Ok here is the drive shafts now I can start the drive guards.

I think if one breaks it will sink the ship.

So lets build something rowdy.



Lets start with 1/4 plate

Cut a wedge out of it.

Re: New to me Skater.
 

Had some 6 inch shedule 80. Plasma cut it in half
Dam thing was under tension went flying in the air :eek:

Will use two halfs got to figure how to join them
maybe big clamps or otherwise weld tabs and use bolts.


There is one more support going towards the drive.

fluid. So I ordered the rebuild kit from merc.

Re: New to me Skater.
 

If that $135- for three 0-rings hurts, better leave it on the trailer. No telling what's next and it won't be that cheap.

How much does an oil change cost?

Re: New to me Skater.
 

Actualy just ordered a 5 gallon pail of the TORCO MTF
for 97 bucks.

Do you know how many 30 packs I can buy for a 100?


What Mercury drives fail? I better be careful of what I say.
Because everybody uses them. That means there the best right? But I will ask
