| Post subject: | Emergency Exhaust question? |
OK....so I was doing a pre-inspection today for my boating trip tomorrow. I found about a 2-3 inch rupture in the exhaust hose of the outdrive coming from the back of the transom leading into the prop. Is this a major issue/concern and will I still be able to take the boat out this weekend? I also threw some marine lube into the gimble bearing threw the grease gun fitting on the right side of the outdrive. I gave it about 4-5 squirts of lube...can you put too much lube into that fitting. I'm assuming it the grease fitting for the gimble bearing. If somebody could advise as soon as possible, I'd greatly appreciate it..... Chaz |

BTW....I have VP 5.0 SX drive.............. One more question.....I assumed it was the exhaust hose....Just for clarity, there are 2 of those hoses (I'm pretty sure those are the bellows). The hose I was referring to is on the bottom. I could not see any cracks or anything in the top hose, which I'm assuming is for the drive shaft/u-joint bellows. Then again I couldn't truly expect the who thing. I trimmed it all the way and saw what I could. Any thoughts? |
