just replaced the top gear unit on my right 1984 OMC out drive, now
when I turn the steering wheel my two outdrives move in opposite
directions. Is there a left drive and a right drive and if I replaced a
right drive with a left drive would this cause this problem?

Around here, $80 bucks for a rehubbed prop.

Warranty? How long has it been since you purchased it? If it's still
in the warranty period, nothing. If it's ,not, $80.

Warranty doesn't cover spun hubs unless there was a defect
in material or workmanship that caused it.

No offense, but you are dead wrong.

Sorry.

You are an idiot who never read a warranty in your life. Just another
typical nutter who thinks EVERYTHING is covered by a warranty . . .

Read section 2 (d) in particular.

And also read 3 (f). Note it calls props a normal wear and tear item.

I hope this helps

How the hell would you know?

It really depends on the dealer. My Parker dealer tends NOT to turn down warranty claims, even after the supposed warranty period
has expired. I had a small ding in my Parker's rubrail, and the dealer took care of it this past season at no cost to me. "Covered
under warranty," he said.

If I spin the prop on my Yamaha, which is still under warranty, I am certain the dealer will take care of it.

Perhaps if you weren't such a foul-smelling, obnoxious ass, and if you had a boat worth more than $100, you might get some help,
too, with your 25-year-old outboard.


Get your head out of your ass, Harry and read a warranty. I've
posted a link to Yamaha's warranty here in this thread and shown
in writing where spun props are NOT covered by warranty. If
some dealer wants to eat it for customer satisfaction that's his
own business but woe be to him if he attempts to gets reimbursed
by the manufacturer. He'll be eating spun hubs for supper.

He'd be justified. Having the Capt hang around could be bad for business.

$75 to $100, but how new? It should be a warranty item if the engine
is new.




Wrong again, Krause! The warranty covers defects in material and
workmanship. A spun hub is usually caused by some fool hitting something
with the prop. It's a safety feature built in to keep the gears and or
shafts from being damaged. Unless the owner can show where a defect in
material or workmanship caused the prop to spin the hub he's totally
out of luck when it comes to warranty.

Save your lectures for your butt buddies, doofus. My dealer here and my
dealer in Florida took and take care of whatever little items that go
bang in the night on my boats, even if the warranty expired.

Couple of weeks ago, my dealer replaced a bit of wiring he installed on
one of my boats two seasons ago to power up an accessory. On
recommissioning this year, the dealer's mechanic wrote on my bill,
"Accessory not working, traced to wiring we installed. Replaced N/C."

My dad had a sign hanging at his store that said, "We reserve the right
to refuse to do business with people we don't like." Once or twice a
season he invoked that clause. He would have tossed you out on your
smelly butt.



Just more lies upon lies upon lies Krause, are you so mentally ill you
have started believing your own BS??

So even you might understand, you have no boat of your own & you never
have had & every time you pretend otherwise here you just confirm it all
the more.

Grow up Krause & stop with the infantile lies.


K

Your Krause lie for the day is the one where he pretends Ullico the
union thug pension fund is actually "his" business, when in reality it's
where he works:-) But the interesting thing here is get a go of how they
spend hard working unionists' money on themselves!!!

I'm not wondering if the liar Krause won't come back & tell us this is a
lie just so unionists' don't twig to what a rip off he & his mates a-)



We have first-class benefits, including a top-of-the-line health
insurance plan, a non-contributory defined-benefit pension plan, a
401k,
and a life insurance policy equal to annual salary. We contribute a
share of profits to the 401k on behalf of the employee. Our
employees
pay $4.50 for generic prescriptions and $8.00 for non-generics, but
that's going up next year to $10 and $15. New employees get two
weeks
vacation the first year, and that goes to three weeks the third
year. In
addition, we have 12 paid holidays and we shut down from noon on
Christmas eve to the day after New Year's Day. We also provide 20
days
of paid sick leave a year. And we have an outside company
administering
pre-tax flexible bennies for our employees.
Our fringe benefit package follows the trade union model,
except, of
course, for the profit contributions to 401k's. Trade unions are
not-for-profit enterprises.
How do these compare to the bennies at your shop?

Paid? Every year? I call "bull****". With 3 weeks vacation, 12
paid
holidays, and 20 paid sick days that's 47 *paid* days off every
year. Are
they hourly employees? For a "small business", that's the road to
bankruptcy.

Boy...and you had me going there for a minute.

Not quite so simple, though you are trying hard to make it so. Our
business is up because we're on the cusp of an election year. Our
business always goes up in a major election year.
You could say we're going to be doing very well in 2004 because
Bush is
such a total failure.


The 20 paid sick days aren't part of the "paid" days off unless
those
days are used. None of our people abuses sick leave. In fact, no
one as
yet has even come close to using 20 sick days in one year. They're
there
in case they're needed.


Oh, I forgot. We also provide everyone with LTD.

The company provides an insurance plan that pays 50% of an
employe's
salary for Long Term Disability. Employes have the option of
purchasing
an additional 16.66%, bringing their total to 66.66%. The basic
benefit
maximum is $4,000 per month. With the buy up, the limit is
increased to
$10,000 per month.
