The proper, long-term solution to seal the drilled holes is to coat the insides with epoxy resin. You can buy west systems pouches on amazon that are small amounts already measured out- perfect for some bolt holes. Some will say 5200 would work but once things are bolted up you can't always...

Check your evinrude model number and you can find out the shaft length. Assuming that evinrude is running, with some patience you can probably wait for the right one to pop up and find something. Maybe talk to the shops that sell new outboards. If they know you're looking, they can help their...

I think you’ll need a pic of the front of the hull with the boat on the trailer to easily identify dv or mv.

I'd figure you can probably get around 100k. But list price would prob be a little higher with the expectation there will be some haggling. And if you're using a broker you might mark it up a little more to compensate from the commission they're going to take. I'd be hesitant to handle a $100k...

Might be some variation depending on that engine being a 3.3 or 4.2, but the general schedule is in the thumbnails below. And everyone will tell you it also depends on how you use the engine- Some will do things earlier and some later. If you haven't done internal anodes and thermostats I'd go...

I can't imagine how the pump would "create" an air bubble unless there was an issue with it. If the diagnostic guy ever gives you any more info I'd be interested to know how that might happen. Only thing I could think of is that a small amount of air ended up in the system when the ram seal was...

Check with installers before you order. A lot of good shops don’t want to install a product they can’t vouch for. And the guys that will install stuff ordered online will usually charge an arm and a leg then still have an easy way out by blaming any issues on the product. Best bet in the long...

You’ll have to investigate more to figure out if it’s just cosmetic or more serious. Gelcoat degrades over time and it might just be stress cracks in the gelcoat. Start with the dremel as you planned. Usually you’ll stop spraying dust and start slinging dirty, wet stuff if you get through...

What’s your current steering? Brand and model if possible. Hydraulic or mechanical? If mechanical, go hydraulic and it should be a huge improvement. If you’re already hydraulic then there’s steering assist boosters but they’re pricey. You could also try a bigger hydraulic ram if you’re...

For a dozen to twenty or so screw holes I’d just get the west system fiberglass repair kit for around $50. It’s epoxy resin and it comes in small premeasured pouches so no extra thinking on that part. It includes the cabosil to thicken it. Has fiberglass too but sounds like you shouldn’t need...

Sounds like you're upset that no one told you how smart you are for your idea so you're going to play somewhere else. Have fun.

And it's still not a deep V? Cause I'm just not sure looking at the pics so thought I should ask.
