Michael, another great video, i can see all the hard work you put into the videos. Anytime i am looking for Mercruiser vids I watch your videos first! Thanks for posting these vids. My boat is a 1989 Wellcraft so i am doing all the same things to my boat that you are and probably more.

[@davidvenne1134]

Your videos are so thorough and well done. Thank you for all your work!

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

That means the world to us, thank you. Our boat projects are fun to put together and we can’t wait to upload our jet ski repair videos. 😁👍

[@troyr1620]

Another exceptional video. Very helpful. Thank you Michael for all your hard work. Looking forward to the jetski videos.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Good morning, thank you. Great to hear you’re enjoying the series. 👍

I could not for the life of me get that top bolt off the bulkhead retainer. The bolt on mine was rotated in a way where I could not get an open end wrench on it to break it loose as shown in the video. I bent the box end of a spare 7/16" wrench to clear the u-joint bellow mating surface, but could not get enough bite to break it either. I ended up sneaking a long 1/4" wobble extension between the gimbal and transom housing, then put a shallow 7/16" socket on the end and was able to break it free that way. Took some adjustment moving the gimbal side to side to get the right angle to get the socket on. Once it was broken loose I used the bent box end to finish removal. I tried about a dozen other methods but this was the one that worked for me.

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. This can definitely be a very tedious project, especially when it comes time to remove as well as resecure plate and bolts. We are honored you took the time to share this. Any at all helpful info, tricks, and methods is greatly appreciated here on our channel. 😁👍🧰

The top bolt holding the retainer can be a bitch… I took a box end wrench and stuck in a bench vice and used a hammer and gave it a little more angle … made a worlds difference getting room to turn the wrench to get the top bolt out…

@@davidjessee7701 Good morning ☕️ we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and helpful tip. 😁👍

Can you replace the trim sending unit?While the outdrive is on the boat

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

It’s definitely possible, however much more difficult.

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

Good morning ☕️ it’s possible however a bit more tedious.

[@bobammon2916]

Happen to have a video of this project? Or any suggestions to why my trim Guage isn't working?

[@DIYwithMichaelBorders]

@@bobammon2916 Thanks for the reply, not with outdrive still installed.
