Pulled outdrive and bell housing on boat and replaced the bellows. Finally got shift and throttle cables adjusted so it shifts smoothly. Waiting for a linear actuator, lifts the sun deck over the engine. Also waiting for a trim switch. It will lower the outdrive but not raise it. I can use the trailer trim button to raise it for now. Wheeled out the sides and polished them, looks great now. The black sides were really oxidized, looked more like gray than black. Sanded and oiled all the teak. Cleaned vinyl interior, etc. I didn't do all the cleaning and polishing, that was a family effort. We're pulling the cover off later and putting it in the water. Wish me luck. I'll replace the distributor cap, rotor and wires later. Right now it runs pretty decent.
I'll take a few pictures once the cover is off. Can't believe how good it looks being it's 34 years old.
