If you fish the coves in the north end of the lake watch out for submerged stumps. There are some there that might as well be concrete posts cemented rigidly into the ground; they will not move.

If I missed anything let me know. I am sure y'all will.
Finally there is a plug that needs to be installed into the hole where the oil pump gear-shaft-bushing assembly used to be. This reseals the crankcase, which of course has to be sealed for the motor...
Now it is time for removal of the oil pump. NOTE: In the following images I have also removed the fuel pump for servicing. This is not necessary, just noted for clarity.
Remove the oil pump from...
There are two large hoses on the right side of the engine that need to be dealt with:
The hose (black) from the bottom of the motor (crankcase) to the external oil tank.
The hose (black with blue...
So first step is removal of the oil tank located on the top front of the motor above the carburetors. There are three bolts/isolators that attach it to the motor, the inlet hose from the remote tank,...
Is it hard? So removal is pretty basic as long as you are reasonably familiar with general engine mechanics and are comfortable with wrenching on your own stuff. I've been building/modding/working on...
I just completed removal of the oil injection system on my 2001 Mercury XR6. So I am adding to the info on BBC to help those who choose to do this later.
This engine came to me used, runs great,...
I kept looking and still cannot find any images of the inlet plates on an XR6 lower unit which boggles my mind. I am probably overthinking these simple things but would like whatever information I...
Fixed thanks
Good morning. First of all I looked (and looked, and looked) for this but could not find it, so apologies if I missed it.

Right will do. My mistake.

So I am beginning to shop for lake property as well. I have not been to Rayburn yet but have been to Toledo Bend. I get the no-docks allowed advantage for appearance but having a dock with a lift...
Click here for a photo of the pad, steps, and transom. The low photo size limit here really screws up the detail so I hosted it remotely.
My pad to prop height is large at 5.5" and I am thinking I need to reduce it by a lot. I'm looking for others experience here with the steeply stepped nature of this hull. BTW I have also posted this...
