1986 Sunsport Tear Down and Rebuild.. by a Novice!

[tallnfast]

got an oil leak somewhere????
gotta find it, plus the little metal piece on the oil fill cap broke off into the "valve" area i think that's what it's called, so i gott find that too!
also anyone know the drip rate for the shaft?
and does it only suppose to drip when turning?

boat.....always something, however after i figure out, i will know, which is kind of half the fun...plus not being too mechanically inclined adds a little spice to the fix....i'll get it done though....

plus yesterday we used my boat in a TV commercial, i will post the commercial when it's done...

You can place a piece of cardboard under the motor to kinda zero in on the leak- at least it will give you a starting point. A T.V. commercial?!?! Awesome way to represent! The drip rate is aprox 3-4 drops a minute I think, and it should only drip when turning. Boat looks great!

Well.... it has been a while since I posted anything.
I actually haven't gotten my boat much on the water this year due to life getting in the way...anyway... the place that helped me with the stringers and misc work now has a commercial.

it was part of the deal i worked out with them since i am in local tv.

anyway, it's pretty cool. so proud of the boat, yes that is me the goofy one driving
