You are KZread gold Zach! You make it look easy and enjoyable too! on behalf of all Mercruiser 3.0 engine owners! thank you! You gained a lifetime sub here! Cheers!

Hi my name is Steve , I did my project boat last year . I feel yeah about working on the boat and helping others to . Love your videos. Please keep on doing more videos. Giving love and support to your channel !!

I am working on a glass ply 19' project boat with the same engines I very much enjoy your videos and learning a lot as we go keep it up and I will continue to watch thanks for all the effort

Thank you so much for your videos! I live in Norway and have just purchased a 1998 1850SE with a 3.0 Mercruiser, and can't wait for the summer holiday to end so I can start my renovation of the boat and the rebuild of the engine. I've got so much inspiration from your vlog, you have a very good way of explaining things.

Hey man you do a good job don’t let anybody get you down and it don’t seem like you do. Helluva job I think restoring that boat so many people would have gave up when water was coming out instead of oil I have one that I’m about to try and restore that kind of in the same condition so I would like to stay in touch. Thanks

Keep'em coming. Great video. This has been an amazing help to my process.

Keep up the good work! Really enjoy al of your vlogs!

Thanks for all these videos! You are awesome! All your videos have really helped me out!

I am a marine tech and have been forever, I watch these vids and can usually beat folks up on what they are doing wrong. Especially in I/O. I own a marine biz in FL and I goto say I would hire this guy.. Well done dude

Thanks a lot mate you have helped me a lot with my rebuild. Today is the day I finally drop the engine in! 😊

Thank you so much man you have helped me out tremendously

Yu Zachs, I need to move nearby your neighborhood bro. Man, you are a cool guy, a very talented and hard-working guy. I got a 2009 Bayliner 4.3 that the outdrive did not raise up and now sound metal in the side when i run the boat. So, i am planning to take it apart and do what you did on your boat.

Great Videos. Thanks for showcasing. Cheers!

Zach, I did a complete engine replacement on a 18’ sea-ray this past spring. Your struggles were almost exactly like mine and if I had the extra time I would have loved to document them on KZread like you’re doing. The boat looks amazing from where you started and you should be very proud of your accomplishments. One suggestion once its done and you are finally able to enjoy using it on the water. Get a set of trim tabs. Nauticus makes a set that goes for around $100 and they make a huge difference with how the boat handles. Much easier to get up on plane and a lot less bouncing at higher speeds.

It's funny you mention that! We have actually been using the boat that I haven't shown as much in videos. But trim tabs / hydrofoil is actually on my Christmas list 🤠 couldn't agree more! Thanks for sharing!

Hey wanted to tell you thanks for the help and very impressive you got back to me so soon great channel to be of. Something that may come in handy for someone someday or save some part of their anatomy when I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong I hooked the positive straight up to the coil causing all the spark plugs to spark obviously what I didn't expect was the motor to start up yes it started up. Without any help from the starter whatsoever I was surprised because it seems like it would've had to preserve the cons the compression along with being in just the right spot but what do I know

Great vid!

When trying to align the spline, it’s easier to turn the prop rather than pulling it out and turn the driveshaft.

I’m removed my drive to replace a hose now I’m trying to get it back in and I can’t get any closer than three inches. I have it in drive. I do try and turn the propeller counter clockwise but drive won’t turn unless I pull it out of housing a little. Any help is appreciated

hi zach i don't have a boat. even do i live in the netherlands. but i love your content and humor. i also can't believe it is almost over. and i don't want to mis your struggle with your built. so i suggest a bigger boat hahaha. maybe a houseboat restoration. would bee nice. or classic bike or car. i do not care i will watch it anyway. looking forward to new episodes or project. good luck jeroen

Youse the MAN Zach ! I had no idea how to approach the reinstall of my outdrive till I saw your video /// I had to use a piece of 2x4 and a 10 lbs hammer to get it in but after seeing that you hit it at the top it went in great .... many thanks do you have a video on how to setup the trim disks on the outdrive sides ?

A great help

Need you again !!!

EXCELLENT !!!!!!

You have doubled your subscribers in the last year.

I busted the fiberglass where the engine cover rest on pulling my motor out of my boat

I need a younger body to help my old worn out mechanic body. LOL good video.

I did head gaskets on a 4.3 mercruiser. Is remove and replace that much harder? This one's got a blown engine. Probably will just buy a short block

Hi, my name is Patrick. I’ve been watching your channel the rebuild on the Bayliner. I have a question I bought a Bayliner. It’s a 2007 175 and I have no idea of how to put this engine back together. It’s a project Boat is there any kind of way you can guide me in the right direction of putting this engine back together

Did you make that trim button on the side of the boat?

Bagus.vidio nya.dimana bisa beli mesin nya 👍👍🙏

Help? I removed my alpha one gen two drive to replace a water house now I can’t seem to get it back on. I have the boat in drive . Shifter aligned but I can’t get any closer than two or four inches. Help?

Isolate the point of failure, or in your case the point of stopping from getting it on. Might be drive shaft splines, stud bolts, etc. Look for anything that can get in the way

Do you need to remove the outdrive or can engine be removed with it in place? Seems like if it could be brought forward while removing it would clear the shaft

Just realized I didn't have the alignment tool added to my engine rebuild cost breakdown spreadsheet with tools. I just added it now. I got it on amazon, you'll be able to find the link for it and other tools on my spreadsheet here: bit.ly/2TQZHdi

Where the oil leak are?

When i run this video at 1.5x you sound normal.
