Does anyone have an outboard motor mount on their swim deck for auxiliary power. Here in Alaska tugs and sea tows are far and few between. Better to be self sufficient when it comes to single screws. I'm looking for brand names and hp rating. Around a 15 hp ideally so i can use the motor with my 13 ft inflatable.
Question 2
Where the heck is the engine zinc on a perkins t6.354m. Can't seem to find it in my manual.
Question 3
PO had never greased intermediate bearing on my mainship 34 mk1 shaft flexes where it glues through it. Is it a simple matter to just remove the coupling to the transmission and sliding the shaft back to replace the bearing? And then pushing it back in to reinstall coupling?
Question 4.
Zinc on rudder shoe. Mine seems to have none nor did it ever to appear to. There is 1 on shaft and 2 on rudder. But shoe looks like it's pitting. I was thinking on having a welder weld 2 bolts sticking up forward of the prop on the shaft and just custom drilling a welded teardrop to address this issue. Bad idea.
Thanks for any info.
