The
large, 1/2" diameter hydraulic shaft that pushes/pulls the engine left /
right....BROKE!! EZ enough to fix, buy a new one...Of course you can't find anything like the
original, so it's similar. & requires removing the engine from the boat!!
|
|
So far the engine has been removed & replaced safely, unfortunately the new
steering is the wrong steering, & now we are waiting for more parts....
Also in the course of today's project, a second bilge pump was installed, but
someone did not take a picture of me drilling holes in the boat!! |
|
See these large piece of stainless steel??
The parts have arrived & are already installed! The Seal is now capable of
turning! Today's repairs took less than 2 hours! |
|
|
|
Are we sure we want to do this?? |
OK...here goes |
Nervous yet?? |
|
|
|
There's the new hydraulics. |
& the view from the other side...., there's painting to do yet...... |
And look! New hoses, and of course ZIP TIES!!!!!!! |
The latest repairs are complete!!
The Royal Seal is now fully capable of turning left & right!!!
The new parts fit perfectly &
the project took less than 2 hours!
Now what next?
