Just pulled the factory slip on mufflers off. Going to put turn down tips and mini baffles in for some backpressure. Then have the carb tuned for the change.

มุมมอง 147K5 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a step by step as best as I can make it on how to replace the engine coupler, sometimes called a drive coupler, in a mercruiser powered boat. This process will be generally the same for all mercruiser engines.

1987 Ramcharger Build Part 1
มุมมอง 6K8 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my first video in what will hopefully be a series of the build of my ramcharger. the build will be slow because I don't have a lot of money to put into it but should be enjoyable to do and hopefully just as enjoyable to watch. Like and subscribe for more videos as they come.

Part two in my build series. soon I will be doing a v8 swap into my boat and will try to video some of that, maybe make a build video of my boat as well. As always subscribe for more.

Dude you talk to much just do the work talk less

What’s the part number on the part the coupler
Is there a way to check coupler without removing engine? I have an omc cobra will only do 10 mph everyone keeps saying it’s the coupler
@@marshall8898 not that I know of. Sounds like the coupler
If you can turn the propeller while in gear that would be a bad cuppler
Sounds like a Cuss-Fest to me, but it would be worse having to split my wallet at the service counter.
Also, didn't mention this earlier - but I swapped the original MCM228 out for a 5.7 (350 CI) reman ten years ago and was doing great until I sheared the engine coupling last week. Newer engine has 450 hours on it and I have always checked alignment when I had the drive off and greased the splines regularly. Each time the alignment seemed to be pretty well perfect as I could push alignment tool all the way in with two fingers and minimal pressure. That said, when it sheared last week I was heavily loaded with six adults and lots of gear. I'm thinking that certainly contributed to the failure. Plus, I run a stainless prop (no flexing with SS) and the newer engine has quite a bit of power (~270 HP) relative to the lame 305. Besides what I mentioned above, is there ANYTHING else you can think of that may have caused the coupling to fail? I had ten relatively good years but I for sure don't want to go through this again.
@@willytv275 being under heavy load I wonder if there's a weak spot in the stringers causes the engine to twist. They used these on big blocks before the bravo came out and still use them on the small block 350s with 260hp.
@@thestigmach1984 Hello and thanks for the reply. I wondered if maybe the engine is moving around some. However, I have tapped around on the flooring and the mount pedestals and all seems to be pretty solid. The boat is old obviously but has always been stored under roof and I open it up and let it dry out really well after each outing. I purchased some new rear mount bushings as those have never been replaced. I’m thinking that may be part of my problem. I plan to install them as soon as I get the engine out.
@@thestigmach1984 Hey, how are you doing today? Follow up to my last post - I’m expecting a new coupling to be delivered today. The one that failed was an aftermarket and this time I’m going back with OEM Mercruiser. Cost is twice that of aftermarket, but I want to get the best possible part. I’m planning to pull the engine this week and do the coupling swap. One thing to note, I did check my alignment yesterday and it is still spot on. Your comments regarding the stringers, do concern me, however. That said, since the alignment is still in good shape, I found that at least somewhat encouraging. Bottom line, I was overloaded and running a 21 pitch prop, which did not help matters. I should have switched to my 19 before that outing, or better yet, kicked a few people out of the boat. Please let me know if you have any other thoughts or advice…
Hi, I'm doing this repair now - on basically the same boat you have (mine is a 1983 SRV197). I noticed you pulled the carb off of the engine. Is that necessary?
Why didn't you show exactly how you took off the the wiper . This video is absolutely useless.
Thanks for sharing
thanks, I have to revove my 85's wiper arms and if they don't come off easy I think I will drill a hole in the top of the arm so I can use a reval tool.Then when replacing put some kind of plug in the hole. Wish me luck I
I wanna know by tow haul mode you mean over drive right
Quick question buddy I have an 08 Dodge ram 1500 with the 5.7my question to you is I’m gonna be towing shy of 8000 pounds and driving minimum three hours One Direction three hours coming back. Would you say that my truck can do it in ease or that are there things I can do to my truck to make sure it can pull that weight
Have you tried it? I have 04 5.7 1500 and I have to tow 5500 pounds including trailer which it self is around 1000 pounds 4 hours one way
Low RPM that's good
If it dries fast, put the lid back on it while you are picking up the camera and turning it on and talking. Good job besides that. I dislike waste
Started this this morning and lost the bolt right away...apparently I have a portal to another dimension somewhere in there because I spent the rest of the day looking for it.
If we could figure out using those portals for good we'd all be in good shape. Good luck
just snagged a 97, turns over, but no spark. This on my short list of things to replace to make it go. Just seeing the bolt in relation to the other parts underneath helps a ton! Thank you!
VERY IMFORMATIVE , BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN
No body asked.... WHY did you have to replace it?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! ❤
i had a bushing come off. absolute pain in the ass to fix
Very good video overall. Clear camera work and complete descriptions. I am in middle of a 4cyl. Oil leak and this video has been helpful for tear down
Flywheel install? Can you explain the installation process.
Fun fact those 3rd gen rams 1500s have the same drive trains ( engine trans and diff) as the 2500s only difference being the leaf springs
Diffs were a variety of Dana 60 on the 2500 these were a Chrysler 9.25. engine and trans yes
That paper spacer is 100% needed
Very good and helpful video. Do you know if the engine mounts in a 4.3 V6 boat will accept a 5.0 V8?
Been awhile since I messed with that stuff but rear mounts for sure front mounts 95%. Google V8 swap S10. Same engine swap you're trying to do and will tell if front mounts need changed.
I had a very weird knocking noise that came from the flywheel/ coupler area with the sterndrive off. It turned out, I had two loose coupler nuts/studs. I have a Merc 3.0 IO. , this video helped me out tremendously. Thanks again.
I'm getting a weird sound coming from the coupler area with the sterndrive off. Any greasing or maintenance for this? A Video of sound is enclosed below. Any ideas what this could be, the splines look fine on the drive shaft of the outdrive. The Inside of the coupler spline seem fine when feeling it with my hand. th-cam.com/users/shortsejTgRw6c_rQ?feature=share
Am I understanding right that the drive is removed from the boat? Sounds to me like ujoints but wouldn't make sense if it's removed. Unfortunately it sounds like it needs to come out and see what's banging around in there. Could it be low end knock? Hard to tell in a video.
Stern was off. It was a loose coupler. I had to order a new coupler because a few of the studs got compromised from it being loose and the coupler holes were eggshaped from the looseness and friction. I'll need 2 studs now to replace also. There not cheap in price.
What kind of hitch did u use ?
Factory
Is that like 5000 capacity
@@antoniovibe1933 no the truck was rated for 10k towing factory. It's whatever dodge put on it factory.
awesome video thank you
ThNk you that was helpful
Try this in -35 windchill
In this video , your Trans fluid dipstick is on wrong side and or bent, and the Plug-in in on opposing side also. Just for reference.
That's where my dipstick is located too.
Weird how nobody bothers with ramps. It sure would make sense to me.
Did you look at the triangle style coupler over the crankshaft mount coupler?
They're a different style and length not swappable
@@thestigmach1984 Did you find out what the sbc 1 pc rms coupler part number? Their seems to be so much deceptive and secrecy to find correct part.
@@johnwehunt4305 it's going to depend which one you have. Only way I know of is to shove your phone in there and video it so you can see if it's round or triangle. Then should be able to search for you r year and that style. Sierra marine is helpful even if you don't buy it from them. I don't remember or have those part numbers anymore
hey what was your jeep doing when the sensor was bad? im trying to figure out if thats whats wrong with my jeep.
Shutting off randomly typically at stop lights. Thats the tell tale of this sensor going bad. Also may not start. This isn't the only thing to cause no start or stalling but is very common
Can't even see bolts for crank sensor!!
i was waiting how donyou remove the"clip" or tab?
Having also done this on a 1997, I can verify this is spot on info on how to do this. The only thing to add is - spending more on the part is well worth it. You get what you pay for - so if spontaneously stalling in moving traffic w/o warning gets you off, the cheaper brand part will make you giddy about your short-sighted frugality.
good video lot of useful info, good on you for putting the flywheel back in the same position. A lot of people don't realize that the entire rotating assembly is balanced including the flywheel and balancer they mast go back in the same position.
What happend Wit the ramcharger build I can't find the video after part 2
Is that the stock hitch on it!?
All stock besides a bully dog tuner
@@thestigmach1984 thanks man I got a 2500 hemi with a stock hitch.from the frame to the bumper so I pit the 100$ curts hitch onit just making sure I can tow my bobcat around. This proves it with the hitch rating thanks!!!
Kick ass!
Paper spacer a must for proper distance of sensor operation,the tin foul stuff is a heat blanket to keep the heat away from the plastic cable
Would this work for the 1998 4.0 jeep Cherokee Laredo
Yes
Any idea where I can get new flexplate/couple bolt? Two of mine snapped
@12:30 it’s funny you say “The last thing you want is your Coupler coming off on you” lol I bought a boat and I suspected I spun bearing but come to find out two of these flexplate bolts had backed out and we’re laying in my pan and the fly wheel was hitting them making it sound like a bad crank bearing-I’m very surprised they werent any loctite/thread sealant and after seeing this video seems like that was just a standard thing to not add which is very surprising
Great video
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!!
I just came across this video my motor mout broke causing motor to lean heard a noise coming from coupler area pulled out drive off still here noise . will the coupler only make noise when out drive is hooked up
A failed coupler yes. It could be hitting on the housing or even loose from the engine itself. Definitely need to pull the engine and have a look at whats going on.
@@thestigmach1984 Thank you for the quick response I'll look into that I just hope the noise isn't coming from internally
a five dollar wiper puller will "not do that" also making drunken videos and dropping tools into your engine bay
