Good to know, how did you arrive at that conclusion please? It did concern me that the thread puller holes in the steering wheel were not carried through or counter bored to allow for the bolts go through without pushing the wheel away from the hub center. Just very curious to me?

Yeah that's it just haven't experienced that design yet. Your welcome!

After looking at the hub and steering wheel pictures again I think that the arrangement may have been designed to more easily index the steering wheel in a "straight" position when under way. This can be safely accomplished by assembling the helm and all connections properly and then assembling...

Thanks for the additional pictures, that helps a lot. I've been doing automotive and marine work for nearly 50 years and have not seen a steering wheel hub like that one but I'm sure that I have NOT seen everything. It could be designed that way to accommodate the use of different steering...

Sorry, Harbor Freight has pullers and heat guns.

Can you provide a side view?

Airshot is right, need a puller with strong but thin enough jaw tips to get between that hub and the helm housing and get in the habit of putting the nut back on the shaft but only flush with the threaded end of the shaft to press against. If you are going to reuse the threaded shaft of any...

Oh, and don't forget to engage the shift rod also!

I'll jump in and try to help with what I have learned to do. Lightly grease the driveshaft splines, do not apply grease to the top of the shaft. As a matter of fact make sure there is not a bunch of grease up inside the crankshaft and check the water tube for proper engagement into the upper...

We live in a smallish town in central Arizona and have to take in the bird feeders each night as well.

Don't you think that any additional filters should be installed before the engine? And in case you are not aware there is a screen filter on the Evinrude, Johnson inlet cover of the fuel pumps unless someone has thoughtfully removed it.

I have one of those on a 10 hp Mercury Sea Pro, do not wrap sensing wire too many times around plug wire. When I first installed it I wrapped the sending wire about six times around the plug wire and used a ty-rap to secure thinking more was better. Wrong. It will give you erroneous readings...

Always clockwise for the water pump impeller, that is the driveshaft is turned clockwise while pushing the housing down over the well lubricated impeller. I looked up your issue using the engine model code you listed earlier at marineengine.com and found this in the notes. IMPORTANT NOTE *** If...

I might add that upon rare occasion I have had a fuel inlet needle and seat stick together (viton tip) preventing fuel from actually getting in the fuel bowl of the carburetor after cleaning and or overhaul. The primer bulb will pump up against the stuck needle and seat but no fuel gets into the...

Sorry to correct you just trying to help, on the second type you must also simultaneously push up on the red button on side of shift lever while pushing inwards on center shift release button. Additionally the lever can be moved forwards or backwards to operate throttle without shifting into...

Just be sure to square up the axle and spring mounts to wear tires properly.

Yes, I've only used the rattle can products with good results with proper prep. Great propeller paint too.

Rust-Oleum Marine

Nothing specific just yet but started refurbishing a wide variety of outboards, just believe it's a good idea for safety with the bonus of an easy to access stop switch. Oh, and a direct replacement for some. Thank you again, was just looking for someone that knew for sure the dual mechanical...
