    Oil Leak at Cover, Flywheel / Strator assy.

    Disassembling today... One thing that I noted comparing to your picture is that mine looks like as if it has came out a little. The mechanic I contacted yesterday told me that it could happened if the engine "back fires" and this is the easiest point for the compression to exit. I do not...

    Oil Leak at Cover, Flywheel / Strator assy.

    The right way to go should be changing the Strator assy since the grommet is part of this entire part. But Yamaha does not have it in stock. Since the Strator is working perfectly, I guess the best way to go is taking it apart and add some gasket maker silicone inside around. Let me know if you...

    Oil Leak at Cover, Flywheel / Strator assy.

    Could you point out the part number or send an image of the crankshaft seal you think it is the problem? I've sent the same images to Yamaha and another local shop and both think the grommet on the Strator assy is what failed. Note that I could not se any other location on the engine with oil...

    Oil Leak at Cover, Flywheel / Strator assy.

    What do you mean by “14 - 15 - 16 /-6” ? Should this whole area inside the cover be dry? No oil?

    Oil Leak at Cover, Flywheel / Strator assy.

    2004 AR230 With the engine out, I was able to find where the oil leak is located. It is leaking from the whole on the Flywheel Cover where the cables from Strator exits. The idea is to take the cover out and use some high temperature gasket maker to seal around the rubber. I have never opened...

    Intermediate Shaft assembly

    Yes, that is what I thought. This part is done. Waiting for the parts to rebuilt the other side of the Jet Pump. Bearings, seals... I've got a shop press that made it easier. Lots of "jigs" needed without the Yamaha tools.

    Intermediate Shaft assembly

    I had no choice other than cutting the shaft, and the bearings on the housing ere completely destroyed. Actually I will change the whole assembly on the Impeller housing as well. The boat is 2004 and I took really good care since I bought in 07, but one thing I neglected is lubricating the...

    Intermediate Shaft assembly

    2004 AR230 I am reassembling the Intermediate shaft and the Service Manual is very confusing about the specs. If anyone could confirm if my conclusion is correct, I would appreciate. Apparently, the edge of the shaft must be 0.37~0.41 in (9.5~10.5mm) from the rear side of the Housing. This...

    Stuck Impeller

    That's what I thought. 2 flats and heat! I have this boat since 2007 and have not had big issues at all. Crossed to Bimini, trailered to many places... many years of great times. 2004 models didn't have all the electronics like the new ones, Much easier to maintain. Cables, Oil, Filter...

    Stuck Impeller

    Updates… First, thank you for all the replies. In case other people face the same issues… Engine mounts failed 3 weeks ago. I am sure that they have not failed at the same time and most likely after 3 have failed the engine probably started rotating a little bit. I noted that recently the...

    Driveshaft stuck

    I’ve tried all these options and it does not move. Unfortunately there is no other way than cutting the shaft. Question now is… the only tool will fit easily is a reciprocating saw. Any ideas the best way to cut it?

    Driveshaft stuck

    The one thing that I can’t figure out is, if the intermediate shaft has slid out 1” as it appears on the picture, and the end of the drive shaft is somewhere inside the bearing house, how is it possible that This joint point is so much inside the boat if the impeller is still attached and ,of...

    Driveshaft stuck

    Sorry brother, I have removed the Jet pump a few times in the past, I know how all the parts are attached. But never faced that frozen slices before and I am trying to figure out the best way not to cause more damage by using pure force.

    Driveshaft stuck

    This part is very clear from the beginning, I just do not understand what you meant by "dampener" and also "the aluminum piece". That is why I asked you to ad the part number from diagram.

    Driveshaft stuck

    You wrote: “You have the engine out so get a 5 pound slide hammer and connect it to the intermediate bearing housing and use it to pull the housing if the dampener (What Part# ?) is also still on the shaft you will need to remove that first the same way with the slide hammer” (I do not know...

    Driveshaft stuck

    I am sorry for taking your time! Unfortunately, I am not sure about some of the parts you mentioned on your first reply, that is why I questioned and attached the diagram so you could point them out. Reading your 2nd reply, it seems that I am not recognizing the parts you are mentioning and...

    Driveshaft stuck

    First I want to thank you to make the time to help! I definitely understand how all these parts are connected, but the biggest issue is not to damage other parts by using too much power or doing it the wrong way. On your suggestions there are a few things that I could not understand well. For...

    Driveshaft stuck

    That is what I figured, about 1 inch. I slid the bearing housing and I see a line, but I am not sure this is where the shafts join. Please, check the pictures I posted on the reply on the thread.

    Time... Rubber with 18 years old! Engines still running great. Boat is in really good conditions Thank you for your advise dan144k Today I tried again by hitting hard while tied to the tree and it doesn't seem to move at all. Also I pushed back the jet pump and slide forward the bearing...
