Finally got the motor back for the tantrum . going to finish reassembly this week and try to have it installed by next weekend . [ATTACH=CONFIG]507270[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]507271[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]507272[/ATTACH]

how is the boat running since you put it back together?

just got it cranked Thursday night seems fine just needs some carb adjusting .probably take it out next sunday .

cant get the drive on now ....

because the motor is not aligned? or some other reason?

had that happen numerous times,,if its just the last 3/4" that wont go in most likely its the 2 larger o rings on the shaft binding when they hit the gimbal bearing,,
you can verify this by removing the o rings and try installing the out drive I bet it will slide all the way in,,,I just start a nut on each side and slowly tighten evenly and it goes right in..
if it was the alignment you would not be able to push the outdrive that far in..
the prop does not turn because your in gear

saw your post in my other thread . going to try that this week and see how it goes . thanks

not sure yet

So....was it the o rings?

havent messed with it since the alignment tool got here
