we can help you track down the best options. 😁👍🧰
Good morning ☕️ This clip is part of the anode system and helps protect your clamps that secure bellow in-place from getting corroded and failing. Long story short, if not installed…the clamp will corrode, begin to loosen, and fail over time…unfortunately weakening the grip on the bellow and watertight seal. Please let us know if you have any questions. 🧰
I installed the bellows without them too. I am re-doing this as we speak with the clips installed this time. I don't want those hose clamps to come off and sink the ship LOL.
exeptional job i have to say ...but for me i consider the new shifter bushing design has non sense because it dosent need seals and is obstructing the exhaust and in the shifter cable boot i recomend not to put the little clamp because it doesnt need that instead it can provoke a damage to the boot ...pro mech opinion ...exelent video thanks body
@@luiscardozo0000 We really appreciate that, thank you. We definitely understand your thoughts. Sharing your thoughts, advice, and experiences is always welcome here on our channel. 😁👍🧰
