cool!!!!

BoatNT,

Any good tricks to getting the tips out of the transom? I've got the screws out. From the looks of the gumpuckey on the screws, it doesn't appear to be anything crazy, but they aren't budging, even with a pretty good whack with a dead blow hammer from the inside.

Thanks. Brad.

I usually use a heat gun and heat the trim ring around the tip and take a wood shim and push it in between the tip and the transom

BoatNT,

I’ve got a buddy bringing a heat gun tomorrow.

After doing some reading, I also picked up a spool of micro-braid fishing line and a rubber strap filter wrench. Ever had any luck with these?

I managed to cut a small strip of the adhesive that had extruded around the edge of the trim ring. It’s still fairly pliable. Is this an indicator that it’s NOT 5200? Neil Wallace tells me that it shouldn’t be.

Thanks. Brad.

now you just have to get em out...
my reloader broke a special piece and after i got it out...i should have just ordered the new piece
but dillion still sent me a new one
great to hear corsa is standing up
my tips have what look like spiral type things in them... 1988 vintage

Combination of a 2x4 against them inside with a dead blow and someone using a pry bar carefully on the back to not mess up the gel. I always put some painters masking tape on the outside where the pry bar was going to be. No. Real tricks unfortunately.

Dead blow hammers really help. Wood wedges to help with tension, makes the striking blows more effective.

A slide hammer would also help out if you can set it up through the port.

All after a good heat saturation of course.

they also help stop the blows from bending the tube.

This is why you need to make sure your flappers are functional. I think this is what happened to this engine after forensic exam.

you can also use an oil filter wrench on the outside to give you some twist while pulling.
i used two so i could twist and pull with both hands
