Re: Member Selling
 

yep thats him!!

Got to pull that motor and out drive to replace athat coupler!! Been there done that!! >:(

Re: Member Selling
 

What would they charge for that job to have it done MJ, cause it looks like a sweet boat otherwise

Re: Member Selling
 

Have no idea?? I did the job myself,

I added a piece of ply to the floor of the boat,

put a engin lift in the boat undid the mounts and removed the out drive.

Lifted the motor out right in the boat, and while it was hanging there I swaped out the coupler, thats easy, just mounts to the flywheel.

Then you replace the motor and the outdrive and you good to go.

Sounds easy but you have to get to all the bolts, and it was bad anough in a stright 6cyl never mind a V8!!

Then you have to get lucky that all lines up again, they have a alinement tool to make sure.
I was lucky, never had the tool and all was well when it was over!

I would say if a mariner was doing it it would cost about 6 hours labore and about $150 for the part? Thats what I payed for the part about 6 years ago.

But you can bet that the mariner will eed other parts!!

I bet you are looking at $700 to $1000?

Thats ashame, its a sweat V.
But I'm always willing to take in donations and chairty. :P

Re: Member Selling
 

Hammer depends on two things what are you willing to do yourself and if it is done by a mechanic and you get the boat for a sweet price, which I think you will because of the circumstances he is in and the boat needing work it could work out very well for someone

MJ, what causes that coupler to go out?... ??? ...

Re: Member Selling
 

Post pics. of the part needing replacing. Surprised you need a special tool to align the engine. Figured you bolt it back down to the motor mounts the same way you do a car engine.
