Spring Maintenance- How do you get ready for summer?

[h2osk8er00]

Alignment needs to be done anyway. Here's how to replace PSS for either v drive or inboard:
- loosen the Allen head set screws in the PSS collar keeping in mind there are two set screw holes and 4 set screws, two outer and two inner. Move the collar up the shaft close to the coupler.
- loosen the prop shaft set screws on the prop shaft woodruff key way
- remove the prop
- use a heavy slide hammer attached to the prop shat where the prop nuts locate and pull the shaft away from the coupler
- remove the stainless collar
- loosen the 2 hose clamps on the shaft bellows and remove the graphite collar by sliding it up the shaft
- replace the dry PSS system with the water feed graphite collar and tighten the hose clamps on the bellows
- install stainless shaft collar but don't tighten
-locate shaft back into coupler and tighten set screws
- run water feed hose up to exhaust elbow and remove one of the 1/4" npt plugs at the base and reinstall a 1/4npt to 3/8"barb and connect the hose

Great Information for the guys who look up PSS information! Thanks Cory! I will be leaving mine with the pros as I just didn't want anything to do with it plus my boat hasn't been in the shop since I bought it in 2009 I think... SO might be good to look at some stuff incase I neglected something.

And beck and I will be at Mohave on Friday thru Monday with our boattent.

Hell Yeah! I am setting up my leave with work right now... I am hoping to be out there Thursday night (21 May) thru the following Tuesday/Wednesday (28/29 May) so as to avoid traffic... I guess I am camping it up if that is what everyone else is going to do... Any one staying at the Cottonwood Cove resort?
