Re: Sportmasters Falling Off?
Bmax lowers (supposedly their own casting) have broken studs and almost fell off on several occasions on friends Fountain/Scism

Re: Sportmasters Falling Off?
Having that happen would tend to piss me off a bit. Sorry to hear of your troubles. Has this happened more than once to you? It could be a case of someone not using a torque wrench, and going with the German Method... Guud-en-tite.

Re: Sportmasters Falling Off?
Two of the four gear case studs fell out on my 32 Skater with 300 x's. The other two studs backed out and wiped out the shaft when the drive fell down 3/4 of an inch. This happened during the first ten hours of operation. As a result I do a preflight every time I take the boat out.

Re: Sportmasters Falling Off?
I almost lost this lower, thought somthing had broke, drive oil draining between the upper & lower, it was just the studs backing out. Only had a problem when running with a spacer.

Re: Sportmasters Falling Off?
I lost a lowerunit on my old Checkmate Pulsare/ Mercury 225EFI. Three studs pulled out of the mid section and the casting lip on the LU broke on the last one. I was running low 70s and the boat swapped ends in one boat length. I was thrown down under the dash and bruised up...but luckily nothing worse.
Funny part was, I tried to restart the engine and it wouldn't start. I trimmed it up to take a look and a guy in another boat started screaming my motor was gone........he meant the LU. Worse part, I had a friend's Mercury 28' ET prop that went to the bottom of the lake.....ouch! X-driver |
