Re: 263 Sea trial semi fail
Me too Whipple. Looking forward to the formal introduction but that takes s backseat to your situation with Charlotte. Praying for you and your wife.

Well, we are making SLOW progress.
The Merc engine is back in the boat.
The engine hatch/sun platform has been reinstalled.
The outdrive was a bear to get back on as the engine alignment took forever. She just did not want to slide into those splines even with me turning the engine with a breaker bar.
Hoping to fire her up Tuesday morning.
Unfortunately the + positive battery terminal on the number two battery snapped off somehow. Brand new Trojan battery.
This boat is putting up a grand fight.
A few pics of engine, outdrive and splines. (Hope they are not sideways.)

Re: 263 Sea trial semi fail
Glad she's back in one piece. I would assume you used the tool to line it up. Lets get the baby running and on the water for a hour burning up the gas and a big ass grin on your face.

Roger that
Yes, we used the alignment tool.
Humpty Dumpty is back together again. Now we just got to get her to walk....or even better--pee from her exhaust freely while not getting hot swimming.

Re: 263 Sea trial semi fail
Go man go!!! The best way to conduct a rebuild test is at WOT!!! Be sure you have lots of lake, need to run 1 hr minimum.

No Overheat baby!!! Ran for an hour on the lake with multiple test runs. Idle to WOT.
No leaks and roughly 150 degrees on the temp the whole time. Exhaust risers were warm to the touch.
Just have a few slight issues to take care of. Speedometer reads zero and "up" trim is intermittent.
Hopefully speedo tube was just left off and trim senders need adjustment. Was able to trim up using the "trailer" switch while on the water.
In any event, she's a cool hot rod on the water. Thanks all here for your inputs and sage advice.
