I have the same motor and took a look at the back side of the pump body bracket. I'd bet the hole is a breather so the pump can't get airlocked and leads to the chamber where the temperature sensor lives. As for the impeller... Have you tried discount marine source? They say the have it for $50...

Here's a better picture of the log. It sticks out ~1.75" and the bearing stuck out an additional 1". There were no set screws and besides a few scraps at the end of the tube it looks good. Current plan is to cut the tube down to 1" and drill a couple holes in it for set bolts as jnoble...

The pipe wrench couldn't get a good bite on the bearing to twist it out. It'd just shave off copper bits. I ended up raising the back of the motor up more and taking the shaft out. Once out a sawzall and pliers made quick work of the bearing. For anyone wondering raising the saildrive 3" got...

Update, I've unscrewed the rear mounts and blocked up the back of the engine about 4 inches allowing the prop shaft to slide under the transmission enough that I believe I can swap the bearing if I can get it free. On my Yanmar the rear engine mounts are on the saildrive so removing the...

The set screws are in the skeg? I thought they'd be in the shaft log. How do you find them if they've been faired and painted over?

Thanks for all the information. I've already got the shaft out of the coupler so I won't need as much movement from the engine. I tried twisting the bearing free with large channel locks and it laughed at me. Tomorrow I'll try with a large pipe wrench and hope it moves. Once it's free I'll be...

She has the fresh water cooled Yanmar. Changing yards isn't an option. How do you recommend moving the motor forward? I'm guessing remove the screws from the mounts to the engine bed and a come along or blocks to the mast with a couple 2x4's to spread the load? Could put some aluminium flat...

So set screws are hit or miss. I didn't see any obvious spots but I'll sand the paint off the shaft log (thanks for the name) to check. :( The yard I'm at is adamant I can't dig a hole to drop the rudder. So far I've gotten everything off; prop, stuffing box, the big rubber hose thing and shaft...

This is my first time replacing a cutless and want to verify what is what and how the bearing is retained. There's a 1.5" long white tube and out of that sticks an 1" long copper tube. The copper tube is the bear right? Also is there anything retaining it? I've read about bolts or set screws but...

It's a 300X (3003 I think) grade Al tube with ~1/8" side walls. I can lift the whole 30' stick with one arm so not worried about weight. My J measurement is 16', I'll keep it in mind but the pole Jim has has me reconsidering making it telescoping. If it needs to be over 20' then I'll have to...

I got my hands on some aluminum tubing and want to build a whisker pole to help my 382's running performance. It'll be a fixed length so wanted to hear from anyone that's poled out their genoas. What length would you suggest? Thanks!
